A guided experience inside Principality Stadium. The listing runs 1 hour. Exact meeting point, inclusions and cancellation terms are confirmed on the booking page before you pay.
Overview
The Stadium Flyer at Zip World Cardiff puts you on a 170-meter zip line that runs along the canopy of the Principality Stadium roof. You start by climbing more than 200 steps to a platform 60 meters above the stadium floor, which the operator describes as the highest accessible point of the venue. From there, the flight itself reaches speeds of up to 27 mph while the city spreads out below, with views towards the Brecon Beacons.
The whole experience takes around an hour, from safety briefing to landing. A guide walks you through the route, and all safety equipment is provided as part of the ticket. The listing calls it an adrenaline-pumping adventure in the heart of Cardiff, and one recent reviewer described their maiden zip flight here as unique and praised the trainers who run it.
There is no hotel pickup involved. You simply make your own way to Stadium Plaza on Wood Street, sign a waiver, and go up. If you want a fuller stadium experience, the listing points out that you can pair the flight with the Stadium Walk and the Stadium Drop. Leave high heels, sandals, and bags behind, wear comfortable clothes, and bring a hair tie if you need one.
