Home Education

Our Home Education Days are taking a short break — but don’t worry, they’ll be back in 2026! Home-educating families can enjoy a Go Ape day out by booking as part of a wider group visit. Whether you team up with other home-ed families or organise your own group , our Schools Team can help you build a day that fits your needs — from tree-top adventures to ground-based activities and forest learning sessions.

Such a fun experience!

Took two kids to Go Ape and we all absolutely loved it. It was way higher than I expected, but totally worth it for the views and the adrenaline rush. The kids had a blast and were buzzing the whole way through.

Always a great time doing Go Ape

I would always recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do with a school-age child to have a go.
