Winter strips adventure back to its essentials. Fewer crowds. Quieter forests. A sharper focus as you step off the platform and trust yourself.

When the leaves have fallen from the trees, views open up across the forest. The air feels fresher. The sense of accomplishment hits harder. It’s a proper escape — not just from screens and schedules, but from the predictable.

Winter is a more seasonal experience, so a little planning goes a long way.

• Not all Go Ape locations are open until 7th February
• Open locations typically operate at weekends
• Extended opening often applies during school holidays

Because availability is limited at this time of year, booking in advance is strongly recommended. Always check your chosen location’s opening days and session times before travelling — especially if you’re visiting with family or friends.

Go Ape runs in most weather conditions, including rain and cold. In fact, winter adventures often become the ones people remember most. There’s something deeply satisfying about finishing a course knowing you pushed through when conditions were tougher.

For safety reasons, sessions may pause or close during:

• Thunder or lightning
• High winds
• Frozen landing sites, where icy conditions make safe descents or landings difficult

If conditions aren’t suitable, our teams will always guide you through your options.

Winter adventures ask a little more of you — and give more back in return.

• You warm up quickly once you’re moving
• You stay focused, present, and in the moment
• You finish with a stronger sense of achievement

Escaping the ordinary sometimes means getting a little muddy, after all you can't wait for perfect weather. It’s about choosing adventure anyway — and winter makes that choice feel more meaningful.

A few simple choices make all the difference:

• Layers you can move in
• Gloves with grip
• Sturdy footwear you don’t mind getting muddy

Once you’re up in the tree tops, the cold fades fast — replaced by adrenaline, laughter, and concentration.

There’s a reason winter adventures stick with you. Cold hands. rosy cheeks. A buzz of adrenaline — followed by that first sip of a hot chocolate once you’re back on solid ground.

Trust us: it tastes better when you’ve earned it.

Winter availability varies by location, so the best next step is to find the site closest to you and check opening dates before you go.

Find your nearest Go Ape location, see when it’s open this winter, and book your adventure in advance — the forest is waiting.
