Axe throwing activity was just the best fun. Sarah, our instructor was so friendly, funny, and helpful. We did all 3 throws (right, left handed and two handed) and even managed to hit the board a few times. The games are fun and you can take photos of your achievements! Wear layers for the weather, we had a bit of light rain and needed coats, footwear - trainers/boots you don't mind getting a little muddy. Certificate and sticker awarded at the end if you don't want to get the medals package...we did, its got pride of place at home 😂

My husband and I received axe throwing as a gift, it definitely wouldn’t be our first choice of activity but we had a great time !. Our party host Richard was friendly, he was very thorough in his explanations of our safety procedures. We expected to be throwing axes for an hour which didn’t seem too much fun but there were several games to play which made the experience really fun, it amazing how competitive a grown up can get over a sticker !

Frequently Asked Questions

For the safety of both mother and child, Go Ape strongly recommends that pregnant women do not take part in our adventures.

Our adventures are robust physical activities involving climbing, balancing, and zipping, which naturally carry a degree of risk. While we don't want to be discriminatory, we are not medical experts.

We strongly encourage you to seek advice from your doctor before deciding to participate.

If, after consulting your doctor, you choose to proceed, we will require you to formally declare your pregnancy to a staff member and sign a specific disclaimer acknowledging that:

"I have made Go Ape aware that I am pregnant and, as a result, Go Ape has recommended that I do not take part on the course. However, I have decided to take part on the course in the full knowledge that this may incur risks to my unborn child."

We want you to have a safe and wonderful experience, so please prioritise medical advice when making this decision!

We have produced this handy guide on staying safe at Go Ape in hot weather. Please have a read through to prepare for your adventure.

Go Ape is an excellent wet weather activity. Our courses are substantially sheltered from rain and wind by the trees themselves so as long as you are appropriately dressed for the weather you should still have great memories of your experience. The course remains open in all weathers, except thick ice, thunderstorms and gales. Rain makes the course muddier than usual which can add to the fun, but you might want dry clothes to change into for the journey home.

If we have to close for unsafe weather conditions, we will offer you a refund, credit note or reschedule your booking. If unsafe weather is forecasted we will aim to make the decision as early as possible, and will do our best to contact you to try and save you a wasted journey.
