Before engaging in any Vista Lago Adventure Park or zip line activities, each participant must first carefully read & sign the VLAP waiver. This waiver is part of the online reservation process, but if you plan on just dropping in, you can print & fill out the form at home to save some time & get you on the course that much sooner!
We want our park to be open as much as you do, but we also want you to be safe! If you have any concern in times of inclement weather or high winds, please call our Welcome Center at (805) 710-7970 prior to coming out. We reserve the right to close the park at any given time due to weather. Thankfully we are on the Central Coast, where those days will be few & far between!
