There is a cafe on site located by the visitors center and main play ground, serving both hot and cold food as well as scoop ice creams. The visitors center also sells small items related to the forest activites.
There are baby changing facilities in the toilets at the main hub area and also accessible toilets.
A lot of the forest trails are pushchair and wheelchair accessible. There are also mobility scooters available to hire from the visitor centre, this is all run by Forestry England. Some areas around the course are difficult with a pushchair or wheelchair, but we can advise on site the best routes to take. If you have any specific accessibility requirements please contact us ahead of your visit so we can help.
Yes, Alice Holt Forest carpark can hold around 400 cars and an over flow carpark can hold roughly 100. Payment is by card at the pay stations located close the visitor centre or at the barriers on the way out. During busy periods the carpark can be full between the hours of 11am and 3pm, so we recommend arriving with plenty of time before your booking.
We can look after smaller belongings such as coats and small bags in the cabin but these are left at your own risk. If you drive to us, we recommend larger items are left in your car as our cabin doesn't have a lot of storage room.
The nearest toilets are in the main forest hub by the visitor centre and the cafe, roughly a 2-minute walk from the cabin and a 1-minute walk from the activity centre.
Go Ape Alice Holt is located 5 miles south of Farnham town centre on the A325 towards Bordon. There are signs before the turning from both directions. We run our tree top activities from the far side of the carpark, and we run our Bikes and Nets from the activity centre which is located just the other side of the visitor centre and cafe.
Start in the middle of the main car park, walk under the visitor centre and customer toilets, then continue straight ahead and you’ll find the Nets & Bike Hire area on the far left.
Head to the back of the main car park and follow the Go Ape signs to the check-in cabin for all tree tops activities.
