The Bellevue Zip Tour
The Bellevue Zip Tour is a recreational zip lining program located in beautiful Eastgate Park. The tour is comprised of 6 ½ zip lines that range in length from 78 feet to 458 feet long, and includes 2, wooden suspension bridges. Riders travel as fast as 35 MPH and are up to 80 feet off the ground.
Waterfalls and Hikes
Situated between Highway 2 and Interstate 90, along with their respective mountain passes, Bellevue sits in the catbird seat for waterfall lovers. Some of the most renowned cascades in the state are found along the Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes. And there are flavors to satiate all outdoor appetites—family-friendly, drive-up, hike-in, swimmable, and fishable. Plan your waterfall wandering day trip.
Fun on the water
Bellevue has reimagined ways to creatively explore the Pacific Northwest waters for an aquatic adventure, relaxation, and inspiration. Rent kayaks or SUPs from the REI boathouse on Meydenbauer Bay or take a nature tour through Mercer Slough. Check out the best places to splash and paddle.
