Go Ape Zip Wires

Treetop Challenge

Bucket list experience for teens and adults

Our original high ropes courses are made up of multiple sites or loops that wind their way through the canopy. Each finishes with a thrilling zip wire ride back to the ground.

Each forest location is unique so you'll find zip wires of all lengths and heights at Go Ape. Pick your Go Ape location, then Treetop Challange and discover the important stats in the 'Adventure Overview' section of the page.

Selected locations only; check out Treetop Challenge Xpress for a shorter experience, or Challenge Plus to take on harder crossings.

Participants must be 1.4m tall, and at our locations using a self belay safety system participants must also be over 10 years.

Treetop Adventure

Fun for young families

Our high ropes experience for young families, designed for children to take their first steps into the tree tops and have a go at zip lining.

The course is made up of multiple loops, starting with easier crossings to build confidence, then adding wobble to test your skills.

Each loop finishes with a zip wire ride back to Earth, often described as the 'best bit' when the young heroes are returning their harness and collecting their certificate and sticker.

Zip wires are staffed by Go Ape instructors to ensure safe departure and to support children (and their grown-ups) that need some extra encouragement.

Participants must be 1m tall, no minimum age.

Treetop Adventure Plus

Great for Primary Aged Children

Like Treetop Adventure, but with MORE! More height, more wobble and more zips for your youngsters to test their skills and push their limits.

Some of our Treetop Adventure Plus courses are an extension to Treetop Adventure, and children will have access to those loops of the course first to build their confidence. At other locations Treetop Adventure Plus is a standalone experience where the challenge progresses through the course.

For both extended and standalone courses your young adventurer's first zip wire is always under the direct supervision of a Go Ape instructor.

Participants must be 1.2m tall, minimum age 6 years.

Zip trekking Adventure

The Uk's longest network of zip wires

The most unmissable zip wire experience in the UK, Zip Trekking is exclusive to Go Ape Grizedale in the Lake District.

After a short 15-minute walk through the epic landscape, your ultimate zip wire experience consists of 3km of dual zip lines. This means you'll be soaring side-by-side with your adventure buddy the whole way down.

Expect fun, games and memories to last a lifetime from this zip wire adventure, which is instructor lead throughout.

Participants must be 1.4m tall, minimum age 13 years.
