Texas Shade

Glenwood Cemetery is one of Houston's historic landmarks that accommodates some of the most delightful statues and impressive landscapes that rival those of many arboretums, making it the perfect place for a quiet refuge and peaceful meditation amid inspiring natural beauty. Glenwood also provides a place for families, visitors, and community members to gather and host events, such as educational seminars, and is a place to research and connect with history. Many prominent Texans from the days of the Republic until the present are buried here, and the names on the elaborately carved marble and granite will remind you of the rich heritage.

Work your way up and across a 42 ft platform as you choose between the exhilarating rush of a simulated free fall experience or a slow, controlled rappel descent. Trek through and take an optional detour through nine aerial challenges, grab a friend, and soar across the park side by side on the longest, fastest zipline at 555 feet.
