GO APE: High wire adventure in Wyre forest

Take to the trees at Go Ape and experience an exhilarating course of rope bridges, Tarzan swings and zip slides.

Go Ape is a high-wire forest adventure. Once kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and karabiners you are let loose into the forest canopy. So, do you think you, your friends and family can handle three hours of tree-top adventure? Are you wild enough to climb 30 feet up a rope ladder, Tarzan swing into a giant rope net then zip wire through trees, crawl through tunnels and tackle hire wire rope bridges? If the answer is ‘yes’, you’re ready for Go Ape!

Can you Go Ape?
Are you over 10 years old? Are you taller than 1.40m/4ft 7in? Do you weigh less than 20.5kg?
