Thetford Forest Reviews

Absolutely amazing experience, went with my friend and our 2 daughters aged 10 and 13 on the treetop challenge and had such a fantastic time! Wonderful staff who took their time with the setup and the “training sessions”, we spent about 2.5-3 hours on the course. Great setup and design, it’s quite challenging and high but should be suitable for most “active kids”. We will definitely come again, highly recommended!!

Booked our adventure here for a birthday and had a really good experience! We were greeted by Phil at the desk who was really friendly and made us feel very welcomed whilst checking us in. Our instructor was Olly who helped us set up and made the safety briefing really clear. The course itself was really fun and well laid out! Olly was there throughout our session to give tips and encouragement along the way. Overall the course was great and the friendly staff make this experience so much better! Thank you for a great time!

The Challenge Plus experience at Thetford Go Ape is absolutely fantastic! Everything from booking to arrival to completing the course was brilliant and definitely value for money! The team at Go Ape were really friendly, welcoming and helpful with all the aspects of the experience, the course itself lives up to its name with a great variety of obstacles and challenges to overcome - I’d highly recommend a pair of gloves as you’re grabbing onto rope and wires for 3hrs straight.
