Super Day Out with Something for Everyone.

There is something for the whole family at Alice Holt. Whether you’re wanting to ‘monkey around’ in cool adventure playgrounds, ride through the forest on the great bike trails or enjoy our ‘classic’ Tree Top Adventure, you’ll have a wonderful day out.

Alice Holt is home to our original Go Ape experience. We’ll brief you for safety before you fly down our zip-wires, leap off our Tarzan Swing and tackle our obstacles whilst enjoying some breathtaking scenery.

And not just that. You will be just an arrows flight from where the opening scenes of the Gladiator were filmed.

Excellent zip wires, loved the stirrup crossing - really tricky! Wish the course could be even longer.

Very good day out. Very helpful booking process (telephone). Staff helpful, friendly, clear safety briefing. Course was good fun. My son felt that the 3rd section (which was the hardest) should have been swapped with the 5th. I felt the experience was very expensive & the cost factor makes me hesitate to come back.

This was a booking for my daughters 13 birthday party with 6 of her friends.. And they had a fantastic time,nervous but they loved it can not fault the help they got from staff before starting course and also while doing it... My daughter is wanting to do it again as her words were "omg the best time i've ever had and best party" Thank you so much as just what a parent wants to her.

We had a great afternoon - pace was slow as was driven by younger team in front of us, but just chilled out and enjoyed the day.
