Go Ape Experiences

Go Ape is the UK's leading forest adventure brand, best-known for its iconic tree-top high ropes courses that are built into the trees. The high-ropes experiences combine their famous Tarzan swings, along with zip wires, rope bridges and tress crossings.

High-ropes courses can be built anywhere on a network of free-standing poles, but Go Ape courses are all fully integrated into the natural forest woodland, with modules built in the trees. Go Ape always features signature obstacles like the drop-net Tarzan swings and they use clever technology to ensure you are continuously attached via your belay device, without restricting movement. All of which make Go Ape unique.

You can choose your course according to age. Go Ape offers a range of high-ropes experiences where the height and the difficulty of the modules vary. The Adventure experiences are specifically aimed at children, with some venues offering lowdown routes for 4 to 6 year olds, as well as mid-height routes for 6 to 10 year olds. All Go Ape locations have the full-height Challenge experiences for 10 years+ and adults. 

Currently, our Go Ape vouchers focus exclusively on the signature Tree-top Challenge (10yrs+) and Tree-top Adventures (4-10yrs) experiences, available at 35+ venues around England, Scotland and Wales.

All Go Ape locations offer high ropes Adventures and Challenges. Specific venues also offer ground activities such as Segways, archery, mini Land Rovers, forest biking and escape games too. 

The high-ropes Challenge runs across the tree canopy at heights of up to 26 metres! The Adventure for kids are around 12 m off the ground (which is higher than your average house!), whilst the youngest 4 to 6 year olds will be a couple of metres up, ideal for building their Go Ape confidence!

Yes. All participating children and teens under the age of 16 must be supervised by an adult who is 18 years+. Depending on the age of the children and the course tier selected, adults may need to participate on the course alongside them, or supervise from the forest floor. For example, an adult can supervise up to 8 children aged between 6 and 10 years from the ground on the Adventure course. Don't hesitate to contact Into The Blue's customer service team for more info.

Safety is central to all Go Ape experiences. High-ropes participants are fitted with continuous belay or smart-climbing harness systems. Everyone has a comprehensive safety briefing from qualified Go Ape instructors. Once on the course, you remain securely attached to the safety wire from start to finish.

Whilst you don't need to be an athlete, a reasonable level of mobility and balance is require as you will be climbing access ladders, negotiating platforms and moving obstacles all at heights of up to 26 m. 

Yes! The main High-ropes Challenge experience from Go Ape will see you traversing the canopy at up to 26 m above the ground. However, you are attached at all times and you can tackle the course entirely at your own pace, feeling very proud of what you've achieved at the end!

The mid-height Adventure routes take between 1 and 1.5 hours. You should allow 2 to 3 hours for the main Challenge experiences, including kitting up time.

Go Ape has over 35 woodland venues around the UK, including popular high-ropes sites at Battersea Park and Alexandra Palace in London, the Lake District, Bracknell, Leeds Castle, Southampton and even in the heart of Sherwood Forest!
