If your kids have never done it before and are young it's good, however I took my son who's 9 and it was too easy and we did pay extra for the extra part which would of made it abit more enjoyable however it was closed on Easter holidays so disappointed as it would of made it longer and more fun. We still prefer Zip world at Lake Windermere.

Kids had a great time. Instructors were very supportive when needed. Well run operation. Kids loved the zip wires. There are also more challenging activities for adults.

This was our first time on Segway, but our instructor Jack was very knowledgeable and very clear with instructions. After a little practice to find our balance we headed off into the beautiful forest along some great trails. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough., we will be back! Thanks Go Ape and particularly Jack for making this such a fun experience. GLING xx A return visit for the simply fabulous sundown adventure! Again, never having attempted a high ropes course ever before this was a a baptism of fire! Nighttime course in the pitch Black Forest where the course was lit up spectacularly. Such great fun and again, all the instructors were so helpful, kind and patient with me working my way round the three loops. So much fun I didn’t even notice the rain lol 😂

Absolutely superb place for go ape!!! The highest go ape course in the UK!!! Well worth it. Note, pricey parking. Even go ape customers have to pay. Some lovely walks from site available. My super favourite Gruffalo and stick man trail. Definitely place to come back and explore more but I would park elsewhere. Go ape staff all super friendly , doing an amaizing job as usual to keep everyone safe and happy 😊. Many thanks
