Cannock Chase Reviews

A great day out for anyone who likes high rope courses and nature. 🌿 A full afternoon out—it took us about 3 hours from start to finish, which I felt was value for money. Staff were well trained and very helpful throughout the activity.

We had such a brilliant time at Go Ape! The team were absolutely fantastic with my 6-year-old daughter — patient, encouraging, and full of energy. She was a little nervous to start, but their friendly approach really put her at ease and helped her feel confident navigating the course. It was great to see a setup that feels adventurous but safe, and the staff clearly knew how to engage children at the right level.

Fantastic experience taking our 8 and 11 year old on the treetop adventure plus. Staff were welcoming and friendly, thorough briefing before using the equipment, and off we went. Excellent time has by all, our lads went flying off and loved it all. Now they're asking to go again 😂👌
