Returning this autumn - Sundown Adventures!
Back by popular demand. Experience tree top thrills in a whole new light across 25 locations for a limited time between 17th October and 9th November. Go Ape Sundown Adventures offer a new level of forest fun in the dark. Become a creature of the night as you climb through the canopy on a high ropes course lit with colourful lights. Test your skills on tree top crossings and experience the thrill of a zip wire ride into the darkness. It's a unique opportunity to enjoy the forest's beauty and experience the adrenaline rush of adventure after dark. The experience takes one to two hours, and the Go Ape team are around to help throughout. It starts with a safety briefing and harness fitting. For ages 6 and up (minimum height 1.2 metres) this is an adventure that will delight kids and adults alike.
Fun Activities For Thrill Seekers
The Treetop Adventure course will put you and your little ones (over 1m tall) at the centre of the family fun. You’ll soon get into the swing of things with wobbly crossings like the stepping stones, followed by a zip line experience to bring you back down to earth! But this isn't any zip wire, it's an exhilarating 170-metre forest zipline, that will have you navigating your way through a tunnel of greenery as you immerse yourself in this dense forest!
Young daredevils over 6 years and 1.2m can up the thrill even more on Treetop Adventure Plus with longer leaps and an epic solo zipline. If they're in need of a challenge and something truly unique to accomplish, this is the adventure for thrill seekers and newcomers! From daring crossings and a high-wire adventure, it's a day out they won't forget.
Looking for an ape-sized adventure? The Treetop Challenge features a huge 170m long zip-wire and breath-taking dual Tarzan Swings, which will put your courage to the test.

Whether you're a daring adult, a young child or a teen dipping your toes into thrill-seekers galore. You'll find all your sky-high adventure at Go Ape!
Don’t forget to take in the spectacular views of Bedgebury Forest once you reach the top! You'll be king of the world or George of the Jungle! Known as the Garden of England, even the cheekiest of monkeys will agree the forest is impressive - it’s one of the most complete collections of conifers in the world!
Unsure about the heights? Don't worry, you can keep your feet on the ground and explore 2,500 acres of forest floor! You'll find 3 walking and cycling trails, and 4 orienteering and running trails! So, whatever activity you're looking for, you can bet Go Ape Bedgebury has it!
