​The Matagarup Bridge climb - Perth's new adventure experience  - is scheduled to open on 26^th January, with more than 2,000 tickets having already been sold. As part of the staged launch of the Matagarup Bridge activities, the climb attraction will open first, with the highly anticipated zip-line on track to open in March.

Operated by Western Australian company Perth Bridge Climb and Zip Pty Ltd, the adventure activities will be marketed as Matagarup Zip+Climb.

The bridge climb will be offered at an introductory price of $59 per person with photos of the experience emailed directly to participants. A virtual reality climb is also under development to ensure people of all ages and mobility can enjoy the experience.

The bridge climb will involve a 314-step trek up the bridge's main arch, ascending 58 metres to the 'sky view' platform before descending along the other side of the arch.

Night-climbs, including full-moon tours, will also be offered, giving participants a unique birds-eye view of Perth City and its surrounds under colourful night lights.

Matagarup Zip+Climb are planning other activities within Burswood Park, including an all-ages climbing frame and miniature golf course, to encourage more people to the precinct.

Comments attributed to Western Australian Transport Minister Rita Saffioti advises "this exciting new attraction will bring locals and tourists to the area, thrilling people who have been waiting eagerly since we first announced the activities project in 2018.

"Tickets have been on sale less than a month and already more than 2,000 have been sold.

"The finishing touches are now being applied to the zip-line ride, which will begin operating once all necessary safety and operational approvals are in place."
