Leeds Castle Reviews

The staff are totally amazing I honestly couldn’t believe how good they are with the kids and extra helpful with the kids were a little bit nervous. The kids loved it and we will definitely return

Booked a birthday party for my 10 year old here recently, and she had the best day ever. The staff are so friendly and assuring, helped keep our belongings safe in the cabin (mostly food we brought for after the activity), and the courses were fantastic. We were lucky to have fab weather that day, the activity kept them occupied for roughly 1.5 hours over 3 courses, getting harder at every course. Some tears but the kids loved it! The shelter is just by the cabin. We only occupied less than half of it with 17 of us. Nice little hut with tables and benches. 100% recommend!

We had a great day out! Go Ape staff were fantastic. Made us feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. Our instructor Megan was brilliant. Had an absolute blast swinging through the trees! Would definitely go again!
