Adven­tures returns to Gov­er­nors Island this May!

Feb 7, 2018 9:13 am

Please note: this arti­cle is from 2018. Adven­tures at Gov­er­nors Island (and the zipline) closed in 2021.

Atten­tion New York City thrill seek­ers! Adding to the Island’s already grow­ing recre­ation­al offer­ings, Adven­tures at Gov­er­nors Island will return this sea­son with afford­able, fam­i­ly friend­ly activ­i­ties. In 2017, Adven­tures at Gov­er­nors Island wel­comed 25,000 New York­ers to its zipline, rock climb­ing and maze chal­lenge along the Island’s west­ern shore. This year, Adven­tures will expand with an even longer zipline, refresh­ment sta­tion and shad­ed area for onlook­ers. Locat­ed adja­cent to the Island’s bustling Liggett Ter­race and Ham­mock Grove, Adven­tures at Gov­er­nors Island will reopen on May 1. 

“Gov­er­nors Island is known for its rich his­to­ry, beau­ti­ful views, and leisure activ­i­ties,” said Beau Berni, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of NY Carousel Enter­tain­ment. ​“We know its com­mu­ni­ty of return­ing and new vis­i­tors will find Adven­tures at Gov­er­nors Island a pre­ferred choice for recre­ation­al fam­i­ly-fun. The 300 feet Fly­wire Zipline, giant Amazen’ Maze, and Climb­ing Chal­lenge walls will all return along with more com­fort­able ameni­ties for our guests.”

New York Carousel Enter­tain­ment respond­ed to a Request for Pro­pos­als (RFP) that The Trust issued in Octo­ber 2017. The RFP sought inter­im, tem­po­rary enter­tain­ment and recre­ation­al uses for the West­ern Devel­op­ment Zone, a flat paved site locat­ed on the South­ern por­tion of Gov­er­nors Island.
