Zipline Las Vegas with kids: no age limit, two rules that matter
FLY LINQ publishes no minimum age at all — a five-year-old who makes the height and weight can ride it. What actually decides whether your child flies is three foot four of height, sixty pounds of weight, and which of the three lines you pick.
Quick answer
The short answer. Take children to FLY LINQ if they clear three foot four and sixty pounds: it is seated, gradual, and ten lines fire together so the whole family crosses side by side. For a lighter child, SlotZilla’s lower line downtown starts at fifty pounds. Nobody under thirteen flies without a ticketed adult.

Why the Strip line suits children
Seated, together, and short
The only line in Las Vegas where a family crosses side by side.
Three things make FLY LINQ the family choice, and none of them is the price.
It is seated. Children go up in a harness that holds them upright with their feet off the deck. There is no face-down position to talk anyone into, which is the part that frightens most first-time riders.
You go together. Ten parallel lines fire at the same moment, so a parent flies beside the child rather than watching from the deck and hoping. Nowhere else in this city does that.
It is short. Thirty-five to forty-five seconds. The queue and the harness take longer than the ride, which means there is very little time for second thoughts once you are moving.
The trade-off is that it is also the gentlest of the three, so a thirteen-year-old looking to be frightened will be unimpressed. That child wants the Zoomline downtown, or the SkyJump off the STRAT if they are old enough for it.
Practical, with children
Six things to sort before the tower
- Measure and weigh at home
Three foot four and sixty pounds. Doing this in the hotel room avoids a conversation at the tower with a disappointed child.
- Book the same slot for everyone
The lines fire together, so a family on one booking flies together. Separate bookings can land in separate launches.
- Empty every pocket
Phones, sunglasses, hair clips and hats all go in the locker. Children are the ones who forget, and nothing survives thirty-five miles an hour.
- Tie long hair back
Not a published rule, just the difference between a good photograph and a bad one.
- Ride before dinner, not after
The queue after dark is longest between nine and eleven, which is also when small children stop cooperating.
- Have a plan for the one who backs out
The High Roller is two minutes away and sold at its own counter on the promenade. Nobody has to stand at the bottom feeling left out.

Riding with kids, answered
How old do you have to be to zipline in Las Vegas?
There is no published age limit on FLY LINQ. The test is three foot four of height and sixty pounds of weight. Riders of twelve and under must fly with a ticketed rider of thirteen or over.
Can a young child ride the Las Vegas zipline?
If they clear three foot four and sixty pounds, yes. Below sixty pounds, SlotZilla’s lower line downtown takes riders from fifty.
Can parents and children fly together?
On FLY LINQ, yes — ten lines launch at once, so a family booked on the same slot crosses the promenade side by side.
Is the Las Vegas zipline scary for children?
Less than most parents expect. It is ridden seated and facing forward, the take-up is gradual, and it is over in under a minute.
Which Las Vegas zipline is best for a small child?
SlotZilla’s lower Zipline downtown, because its weight floor is fifty pounds rather than sixty. Its upper Zoomline starts at eighty and is face down.
