We visited Go Ape last week and had a brilliant time! The staff were super friendly and approachable we had no problems asking for help or having a chat with them. Our instructor Reuben was brilliant, he made all the instructions really clear and easy to follow.

We visited Go Ape Buxton early one wet Friday. The weather wasn’t what had been forecast but the experience was better than expected! We had a great time and would definitely recommend as a fun activity for friends and family.
