Chelmsford Reviews

First time at Chelmsford for Go Ape. Done it previously at Thetford and loved it. This time it was daughter going through loop ,3,4 and 5. She loved it. Good crowd of enthusiasts on the day and the team was very good on site. Thanks for a good experience. Will do it again for sure.

We had the best experience at Go Ape during the summer holidays. The activities were perfect for my 7 year old nephew and challenging enough without being too scary. The staff were approachable, supportive and friendly. Their communication was spot on. Abbie on the zip line made our day, remembering my nephew’s name and interacting with us even when the platform was busy. He even asked about her when we left! A really great experience. Thank you!

My daughter absolutely loves Go Ape in Chelmsford! The place is in a lovely, quiet area with parking right next to it. The staff are very friendly and make children feel comfortable and confident. They’re also very dog-friendly — they always greet my dog and offer him water. We have an unlimited pass, and it’s definitely worth it. A great adventure for kids, with lots of exercise and being outdoors!
