    Great go ape. Visited on a Saturday, first day on half term and was not busy at all. Probably because it rained for a few days before hand. The grounds are pretty big and it felt like all the people had enough space to spread out. The adventure and adventure+ paths are enjoyable for kids and adults. Challenge route is indeed challenging and is a little more athletic. Axe throwing is a highlight. Kids playground is big and has lots of things to do. Lots of parking on site. Would come back if in the area.

    A perfect place for adventurers. Good for ages 4-65. Zip lines are the highlight. Great day out set in amazing forest environment. Pack a lunch and get a pic-nic too. Tried axe throwing for the first time. Well worth it if you have never done before, go in a group for added fun!

    First time taking both my 7 and 8 YO boy and girl together (although my 3rd time of taking part). Awesome opportunity for your little ones to build confidence and building blocks for future life skills. Two loops on the kids course - gentle one to build confidence, then a harder one. Both end in the zip line. Go round as many times as you can in an hour (probably 3 times on a busy day, 4 on a quiet day). Great team running the place. Lovely Forest. Lovely play area Lovely café. What's not to like?!?!?

    We attended Sunday morning for my sons birthday present. We were signed in and welcomed by the very friendly team at main reception and directed across for our safety brief. The safety team harnessed us up and took us through the lower level training area to confirm our suitability for the big stuff. We were off and the boys absolutely loved it. There were staff at various points to help with zip wires etc both other than that we were in control and not pressured in any way. With the cafe, car parking and children's play area at the lookout centre nearby it was a brilliant day out.

    I recently visited Go Ape with my family where we took part in Segwaying & Axe Throwing. - We all had the best time! Our instructors Emma & Bertie were amazing, they made sure we felt confident and safe on the Segways but also made sure we had loads of fun! Bertie even shared some interesting facts as we went round the woods! The other instructors that we saw around the course were also all really friendly and approachable! I recommend visiting the Bracknell Go Ape! We will definitely be back again soon!

    Fun way to spend 3 - 4 hours.. did the tree top challenge and its was fun.. had to pick bark out my pants from being rubbish at zip lines but that's part of the experience.. kids were like monkeys going tree to tree.. they loved it.. 12yo, 14yo and 15 yo

    Did the Tree Top Challenge on my Birthday! Was good fun! My fifth GoApe so far. Instructors were really good at the briefing. The course was quite challenging. Would recommend! A+++

    Got to love Go Ape and the Bracknell one is well managed and looked after. Plenty of easy parking though there is a charge (you can pay by card) (3 hours for £3.40, All day for £6.80). Went to the axe throwing and it is right near the cabin at the starting point. Well managed training, staff are friendly and professional. We pre-booked (also recommend using the Virgin experience days and gift card vouchers to get the most value). Facilities (free toilets near by and water in a jug available, though best to bring your own). The place is also great for general hiking, cycling, large park, picnic and exploring the Forrest. Highly recommend for great family and friends activities (for all ages).

    Great fun and fantastic for all ages. Was a group of adults with a few teenagers and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We did the tree top challenge which is the 1 I recommend out of the 2. I liked how they had different levels of difficulties on the same route. So you could pick the easier or harder route but the group was together. So some took each route. It's a lovely setting in the forest of swinley l. The staff were helpful and friendly. Great day out.

  • 5/5 Lee W. 2 years ago on Google
    The kids loved it despite the cold weather. Staff at the ticket office and the instructors on the floor and up top where very friendly. My Son was very nervous and one of the instructors took him aside and managed to reassure him. I'm sure we will be back 😀👍🏻

  • 5/5 Nebu M. 9 months ago on Google
    Good place. Lots of places for kids to explore and enjoy the nature. Good and lots of place to park but paid parking. Accept card and coins . Can use parking apps as well.

  • 5/5 Billal A. 11 months ago on Google
    Super fun day out for the kids, very friendly & helpful staff members. Perfect location and plenty of things to do even have picnic tables. Only watch out is the car park gets very busy so car share is the best option.

  • 5/5 sammie k. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved my experience! The staff here are very well trained and professional, safety was not a concern at all. A variety of high ropes courses (and other activites) available for adults and kids alike, facilities like toilets were available! Parking was not expensive and located nearby. Recommend for a casual fun day out!

    Our team of 6 did an hours Axe throwing at Bracknell Go Ape. There is also a Cafe on-site which sold drinks and snacks. You do need to pay for parking so car share if you can. (3 hours for £3.40, All day for £6.80 - payable by car so no need to carry change!). We had a great time Axe Throwing, the safety briefing was short and concise and the demo was good to get us newbies started! There was plenty of game to play in teams which added to the fun and competition - we all improved over the hour! We al had a great time and highly recommend Go Ape. The woodland it is in is also beautiful and we really must go back there to enjoy it sometime!

    Great fun ,exciting and exhilarating, our training coach ( HARRY ) was great fun 👍 would recommend for a family day out or team building. 5stars from me

    Came here on a spur of the moment visit with my 7 year old and wife (spectating). The staff were brilliant and I would really like to show my appreciation to Charlie and Sean, Charlie got us kitted out and put us on the instruction brief and also checked in with us at the end. My daughter and I had a great time and we completed the Tree Top Adventure and Tree Top Adventure +, my daughter has only just turned 7 and had never done anything like this before so it’s incredible to think she was doing what we were unaided at 30ft. On the second to last course she did hesitate and spooked herself but this was testing and moves a lot on individual platforms swinging forwards and backwards and left and right. She panicked right in the middle of the section and I had to go out to her to guide and calm her. All the while Sean just acutely observed her and my behaviour, just keeping a watchful eye. He didn’t say anything until she had finished and told her she did great and offered loads of reassurance. This was the best way to have dealt with it in my view. I am very grateful to Sean for this. He also offered to take a family photo at the end which was kind of him too. A great time was had, I recommend taking or buying gloves and also I would book in advance to save any potential for disappointment.

    Been here a few times to do the treetop challenge with my children. We always have fun. Staff are super friendly. On our last trip, one particular staff girl was checking up on people at regular intervals and generally making sure everyone is having a good time.

  • 4/5 Sarah V. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought the Forest Segway as a gift and it was fantastic! They thoroughly enjoyed it. Instructors were friendly and helpful

  • 5/5 Karen O. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun afternoon out! Really liked that children age 6 - 14 could complete the treetop+ route without an adult in the trees 🙌

  • 5/5 Mathew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent fun and well organised. Instructors were particularly good. Great activity to do on a hot day as the trees provide lots of cool shade.

  • 5/5 Manoj B. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff were helpful and informative and made the children feel welcomed. This was great fun for the children and they thoroughly enjoyed going around the various narrow platforms and loved the zip wire..

  • 5/5 Kumar R. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a very nice place to spend time and refresh. You can feel nature, enjoy a good walk, and do cycling. There are so many activities for kids too.

  • 5/5 Derek W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fun on the Treetop Challenge, which was tougher than we thought! The whole track took us 2 hours to finish, and listed as 2-3 hours on the website. Safety briefings are given prior, however once you start making your way it's very important to pay attention and use the safety harness properly. Lots of refreshments and facilities on site and ample parking.

  • 5/5 Malcolm 2 years ago on Google
    Good instructors, our 4 teenagers really enjoyed themselves. Great experience but allow the full 3 hours.

  • 5/5 Nicci T. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant! Exhausting but exhilarating fun! Not for the feint hearted or if you're scared of heights...you're seriously high up. Safely secured at all times but the platforms are tiny 🙈

  • 5/5 Natsu A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing mini adventure for all! Conquered my fear of heights!! 😅loved it! Point to note. Take a pair of gloves!

  • 5/5 Julie T. 2 years ago on Google
    We've done lots of Go Ape locations, but we thought this one was particularly good. Easy to book and fill out paperwork online, easy to park and check in. Attentive, friendly staff who looked after the beginners and the super confident. Our daughter was in the latter category and a staff member allowed her onto the plus course without needing the second loop, and had spotted a good gap for her to really crack on at her speed and enjoy not having to wait. She got so much air time in today and really loved it. The staff were encouraging and helping climbers really proactively, plus entertaining younger siblings on the ground at times, too. Definitely approachable and child-orientated. We'd definitely come again if in the area. Daughter just wishes she was 10 already to do the next course as she's definitely ready, more than tall enough, but just not old enough!

  • 5/5 Guess W. 2 years ago on Google
    Good time with the lads . Nice view . More aimed at kids than adults . Be warned you will hear and see JETS as in army jets flying over They also charge for parking aswell Nice to have a ride around the woods and the zip lines was the highlight of the moment . Massive car park Cafe prices aren’t too bad but could do with %15 reduction in prices

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 2 years ago on Google
    I completed the tree top challenge with 2x 15 year olds. All the staff we encountered were excellent. The safety briefing delivered by Emma was very clear and she ensured everyone understood prior to letting us go. The equipment and obstacles were in excellent condition and we successfully navigated our way around. Took 3 hours...you have to pay for parking...there are other activities on site- dog walks/ bike routes/ cafe if you have people in your group who don't want to participate in Go Ape. Would recommend and hopefully will return soon.

  • 5/5 Matteo T. 2 years ago on Google
    I had really fun times here with friends! I've done similar tree rope courses in the past and this was on par for safety and difficulty. I would highly recommend this and the best thing is that the price isn't even that bad!

  • 5/5 Tyron F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very well organised and run. All the staff were very friendly. My 6 and 4 yr old both had a blast on the Treetop Adventure and then in the playground afterwards. Would totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Megan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here with a hen party (9/10/21). Really food fun. Our trainer was great. Super friendly and took all the jokes in very good humour. Once trained we went around and done all the bits by ourselves. So it was nice we were able to go do our own thing.
