Cockfosters Reviews

We had an incredible day!! 6 friends in our own wee group- Paula was the best instructor. She made the ‘training’ a lot of fun, was always around the course to give us encouragement when we (I) got a bit scared. Would highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back for Challenge Plus!!!

We had the most amazing time at Go Ape and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the whole experience was smooth, professional, and fun. The staff greeted us warmly and were super helpful throughout the entire visit. They took safety seriously, walking us through every detail in a clear and friendly way which definitely helped settle a few nerves in the group.

Great time at Go Ape Cockfosters with my 12 year old son. Florian was a superb instructor & after the tuition we both felt confident to take on the treetop challenge course. The course itself was very good, 5 separate courses each ending on a zip wire & each getting harder & higher up into the treetops!
