Wilder’s Zip-n-Climb: Two-Tier, 17-Element Aerial Course in Huntington.
Set among the grounds of the Heritage Farm Museum & Village in Huntington, Wilder’s Zip-n-Climb puts participants into the trees and air with a compact, family-oriented aerial course. Built around Wilder, the farm’s mascot, the course is split into two levels—one at five feet and a second at fifteen feet—and strings together 17 distinct elements so visitors can move from rope bridges and a cargo net to a finishing zipline while feeling very much like Appalachian explorers.
