Go Ape Alice Holt is an award-winning forest adventure that will have your kids flying through the air with the greatest of ease! Mini monkeys will be spoilt for choice with rope ladders, zip-wire rides, trapezes and massive crossings, all housed high in the canopy.
Fun Activities for Thrill Seekers
Before your Go Ape adventure can begin you'll have a safety briefing but don't worry it's not your average safety briefing where you fill out loads of forms and watch boring videos. You get to put your safety rules into action during a safety practice session.
You'll have a go on smaller courses and high-ropes so you can get into the swing of which hook goes where and you'll get familiar with where your emergency toggles are. Once you're all clued up it's time for your family fun to begin...
Fancy an adventure the whole family can enjoy together? Take on the Treetop Adventure, which is full of exciting obstacles (including wobbly bridges and intricate crossings), and is suitable for anyone over 1m tall, it gets even the tiniest tots involved! It's a great way to catch stunning views from the forest canopy as well as get your daily dose of thrill! And there's even an epic zip line experience thrown into the mix too!
For slightly older kids, there's Treetop Adventure PLUS - an additional loop on the current Treetop Adventure course. Even bigger daredevils can face the gigantic Treetop Challenge course with a breathtaking 126-metre zip wire! It's 2-3 hours of epic laughs and gut-wrenching heights - are you for the challenge?
Before you ask, no, you don't have to head for heights in order to have fun! If you want something fun a little closer to the ground and on the forest floor, explore the Alice Holt Forest on one of the family adventure trails. Keep an eye out for silver screen locations as well, since scenes from box office smashes like Gladiator, Skyfall and Captain America were filmed in the Royal Forest!
Food & Drink
High-wire adventures really take it out of you, don't they? And then when you need to replenish your energy, take a load off and pop over to the Alice Holt Forest Cafe for some refreshments and food. Also, you can bring your own picnic and relax in the picnic area while looking out over the beautiful forest!
