The invention relates to a recreational lifting pendulum which is composed of a support, a pulley yoke (3), a motor (14) and a lifting device. When being in the air for recreation, the recreational lifting pendulum is even elevated to a position away from the ground for several meters sometimes, and human bodies are swung or rotated during the process, so that players enjoy strong high-altitude excitement, and brave spirit is cultivated; the players experience a simple pendulum and conical pendulum immersively, perceptually understand a relation between vibration cycle and pendulum length of the simple pendulum and a relation between cycle and rope length of the conical pendulum, so that strong science interest is excited, and a good foundation is laid for learning related knowledge; the players can enjoy simple-pendulum lifting recreation, simple-pendulum self-rotating lifting recreation, conical-pendulum lifting recreation and conical-pendulum self-rotating lifting recreation respectively, one recreational facility can be played in various modes, thereby being full of interest; the recreational lifting pendulum enriches leisure life and can universally improve scientific quality of countrymen.
