This is the second time we visited, first time was this time last year. Absolutely brilliant fun, kids loved it and we had a blast ourselves. This definitely keeps the kids entertained and it’s also a great family day out. The staff are very friendly and super helpful. There’s always someone around if you need any help or support. Would definitely recommend this visit! There’s a lovely cafe and play ground just down the pathway from go ape for after. · via Google [Daniel Harris](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108330862395172066794/reviews) ★★★★★ Kids love going here. Make sure if you're a loose end you book in. You don't have to participate, provided you follow the rules. You can supervise from the ground, so I sat, with a coffee and watch the kids. Staff are great and very knowledgeable · via Google [Radek Bednarczyk](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109401287882289959466/reviews) ★★★★★ Best of the best , recommend.

They particularly enjoyed the zip wire. We hadn't booked and had to wait about half an hour for a slot. It was really expensive though, about £26 per child for an hour. It is worth checking to see if any discount vouchers are available. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4871bb2cae250d43:0x2155159e6a325dc6!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Pike Lake, Go Ape Forest of Dean Mallards, Parkend, Lydney, GL15 4HD [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.8061812%2C-2.5609476) **Category** High Ropes & Aerial Trails **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (378 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Suggested visit** 3-4 hours **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Forest of Dean [More attractions in Forest of Dean](https://staycation.co.uk/forest-of-dean/attractions) ★ 4.7 (378 reviews) [Visit official website](https://goape.co.uk/locations/forest-of-dean-beechenhurst?utm_source=dowtk&utm_medium=membership&utm_campaign=dowtk_enhanced) [01603895500](tel:01603895500) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Forest of Dean **Postcode** GL15 4HD **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C3VRC4Q+FJ [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4871bb2cae250d43:0x2155159e6a325dc6!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4871bb2cae250d43:0x2155159e6a325dc6!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4871bb2cae250d43:0x2155159e6a325dc6!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Forest of Dean Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
