What climbers say again and again
“I went with family and some of them were from out of town that experienced this for the first time.”
“The staff was incredibly kind and patient, helping my 6 year old gain confidence and feel comfortable.”
From the reviews
We participated with a group, but the company suggested making reservations in advance if you plan to go. I saw several people show up without reservations and it seemed to be easy to get going. The staff did a good job handling a large group and families or small groups.
Well planned and created tree adventures everyone in the family. Total worth for every dollar spent. Friendly staff, no frills or unnecessary marketing etc. just pure adventure and fun.
It was amazing!!! I loved the Tree top journey. I booked the tickets in advance online reservation as I arrived they recommend you gloves for safely from the ropes. The employees there were super nice, precautious, and very helpful as they guided you through instructions.
We visited Go Ape last month with our two kids, ages 4 and 6. The weather was very cold that day, and our 4-year-old is usually quite timid, but the staff never showed any impatience. They were incredibly kind, encouraging, and very patient with the children throughout the experience.
