Southampton Reviews

We tried axe throwing as an extended family treat. It was awesome! Super good fun, fab instructor and brilliantly organized set of games. Really excellent value for money and we'll definitely be returning. Thanks so much Team Go Ape!

Had such an amazing time at GoApe Southampton with my partner! It was honestly one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve ever had and helped me fear heights way less. The view from the top of the trees was absolutely stunning and made it all so worth it. Hayley, our instructor, was honestly the best — she was so lovely and made me feel really safe and at ease the whole way through. Couldn’t recommend it enough if you’re up for a bit of adventure and a lot of fun!

My daughter loved it! She was a bit nervous at the start but ended up completing the whole course, all levels. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location is beautiful, and the good weather made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be going back!
