Salcey Forest Reviews

Amazing day with lovely polite staff that made the time more enjoyable and cared for. They helped when needed and gave space for us to enjoy. Our kids had the best time and great value for money

Had a great time here, really fun experience. Friendly staff, relaxed pace, an absolute must! Easy parking, great setting. Love how you pay for 60/90 minutes and the session starts at your time but they don’t start your 60/90 minutes until after you’ve been harnessed up and safety briefed so the time you pay for you get having fun, amazing. Definitely going back with our youngest now I know how good it is. Thanks GoApe!

We all had a great day especially my 7 year old son. From start to finish, ALL of the staff were friendly and helpful. The courses were great and varied! Belle was brilliant. We will definitely be back.
