    Absolutely amazing day. Booked online, booked in, little tuition before start, all without fault, or delay. Experience of Go ape staff was more than helpful, experts in the field of aerial fun. Read the info to height restrictions and PARKING. Although plenty of parking available and warden operated pay and display including disabled must pay but cheap enough for great day out.

    Fabulous morning spent high in the canopy swinging and climbing around. All the staff were brilliant and helpful in getting everyone around the obstacles. They’ll redirect groups so you’re not stuck behind slower people. Be prepared to pay at the car park and it can take longer than you planned!

    This place is awesome! Let me start by saying it's not a cheap day out! But...its a memory building place and worth every penny. The staff are a great bunch of people and the treetop challenge is certainly a challenge. The course for those following the course from the ground, probably photographing those above, it a beautiful walk through the woods, laughing and encouraging all the way. There is a small coffee hut and a big lake on site too :)

    Fantastic experience. I went along somewhat reluctantly to supervise my two teenagers and felt rather nervous, but the safety measures, how to attach to the zip wire etc is all explained and practised in a very effective way, making you feel much more confident by the time you're at any height. I also liked the way that in some sections you can choose a 'moderate' or 'extreme' route. Overall, I loved it! Thank you. Well worth the money.

    We had such a fun day here, and it's a stunning location. One safety erk was that my carabiner didn't close properly (very unsafe when jumping from heights). When I told the lady at the end, and passed her my harness so it could be fixed she said "ah we'll put some oil on it" but then threw it in the pile of other harnesses. I thought it was a bit odd it wasn't taken aside to be checked properly.

    Absolutely fantastic. We all really really enjoyed it. Staff are brilliant, very friendly and put you at ease. They run through all the safety bits you need to know and then go over them again so you do remember them. Great way to kill a good couple of hours even if it's wet.....just bring a coat AND spare clothes....you will be wet and muddy! If we are this way again, we will look to come again.

    A great family treat! We went out on the Segway Forest route. Was nice to do something different with the family. Excellent instruction from all the instructors. The segways were great fun! Would definitely recommend it for a new adventure. Will be back soon for the Treetop rope adventure. 👍

    Loved it. Did tall trees and sedgeways. Staff were absolutely fantastic. Saved the missus a couple of times in the trees but helped her gain confidence and power through to the end. Really really fantastic time even though we're in our 50's

    Absolutely brilliant, patient, enthusiastic staff. All equipment well maintained and tidy. We were a group ranging from 12 to 45 years old and was a fantastic experience. Go Ape even took multiple photos that they then emailed us for free. Will be going again.

    Me and my 11 year old lad had a fantastic afternoon at Go Ape, in Mallards Pike. The crew were brilliant and we wanted for nothing. Thanks guys, big thumbs up.

    Fantastic day out walking the trails. Great scenery and the weather was lovely. Reccomend this place. Has,a coffee shop and toilets

  • 5/5 Aidy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic! Would recommend to anybody, whether scared of heights or not. The staff make you feel very comfortable & give you full instructions to ensure you know what you're doing before you head off up into the trees. Once there, you have a range of crossings between trees, varying from balance logs & stirrups to hire wire & tarzan swings! Not forgetting the final zip wire descent down to ground level. Including the training station, there are 5 sections to complete, each with their own challenges. Some are more physical than others, but on the whole you don't need to be anything more than average fitness to do it (which is a bonus for the majority of us!). We went mid morning & it wasn't too busy, but the longer the day went on the more of a backlog there was. The staff managed this well though by allowing you to skip sections & loop back rather than wait in a constant queue. Just goes to show how popular it is though & that they listen to customers in an effort to improve their experience on the day. Ultimately, I would do it again & again & again! We're already looking at which one to do next. Final note, buy the gloves! We didn't & although we thought they wouldn't be needed, my hands were prettt sore by the end of it!

    Didnt do Go Ape but a Great place to go for a picnic and plenty of walking trails highly recommend

  • 4/5 Bethan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly, professional service. Pretty surroundings. The seaway experience was very pleasant, but not appropriate for anyone who has segwayed before as it is a little tame. Excellent for nervous first timers.

  • 5/5 Lee P. 2 years ago on Google
    We all loved it. Took about 2 and half hours to complete the course. Safety demonstration was good and they made sure you knew what you were doing before letting you loose on the course! The kids want to go again.

    We did the high ropes and Segway, both brilliant activities for both the adults and teens. Well organised and friendly staff. Lost a star because of lack of other activities for younger kids.
