We went to Go Ape at Moors Valley Park and the young staff members were excellent - full of enthusiasm and really friendly and helpful. We paid for an hour but were there over 2!

GREAT EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH!

GREAT EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH!
The staff/Instructors were friendly and helpful all way through. Always someone around to help if needed. Great course for all different abilities.
Easy to find, loads of parking, beautiful setting around Leeds castle.
Defo will book again.

Poor Segway experience

We visited Crawley go ape for the segway experience. Honestly, look and think hard on this before parting with your money. Yes it’s instructor led and there’s one very small opportunity to do a track without the instructor leading, however just before reaching this part and being released, the instructor pulled the slowest people to the front!! She said it was because she didn’t want them getting lost.
I don’t know if that is normal practice, but we felt it was a deliberate move to prevent anyone actually being able to gain any speed. I have put in a complaint about this but the response wasn’t really valid as it went on about protecting other park users however the tracks used were further in the woods and obviously if people were around, you would naturally have the sense to slow down. Our daughters have attended various other places doing segways are we’re shocked when we told them how over controlled this activity was. If all you want is an hour training, then this would be the place to go but, if you want a bit of fun and freedom, go elsewhere you won’t get that here.
We would certainly NOT RECOMMEND this experience as value for money or enjoyable.
In future we will travel a bit further for a better experience elsewhere.
Extremely disappointing 😒

Thanks for joining us in Tilgate Park Hazel and for taking the time to share your experience. We also appreciate your email sent on 31 August with further feedback.

Complaints of this nature are rare so we're equally disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy our all-terrain Forest Segways. We're sorry to hear that you were left shocked on the day to find out that it's an instructor led activity.

We do try to be as transparent as possible on our website when marketing each of our activities however completely take on board your points. We do include videos of the activity which showcase the experience to give people a flavour of what to expect.

As explained in our email back to you reference slower participants, this is done so that they can be within a closer range of our instructors to provide additional support. In addition it helps them build and develop their confidence. For smaller sized groups, slower participants are also kept towards the front, as ultimately if faster participants were put towards the front, then the group may need to stop at intervals for the slower participants to re-join.

At Go Ape, we believe that every customer should have a great time and we are always grateful for all feedback from customers to help us improve the experience. We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations on this occasion.

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 !!!

Poor customer service

Poor customer service. Their website was down. They asked to call in over email. By the time we reached the service centre 40 minutes later, every slot was gone. We had to take a location with 30 min extra driving. Adding insult to injury, their customer service agent Nick had no sympathy and charged us an extra booking fee, because we had to book over the phone.

So untrue the toilets was digusting and clearly graining in dirt that’s clearly bedded in also you should train your staff before dealing with the public

We visited go ape in battersea park , the staff are rude with no customers services , this may be to do with the age , there was only 2 staff that was friendly , the toilets was shocking , disgusting , you can tell it hasn’t been washed or cleaned for a long time by the state of the skirtings , I wouldn’t put my dog in these toilets , totally disgusting to the point I nearly vommited . There was no toilet paper any where in sight ,I even took pics of the rotten toilets because I was so shocked and disgusted . I even heard a member of staff raise his voice to a customer .

Thanks for joining us at Battersea Park Lorraine and for taking the time to share your experience. At Go Ape, we expect our instructors to be friendly and courteous at all times, whilst appreciating and assisting the needs of each customer. We are somewhat disappointed to hear that you were not treated in this manner. Please be assured that this matter will be addressed with the staff involved and more training will be given in this area.

Regarding the toilets, we can only apologise for the condition of them when you visited. These toilets are usually cleaned regularly and also given a deep clean at the end of each day. During busier periods and with the number of visitors the park receives they can be used excessively.

We had a great experience at go ape at Leeds castle today. The family loved it especially the zip wires. I must give Troy a shout out, he was great with his briefing on how to go around the tree too challenge, but came to the rescue of a participant who got stuck on the large Zip wire. He made his way out to the gentleman, attached him to him for safety and then spent 30 mins getting the man back to safety.he was absolutely amazing and to watch him get the man back to safety was amazing to watch. Well done Troy!

Pay more to get what you really want.

We took kids to Sherwood Pines for Treetop Adventure. It was brilliant but way too short. If you ever think about going, pay a little bit more for Treetop Adventure Plus. It looks more interesting, challenging and consist of more than 4 walks between the trees.

Running Stop was hard to grasp and obstacles were heavily upper body instead of all body.

We went to the Williamsburg one and the staff were amazing, but the course didn't seem very beginner/intermediate friendly. They didn't teach us to slow down on the zip lines using gloves (which is what I’ve experienced on previous zip line courses), rather they taught us to do this running stop by matching the speed that we were at and using our legs to slow down. It worked perfectly on the training one (about 20ft) and I landed it pretty easily along with everyone else and the instructor said we were good to go; however, the next zipline (probably around 150ft), this technique did not fare well for me or anyone else behind me because the difference in size really amped up the speed and I feel they didn't really ease us in per say with slowly making zip-lines longer so we could get the hang of it. A lot of us unfortunately hit pretty hard, with one women hitting her head really hard as well since this was now the second time performing this stop for most of us. Also, a lot of the obstacles are a lot more upper body than all-body, so when signing up for Go Ape for others I would keep that in mind. Overall, the staff were super welcoming and friendly, but I feel the course could be improved for those just learning the running stop because all of the other zipline courses I’ve been on use the glove stop.

Thanks for joining us at Freedom Park McKenzie and for taking the time to share your experience. We're thrilled to hear our team were amazing and looked after you all. These guys are the heartbeat to Go Ape. Zip line lengths are determined by the trees and the landscape. Everyone receives a safety brief with instructions on how to land - whether that be forwards, sideways or backwards. Customers also get to see a demonstration from one of our instructors as well as practicing that technique before moving on to the rest of the course. You will only move on once the instructor has deemed each individual competent. We advise to wear gloves as they make travelling around the course more comfortable especially when climbing rope ladders. They are not for slowing yourself down on the Zip Lines. Customers must always keep their hands away from the cables and metal work when moving at speed. Go Ape courses are good fun and suitable for the whole family but you’re right, some crossings are quite hard work. You can sit and rest in your harness at any point to get your breath back. You also come back down to the ground at the end of each Zip Line where you can grab a drink and get ready for the next challenge. We don’t like to make it too easy otherwise you wouldn’t achieve anything. Well done for smashing it and welcome to the Tribe.

GoApe at Alexandra Palace

We visited the GoApe at Alexandra Palace and the team there made our experience a memorable. The team, ably led by Tom were professional, friendly and very patience with our group. Max was an excellent trainer and supervisor and Fraser was outstanding in supporting our group on the more challenging obstacles. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed!
