Picture yourself at the top of Notchville Park preparing for your first ride on the Giant Swing. The attendant gives you instructions and you're ready to go. You hold your breath and hit the release ... whooooooosh! You swing out far over Notchville Park’s upper pool. You swoop back and forth until you come to a stop naturally. The arc of the Giant Swing is 100 feet and the cables are triangulated so you stay on course. Find out for yourself what it’s like to be a giant on a giant-sized swing!

Tickets are $7 per person per ride; $12 per person for two rides. 8 years & older.
