Most importantly: wheelchair friendly for 85-90% of the skywalk! Wide enough ramps up and a turn around section* (cuts out the suspension bridge with more flexibility that likely wouldn't allow for a wheelchair*) The skywalk is unlike any experience you'll ever have. People come from all over the world to experience this, I'm fortunate enough it's my "backyard" so to speak. The amount of science and engineering that went into making this is next level. (So is the upkeep which is so interesting to watch if you happen to be there when routine maintenance is needed) Several feet above the forest floor you get a perspective unlike anything else Ive taken siblings, cousins, friends and their kids, and honestly anyone who wants to come with me I love the zoo, I love the skywalk. I'm practically an unofficial tour guide read more

While we were passing through Eureka we decided to stop by the Sequoia Zoo, which included the Redwood Skywalk. We are AZA members so when showing our membership we got in for half price. The Redwood Sky walk is located in the back left side of the zoo, it is a self guided tour. The skywalk slowly increases over 100 ft above the beautiful forest floor below and is about a 1/4 mile walk. I am afraid of heights, but felt safe walking along the trail. Most of the walk is over the park nextdoor to the zoo, as you are looking down from high above and you can see tiny people & dogs walking the trails below it was so cool. We could also see the bears in the zoo from high up in the trees, we had a better view of them than could see them below on the zoo trail. Be sure to look up at the majestic redwood trees along the trail, and when on the platforms you can touch the redwoods, and learn alittle about them with the information boards. It was an amazing experience, being so high up in the Redwood trees. It was Breathtaking and beautiful. I felt safe walking the trail as they had guardrails that go along the trail and was pretty good width across for people to walk by. People who are nervous of the wooden suspension bridges that move when others walking on them can walk about half way through trail before reaching these bridges and walk back the way they came. We will always remember this trip to Eureka, and cannot wait to bring our granddaughter here next time. Enjoy your adventure! read more

This skywalk is located inside the zoo. Its entry is included in the zoo entrance fee. Parking is on the street, on W street...the skywalk itself was so amazing!

Immersive experience [Eureka CA] The Sky Walk is accessible only through the Sequoia Park Zoo so pay one admission fee and you can also visit the zoo at the same time which we also enjoyed seeing the animals. The Redwood Sky Walk experience is a series of nine platforms and bridges each offering unique views of the canopy of the redwoods from above. We began by ascending the launch deck. If you're afraid of heights, just don't look down while walking on the bridge LoL! because at the highest point, the Redwood Sky Walk reaches over 100-feet above the lush forest ground. Also, the bridges are prone to sway in minor winds and even as you walk through. The Sky Walk has 3-1/2 - 4 feet-high guardrails for safety. It didn't take us long to finish just under 1/4 mile to the end and back. No harnesses and helmets were required. The upper canopy of these trees reaches approximately 250 feet. The Sky Walk is a self-guided interpretive experience and we enjoyed it. We truly felt the incredible height of the suspended bridges from this experience. Review #3770 read more

We came here as a group of 10, 6 kids 12 and under and 4 adults. We had such a good time at this place. The sky bridge was a lot of fun to walk on. The kids really enjoyed being up high. We had a great experience with one of your workers, Finley, I believe her name was. You could tell that she really enjoyed answering any questions that the kids or adults had and that she was very knowledgeable and all around loved the animals. She definitely looked out for their safety. Animal lover for sure. read more

A stunning park and a beautiful walk. Even better, if you have someone who is disabled, you can take a wine drive and they can see it beautifully from the car. Just be careful in the surrounding areas because they are scary! Lots of homeless and drug addicts and we were harassed. read more

We live in the area and have visited for private events and during May the 4th Be With You. It is so fun every time we go. The gift shop is really nice and every staff person we have met have been welcoming and knowledgeable about the animals at the zoo. We plan to go again soon. read more

The Zoo doesn't have many animals. And they use older promotional material so my child was looking forward to see the 'red panda', who had died, sometime ago. Which is probably why they constructed the skywalk as an attraction. It's nicely done, and not a bad experience, but totally not worth the $25 a non-resident. A $100 for a family of four. Also, the key word, easily missed, is "Urban Redwood Forest". These Redwoods are in the park adjoining the Zoo, which has no entry fee. I think a walk through it would be just as good an experience. Which we did later. If we had realized all this before, definitely would have opted out. read more

The Redwood sky walk is beautifully made and finished and provides a serene, one-of-a-kind view of the redwoods and parts of the zoo that I never imagined could be so interesting and tranquil at the same time. I highly recommend a family stroll through the redwoods on the skywalk! Beautiful and fun! read more

It's an amazing feat that they accomplished. It is a slow accent to the canopy making it doable for many people of differing fitness abilities and some of it is handicapped accessible which is even more awesome. Sometimes it can be more crowded than we are used to in Humboldt county but always worth the trip. The view is amazing and it's refreshing and peaceful. read more

The Redwood Sky Walk - View from skywalk - Parks Near Me - Eureka, California

This was a delightful little stop in Eureka, California, where my husband put aside his fear of heights, and went on the sky bridge, and he was a little scared on the longer suspended bridges, but he was a big boy, and he made it all the way across and said it wasn't as bad as he thought. The Bears are really active and it was a great view to watch them goofing around. read more

I had heard good things about the Redwood Sky Walk, so Jamie W. and I made a point of coming here as part of our weekender in Eureka. However, we were taken aback when we discovered that as non-residents, we were charged $24.95 each for admission. They make it a package deal with the Sequoia Park Zoo which they proclaim as one of the smallest accredited zoos in the country. Frankly we had little interest in patronizing the zoo, so we basicially spent fifty bucks for a quarter-mile canopy walk. Just about a year old, it was definitely well-constructed, and the foot traffic wasn't overwhelming. At a height of around 100 feet, the platforms and bridges appeared quite sturdy between the redwoods. There were even a couple of brief suspension bridges that recalled a junior-grade version of the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver. The entire walk scarcely took fifteen minutes. As a point of comparison, the Trees of Mystery up in Klamath has a similar redwood canopy walk and charges $20 for the entire park including a tramway. There's also an impressive new boardwalk among the Grove of Titans up in Jebediah Smith Redwoods State Park up in Crescent City, and it's free. Options to consider. RELATED - Lost on the Lost Coast?

The sky walk is lots of fun with fantastic views of the big trees. The walk is very kid friendly as well as short, like a 1/4 mile loop through the trees (to the end and back). It gradually goes higher so that it's not terribly noticeable. The walkway feels very stable and safe. It's easy to walk. There are a few lookout points where you can take it all in. You can see the bear enclosure from the sky walk. It was fun to watch the bears from above. If I lived here, I would buy the annual membership as the zoo was adorable as well. Your ticket to the zoo includes admittance to the sky walk. The zoo cafe had delicious food, too. A fun little stop that took about an hour or two to see everything they had to offer. I highly recommend it. read more

This was way worth it. Even better, we were there right when it opened and I guess it was (according to one of the workers) amazingly slow. We got to walk the whole skywalk to ourselves. It was a great experience. They had some good representation for California snakes...saw the obvious favorites - gopher/king/rubber boa. The red panda was super active...so that was awesome. Only negative, id say was more due to the town than the zoo - What the hell is up with people not picking up the dog poop after their dogs in Eureka. Holy hell...there was so much dog poop outside the zoo. I get it...it's nice traveling with dogs...but JFC people.. pick up after your pets. Even my 6 year old noticed and was asking me what the hell that was about. As a pro-tip - we are zoo members in Sacramento and brought our membership cards...gave a nice hefty discount! read more

This was such an awesome experience! The redwoods are beautiful and it was such a treat to see the zoo animals from above. My 5 year old daughter trudged ahead with no fear narrating what she saw the whole time! It was so gorgeous to be in the trees! I highly recommend this adventure to you and your family! read more

The Skywalk has you 100 feet in the air as you walk through the trees. One way is completely ADA accessible or you can go to the right and cross swinging bridges. It is something to see for all ages! You will be disappointed if you miss it. read more

A fun way to see the redwoods from an angle you don't usually get to see! All the skywalks feel very secure, even the "swinging" bridges. There are informative signs along the way about the redwood forests and the canopy. It's not a super long walk so it is still appropriate for young kids. Definitely recommend the Skywalk as part of a trip to Sequoia Zoo (which is also a great place!) read more

The Sky Walk is a must-see if you're in the area. It is a little pricey for those who aren't residents, it's $24.95. BUT that also gets you into the Zoo portion of the park. The Zoo is more like a rehabilitation center, and not so much a Zoo. If you're afraid of heights you may not enjoy this, but there's no turnstiles or anything so you can always turn back if you change your mind. It's really cool, there's a lot of interesting information along the walks. The view really is incredible, and really is something to see. There are a few bridges where it's only wide enough for one person to walk one way. There are signs before those bridges, so you need to make sure to wait if someone is already on the bridge. It really is amazing to see the trees from high up. There is a public park right behind the Zoo, if you walk through there you see the trees from the ground, it's really something to see them from two different perspectives. There's street parking, and it's pretty easy to find a spot. Really a cool thing to see if you're in the area. read more

Fun! Calming! Peaceful! Adventurous! A great time! Weather was perfect; not too crowded!! Friendly staff! The animals were a bonus! read more

We drove five hours to come here and it was all worth the drive. Too bad we got there too late that we didn't have much time to explore or pet the animals. They are still doing improvements and I'm sure it'll look much much better. I also love the variety of dahlia flowers, my favorite part actually! The animal zoo is nice too, not too many animals but you could pet them which is a plus. read more

I thought that this was a great addition to The Sequoia Zoo in Eureka. It's a really beautiful structure and it appears really sturdy and safe. It's definitely a hit with kids. You go pretty high up, but not too high. People were respectful and followed the rules. The Zoo was really cute with unusual animals. There was a pretty big petting zoo too! read more

Great for the whole family. The Zoo also is a much do, let the kids run & play & observe. Relax & enjoy nature!

Gorgeous! Fantastic addition to the zoo that I would otherwise have skipped. Beautiful views and so much fun for kids and adults alike! It's not very long so don't expect a mile of walking. It's a quick loop that is handicap accessible as well. Lots of places for amazing photos as you dangle in the canopy on the bridges. Secure any jewelry or belongings before you get up there because there's no ground access for that area and the walk is made of plastic frames strung together that are full of holes. Signs everywhere say don't tough the trees but we were the only ones obeying unfortunately. Sadly, I anticipate in a year or so, the bark of the trees will be worn smooth by all the people rubbing their hands on them and grabbing the trunks. So please be respectful of the trees and keep your hands to yourself. read more

We initially balked at the out-of-state resident price for adults for this attraction ($25), but it really was magical walking high among the redwoods. Great little signs along the way. You get admission to sweet little zoo as well. Go early to avoid chaos of little kids. read more

The Redwood Sky Walk officially opened on June 4th, 2021. "The longest sky walk in the western United States, the Redwood Sky Walk, located within Sequoia Park Zoo, is just under one-fourth-mile to the end and back, stretched out across a network of suspended bridges. At the highest point, you'll stand more than 100 feet above the verdant forest floor and about one-third of the way up in the old-growth and mature second-growth redwood grove. The upper canopy of the trees in this region reaches approximately 250 feet (while the tallest known living coastal redwood towers to 380 feet). Along the way, posted signage celebrates local redwood history and ecology. The sky walk is also ADA accessible with the exception of one optional segment. Not for those who easily feel queasy, the 'adventure leg' is a 369-foot-long, open mesh decking which offers more exposure, greater height, and more bridge sway. Visitors will feel more exposed to the stunning natural surroundings and more aware of their height, and will likely feel like they're moving even while standing still. The Redwood Sky Walk will officially open with a grand opening party on Friday, June 4, 2021. The ceremony will be followed by a weekend of special activities to celebrate Northern California's newest, and tallest, attraction."
