There's no way I'd take a 2 year old on a zipline, even if they let them, which I highly doubt.

They would harness the two year old on to your harness IF they allow someone this young!!!

Once you pass the first zipline platform , your are virtually on the road of no return!!...so if the two year old is scared and crying and there are still 14 platforms left ...hmmmm !! what now.?

because you have people coming behind, so you cannot turn back.

I agree with the other posters. I don't see how this would be any fun for a 2 year old. This is way higher, way faster, and way scarier in comparison to any kiddie carnival ride. Even if they are allowed, and they try it once, I think it would be over after that and you don't have a choice to quit at that point. Also, there was quite a bit of hiking up and down on the one we went on that took us over the falls.

Sounds like torture to me, for the child and the parents.
