October Half Term Activities

Day or night: never stop adventuring this half term

outdoor activities for kids this October half term

 

If you’re considering activities for half term, and a day out is on the agenda, then a day outdoors packed full of tree top fun at Go Ape is what you’re after.

There are over 30 Go Ape locations across the UK, and at each you’ll find a selection of half term activities, just waiting to fill your half term break with adventure.

With Sundown Adventures returning for a limited time, the fun continues after dark. Summer may be over, but as the forest enters its most splendorous season the excitement never stop!

 

Treetop Adventure

Minimum Participant Requirement: 1m tall

Great for all children but especially younger ones as this activity is available to anyone over 1m tall. Tackle tree-to-tree crossings on 2-3 different loops with a zip wire to bring you back down onto the forest floor at the end of each loop.

Minimum Participant Requirement: 6 years old & 1.2m tall

A step up from Treetop Adventure, so children need to be at least 1.2m and 6 years old to participate. Get ready and raring for more height, speed and wobble with this half term day out! Some Go Ape locations feature Treetop Adventure Plus as an extension to the Treetop Adventure experience, at others it's a standalone activity.
