Zip World has made the difficult decision to close one of its adventure attractions in Wales. The company recently announced the closure of Zip World Conwy in Dolgarrog. This site was acquired by Zip World last year, following the closure of Adventure Parc Snowdonia’s surf lagoon and indoor activities in 2023. The indoor activity side and pod accommodation were leased by Zip World from the site owners. Zip World Conwy offered guests five different adventures, from crazy climbs and ninja assault courses to soft play and a high wire course. It was the fourth location for the adventure giant in North Wales, alongside sites in Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog, and Penrhyn Quarry in Bethesda.
However, despite this setback with Zip World Conwy, the company is continuing to expand its offerings. Recently, Zip World unveiled Zip World London at the Olympic park, which is scheduled to open on Valentine’s Day. In a statement regarding the closure of Zip World Conwy, the company expressed gratitude to their guests and supporters who made the site a popular indoor adventure destination throughout 2024. The company stated, “After much careful consideration, we have made the decision to cease operations at Zip World Conwy. This was not a choice we took lightly…”
If individuals have existing bookings at Zip World Conwy, the company assures they will be contacted with alternative options. Zip World looks forward to welcoming guests to their other nearby locations and providing unique and exciting experiences in the future. Last November, plans were announced for Global Shred Ventures to take over the Adventure Parc Snowdonia site, proposing a £21 million plan to reintroduce surfing and construct a snow tunnel.
It’s always sad to see a popular attraction like Zip World Conwy closing its doors, but it’s reassuring to know that the company is still committed to providing thrilling experiences at their other sites. With the recent unveiling of Zip World London, it’s evident that Zip World is dedicated to offering adventure seekers new and exciting opportunities. As the adventure giant navigates changes at one location, visitors can look forward to experiencing Zip World’s unique offerings at their various other sites in North Wales.
It’s important for businesses to adapt and evolve, especially in the face of challenges. Zip World’s decision to close Zip World Conwy shows their commitment to making strategic choices for the long-term success of the company. While it may be disappointing for fans of the attraction, this decision allows Zip World to focus on their other ventures and continue to grow and innovate in the adventure tourism industry.
Overall, the closure of Zip World Conwy marks a new chapter for Zip World as they shift their focus towards other exciting opportunities. Guests can look forward to more thrilling adventures and experiences from Zip World in the future. The adventure giant’s dedication to providing top-notch entertainment remains unwavering, ensuring that visitors will continue to enjoy unforgettable moments at their various locations across North Wales.
