My 10 year-old son had the most enjoyable time here on 4th August. He loved the variation of the course and the friendliness of the staff who were extremely personable and patient. As a parent I felt incredibly reassured that my son was safe due to the diligent and professional approach of all of the staff who were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for a great day out that we would highly recommend!

We had the most amazing experience at Go Ape, and I can’t thank the team enough. My daughter was extremely nervous before starting, but Cal, Keren, and Josh were absolutely incredible. They were so patient, kind, and reassuring with her from the very beginning. They took the time to explain everything at a level she could understand, never rushed her, and constantly encouraged her throughout. Their calm, caring approach completely changed her experience. By the end, she was smiling, feeling proud of herself, and had achieved something she never thought she could do. Watching her confidence grow was so special, and that’s entirely down to how amazing these three members of staff were. They are a real credit to Go Ape and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure my daughter felt safe, supported, and capable. Thank you, Cal, Keren, and Josh, for your patience, kindness, and encouragement - we can’t wait to come back!

What an amazing family day out! All the staff were super friendly and made us feel comfortable on our first ever go ape trip. Our youngest was a little wary of heights and the instructors really helped her find her confidence. She clearly wanted to give the number 6 a go but was scared! Our instructor, Josh talked her through every step and unlimately gave her the confidence to go for it! She's still buzzing about it today and wants to go back every week! Thanks Go Ape Team!

Go Ape at Salcey Forest is a fantastic experience for all! I went with my grandchildren at the weekend. Everyone goes through a thorough safety briefing before they are allowed to start the experience. I was particularly impressed by the staff that delivered the briefing - they were knowledgeable and friendly. Throughout the experience the staff are continually watching and are on hand to immediately help, offer advice and, in some cases, "rescue" those that need it. The 4 young men staff that I saw are exceptional ambassadors for Go Ape. They were all vigilant, helpful, very friendly and approachable at all times. Go Ape at Salcey Forest is safe, friendly and great experience!
