Took my 6 year old son to Leeds castle Go Ape on the 5th of August. We had a wonderful time everyone was really helpful and nice. In particular an instructor called Ally who helped my son overcome his fear of going up to the next level onto the adventure+. Thanks.

We had a great experience at go ape at Leeds castle today. The family loved it especially the zip wires. I must give Troy a shout out, he was great with his briefing on how to go around the tree too challenge, but came to the rescue of a participant who got stuck on the large Zip wire. He made his way out to the gentleman, attached him to him for safety and then spent 30 mins getting the man back to safety.he was absolutely amazing and to watch him get the man back to safety was amazing to watch. Well done Troy!

What a fantastic day, The website was very easy to use, the travel instructions lead us straight there without any fuss. Once there my girls were in their element not phased at all by the heights, i did not fare so well. But thanks to the amazing staff at Leeds castle Go Ape, Jarred and Anne who kept an eye on me the whole way and even gave me a hug when i cried after completing the Zip wire. I could not fault the staff they were wonderful and I would definitely go again even though i'm petrified of heights. well worth the money

Great fun for all the family and very safe. The staff fully explain how the safety systems work to make sure you remain safe around the course, which is different between the junior and adult courses. The junior course has a safety system where you follow the wire for the entire course and the staff connect you up - perfect as it means you don't have to worry about keeping a constant watch that your children are doing it right. The adult course requires a more hands on approach as you have to keep moving from one safety wire to the next, which allows you to choose between different difficulty options - but you have two lines and must always have one connected so you're not at risk of falling. The courses vary and offer a range of activities. The junior course has two courses and you get to choose which one to go one each time you go round - they operate a time limit here so you can go round as many times as you like in an hour. The adult course is split into 5 stages, with the first being the training section where you're fully supervised. The staff are really friendly and guide you through the process to make sure you remain safe but also enjoy your time. Highly recommended for a trip out for family, friends or even a work team building exercise.
