Macau Zipcity is an urban zipline attraction at the Lisboeta Macau resort on the Cotai side of the city. It is marketed as the first urban zipline experience in the Asia Pacific region, and it gives you something unusual to do in a destination best known for casinos and heritage streets. The ticket we recommend includes the zipline ride itself, all of the safety equipment, a sightseeing experience at the top of the tower and a challenge jump in which staff secure your harness and guide you off the platform. It is a short, concentrated adrenaline hit rather than a half-day outing, so it fits easily into a Cotai afternoon alongside the gondolas and the shows. The staff handle the equipment and briefing, and you only need to arrive on time with your e-ticket and ID. It suits teenagers, adventurous couples and groups of friends more than small children.
How to visit
The box office is on the first level of the Lisboeta Macau resort, in the shopping area, and you should arrive about 30 minutes before your flight time. An e-ticket and identification are needed at check-in. If you are late, you may be moved to a later slot depending on availability. The ticket is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled, so be sure of your plans before you book. Check the current age, height and weight rules with the operator, as they are not set out on the ticket page.
What to expect
After check-in and a safety briefing, you are fitted with a harness and helmet and taken up the tower. The top gives you a moment to look around the Cotai skyline before your ride. The zipline itself is quick and exhilarating, and the challenge jump is a step up in nerves for anyone who wants it. You can add a photo and video package, which is sold separately and is worth considering because there is little time for your own camera.
Making the most of it
Wear closed, flat shoes, trousers or shorts that are comfortable in a harness, and leave loose items in a locker or with a non-participating friend. Go earlier in the day to avoid the heat and the weekend rush. Nervous participants can usually ask staff how the jump works before committing.
Good to know
The resort is a short shuttle or taxi ride from the other Cotai hotels, so you can combine it easily with a gondola ride or a show. Operations can be paused in bad weather, so keep your plans flexible if there is a typhoon warning or heavy rain.
