Customer service terrific

Customer service was horrid , we were on the zip line and the rude worker kicked us of for no exact reason .he asked for a supervisor then we could go on and then we presented a supervisor and he still did not let us on . Horrible service will never come again .

Thanks for joining us in Battersea Park Hossam and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd love to hear more from you to see where we went wrong. If you could send us an email to questions@goape.co.uk along with your booking reference we'd be incredibly grateful.

Very bad experience

Very bad experience. We booked during a short trip to London, only to find out on arrival that my child was slightly under the height limit. Despite this, no refund was offered. While I understand the need for clear policies, a bit more flexibility and customer care in situations like this would be appreciated—especially for visitors who can’t reschedule. I would recommend being very careful before booking. Avoid this place, they will steal your money

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback Pierre. We are sorry to hear that your visit didn't go as planned and that your child was unable to participate due to the height requirements. We understand how disappointing this is, especially when you are visiting London for a short time and cannot easily return. We do our best to ensure every visitor is aware of these requirements before they arrive. To help prevent these situations, we include both supervision requirements and participation restrictions throughout the booking process on our website. This includes specific height and age limits that must be acknowledged before a purchase is completed. We appreciate your valuable feedback via email and are pleased to see that our Customer Care Team were able to resolve this with a gesture of goodwill.

I was not impressed with the customer service

I was not impressed with the organisation of the event and some of the staff at Go Ape Battersea. I took three 12 year olds for a session at 4pm. We were told to wait in an area off to the side and waited until after 4 for them to be seen. Even though we arrived early. Then I saw they had written 4:15 on our bands. We had come from Surrey to Battersea and were on a tight deadline. One person started the harness fittings and wandered off, another person came to continue then they wandered off. Finally a third person came and finished off the fastening. They left us waiting at areas with little or no instruction when we didn’t need to wait. I asked how long the event was and the lady said we don’t close until it’s dark. At one point I asked a member of staff for help and he said wait a minute. He talked to someone on his walkie talkie then completely ignored me. The kids were having a good time until we were told that was it, but there were still 2 loops left! After that the kids got behind a small girl who could hardly reach the line to get her carabina clip on! It’s like they didn’t even measure her. This caused a 30 minute delay getting across one line! They need staff to have exact roles and have more available to show you where to go next. We went to Battersea as the course was higher but after this I will only go back to the Chessington branch again where the staff were more friendly and helpful.

A great experience for the whole family

Had a wonderful afternoon with the team at Go Ape Battersea Park. The Staff were very courteous, professional and did a great job of running through the safety guidelines. There are numerous rope courses, catering to all ages and abilities. Kids had a great time - but the highlight was easily the zip lines. Great fun!

Booked for a family day out

Booked for a family day out. Had to cancel due to son not meeting criteria for the activity, asked for a refund they refused and said I can have a gift voucher, useless as my son doesn't meet the criteria so how can I redeem it? £140 WASTED because they refuse to give a refund. I booked 6 hours previous to ringing them and they still wouldn't refund. I am not happy this is not good customer service. Place must be that bad that it has to trap ppl in to using the services. No cancellation policy never heard of such sh#t in all my life 😕

Thanks for booking a day out with us Jake and for taking the time to share your experience. We try to be as transparent as possible on our website and do include participation restrictions for each of our outdoor experiences to help customers prior to booking. This will include height and age restrictions for each activity. Our booking terms and conditions state that within 48 hours of your activity date, if Go Ape are operational, you will not be entitled to move your booking, or receive any refunds for cancellations. As a gesture of goodwill our team have provided you with gift vouchers so that £140 isn't wasted and you don't miss out on an adventure with us. We hope you are able to put them to good use.

Great day out at GoApe Battersea

We had a great day out at GoApe Battersea. We signed up for the Treetop challenge which everyone in our group loved. I enjoyed the first course but didn’t realise how physical the second course was and ran out of upper body strength to continue. A fantastic guide named Connor came to my rescue and helped me get to the end. He was so encouraging and nothing was too much trouble. As I got to the bottom a few other guides also checked in to ensure I was okay. Really impressed with the great service and felt safe throughout the whole experience.

This is my second visit to Go Ape

This is my second visit to Go Ape, we also decided we try a new location and Battersea Park it was, plus it was my Daughters 14th Birthday 🥳.
Our overall experience was 10 out of 10 from the beginning till the end.
Staff was absolutely amazing so friendly, so engaging, so helpful. The way we were greeted at the check outs by such a lovely lady, unfortunately didn’t ask her name, she gave my daughter a Birthday sticker so thank you for making it so special for both of us, but we do remember Edward who explained and demonstrate so beautifully everything we needed to do and know while we up in the air climbing.
Thank you guys so much for making such a fun , memorable day and Yess we will be coming back again !!!

Thanks for celebrating with us in the trees again Marcela and for hanging out with us at Battersea Park. We're thrilled to hear you had a 10/10 experience and our team looked after you all.

Thanks for taking the time to review us and hopefully see you both again very soon. We highly recommend Go Ape Cockfosters if you're looking for something a little different. Welcome to our Tribe.
