Treetop Adventure

For the safety of both mother and child, Go Ape strongly recommends that pregnant women do not take part in our adventures.

Our adventures are robust physical activities involving climbing, balancing, and zipping, which naturally carry a degree of risk. While we don't want to be discriminatory, we are not medical experts.

We strongly encourage you to seek advice from your doctor before deciding to participate.

If, after consulting your doctor, you choose to proceed, we will require you to formally declare your pregnancy to a staff member and sign a specific disclaimer acknowledging that:

"I have made Go Ape aware that I am pregnant and, as a result, Go Ape has recommended that I do not take part on the course. However, I have decided to take part on the course in the full knowledge that this may incur risks to my unborn child."

We want you to have a safe and wonderful experience, so please prioritise medical advice when making this decision!

Due to the nature of our treetop activities, we strongly recommend that pockets must be emptied to prevent the risk of dropping any personal belongings while on the course. Some courses are built over a mixture of vegetation, streams, and in some locations even lakes and ponds. There is therefore a risk of personal loss if items are dropped into areas that cannot safely be reached by foot.

Adults (18+) can simultaneously supervise children participating in Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus from the ground.

Adults (18+) cannot simultaneously supervise children participating in Treetop Challenge and other high ropes activities such as Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus.

Adults participating in an activity may only supervise children on the same activity.

Please make sure that there are enough adults (18+) in your group to supervise the children (under 16 years) you have booked for, meeting the supervision requirements for your activity. This includes adults participating in some instances, and they also require a ticket.

Bumbags and backpacks aren't permitted on the course as they may increase your risk of injury or get in the way of your harness. A lanyard and phone pouch can be purchased online at the time of booking or on the day from the Go Ape cabin (subject to availability). If you need to carry any medication with you, please let a member of staff know who will be able to provide you with a pouch which can be attached to your harness.

We recommend that non-essential items and bags are left somewhere safe such as in your car. Small items such as car keys can be left in the Go Ape cabin.

Absolutely! Spectators are more than welcome to come along and watch the action from the ground. Most of our courses are set in open woodland, with walking trails and viewing areas, so friends and family can follow along and cheer you on from below.

The only adventure with restrictions is Woburn Safari Park, which allows just one onlooker free of charge (additional spectators can be added to your booking at Woburn for an additional fee).

Go Ape designs its adventures to be as accessible as possible. Our high ropes courses require a degree of physical fitness but if you can climb up a rope ladder you will be fine. Our Forest Segways require you to stand for an hour on a moving platform and require similar energy as riding a bicycle. Nets courses have a lot of bounce and therefore require similar energy to a bouncy castle.

A supervising adult will only need a ticket if they are participating in the activity.

Some of our activities do require adult supervision in the tree tops. Depending on the age of the children you are supervising, it is possible to supervise from the ground if you prefer. We recommend participating with your children so you can enjoy your adventure together, especially if it's their first time or they are feeling a little nervous.

Supervision requirements can be found on the location and activity pages of the website.

Yes, our harnesses do have specific safety limits based on waist and leg measurements. We want all of our customers to feel secure and comfortable. If you are concerned about harness fit, we warmly invite you to visit the site before your booking date. Our team will be happy to let you try one on privately and will handle your enquiry with complete sensitivity and discretion. Please just check your local site is open before travelling. More information on harness sizing can be found here.

You can book your party via the "book now" function on our website as you would with a regular booking. You will get the option to add party bags before you get to the checkout. To add a forest shelter, please call our booking line team at 01603 895500 or email us at [email protected].

Participants for both activities will have will have one hour in the tree tops except for those that choose the 90-minute option at selected locations. Please allow an additional 30-60 minutes for the complete experience which will include check-in, harnessing and safety briefing.

Under 6's must have a supervising adult up on the course with them. We also recommend children under 1.2m tall have an adult with them on the course in case they need any help.

We have produced this handy guide on staying safe at Go Ape in hot weather. Please have a read through to prepare for your adventure.

Go Ape is an excellent wet weather activity. Our courses are substantially sheltered from rain and wind by the trees themselves so as long as you are appropriately dressed for the weather you should still have great memories of your experience. The course remains open in all weathers, except thick ice, thunderstorms and gales. Rain makes the course muddier than usual which can add to the fun, but you might want dry clothes to change into for the journey home.

If we have to close for unsafe weather conditions, we will offer you a refund, credit note or reschedule your booking. If unsafe weather is forecasted we will aim to make the decision as early as possible, and will do our best to contact you to try and save you a wasted journey.

Yes! Well behaved dogs are allowed on-site but can't join you on the course, please ensure you have a spectator available to look after them. The cafe has designated areas for guests with dogs. Please follow Forestry England signs with regard to where to keep your dogs on a lead.

The Wyre Forest Cafe is located near the main car park and visitor centre. They serve a variety of hot and cold drinks as well as food.

Baby changing and accessible toilet facilities are available at the main toilet building. You can find more information on Forestry England's website.

The main path to the cabin, decking and spectator area for Treetop Adventure is accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Some areas of Treetop Challenge can be seen from these main accessible trails, but to follow participants on Treetop Challenge the forest paths are narrow, uneven and include steps. If you have any specific accessibility requirements please contact us ahead of your visit so we can help.

There is a large pay and display car park operated by Forestry England. We recommend leaving ample time to find a space and using pay machines at peak times.

We recommend bringing only what you need and leaving any bags locked in your car if you drive to us. We do have some space for small items at the cabin and a few small lockers, but space is limited. Any items are left at your own risk.

Toilets are located behind the cafe building near the car park.

Go Ape Wyre is located in Wyre Forest, near the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre and Wyre Forest Cafe, just three miles west of Bewdley on the A456. Follow the brown Forestry England signs from Kidderminster. Please note: the post code may not take you to the correct entrance. Please use the main forest car park which is well sign posted. From the car park, follow signs down the hill on the main path past the cafe and play area to find the cabin.
