Zipit Adventure Gift Guide: Why Experiences Beat Things This Holiday Season

Let’s be honest — do we really need more stuff? Sure, that sweater may be beautiful, and that new toy might keep the kids busy for a while… until it all ends up gathering up dust in a cupboard, forgotten. While the holiday season is the time for giving gifts, why not change it up and give the gift of adventure instead?

At Zipit, we believe the best gifts make you grin from ear to ear, your heart pound with excitement, and leave you with unforgettable memories. When you join us to go swinging in the treetops at our Forest Adventure Parks in Ireland, we can guarantee you won’t want for anything, except to do it all over again! Better yet, we offer a range of gift cards to make all this possible. Find out more below, so you can skip the shopping queue and make this a holiday to remember!

Why Holiday Experiences Are Better Than Things

At the end of the day, our most joyful memories are not of the things we accumulate. Sure, getting some new clothes or a nifty gadget might give you a temporary dopamine hit. But it doesn’t last. It gets packed away, only for the next holiday season to roll around and give you another short-lived dose of excitement. 

The memories that stay with us lie in the moments of fun, connection, and growth — the kind of moments that bring people together. These are the kinds of experiences that encourage people to step out of their comfort zone, try something new, and feel alive. And at Zipit, we offer just that!

What Makes Zipit the Perfect Experiential Gift

A day at Zipit isn’t something you’ll easily forget about. Balancing across logs suspended meters in the air and flying through the treetops is a surefire way to activate your memory system! Our treetop circuits are all about taking you to new heights, literally and figuratively. 

We have locations across Ireland, including Tibradden Wood Zipit in Dublin, Lough Key Zipit in Roscommon, Zipit Farran Park in Cork, and Zipit Djouce Park in Wicklow, making our adventures easily accessible. And with courses suitable for kids ages seven and up, the whole family can join in the fun. Our Djouce Park course also has a special course for younger children from ages three!

Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning thrill-seeker, you’ll experience Ireland’s forests from a thrilling perspective. Our safety briefings and top-quality harness systems ensure the only thing you need to focus on is conquering the obstacles!

Completing our circuits takes about three hours, increasing in difficulty as you go. Kids will stick to courses appropriate to their ages, while adults can advance as far as their bravery will take them. While your attention may be on the challenge at hand, being up in the trees and close to nature has its own unique benefits.
