What visitors say
We completed this as a coporate work event. It was amazing! Personally, I am not scared of height, but when you are up there on treetop it does give you a sense of uneasiness! Our guider, Andy was super helpful, attentive to details, and the constant reminder of safety. Thank you

Had a great day, staff were very informative, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit, lots of different activities to do which will keep the whole family entertained for the day. Even gave a refund when they didn’t have to, and offered alternative activities. Overall a lovely experience. Thank you Nice gift shop there, reasonably priced gifts you can also buy snacks and hot and cold drinks too.

We went as a confident family of five We finished as a set of losers (except for me) However, the staff were BRILLIANT! Finn and the rest of the team were very supportive, extremely polite and incredibly courteous, at all times! We had a 1pm booking, and with three kids, we naturally took a long time to get around the course, and were there til 6pm. But not once did the staff complain! Instead, they helped us (without rushing us), and gave us tips and tricks to combat the more difficult sections. Finn & Team, you guys are a credit to Go Ape!! We’ll definitely come back one day! Thank you ❤️

Had a really fun time on the high ropes course. Staff were very friendly and helpful, also managed to be enthusiastic in the briefings even though they must have been through everything many times before. The course had a good range of activities, and some great ziplines. Overall well maintained, although onsite facilities beyond the ropes course are very limited. Would definitely recommend
