Go Ape Cannock

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

Each activity lasts between 2-3 hours whether you're planning to swoop through the forest floors or climb to the treetops! You can expect a safety briefing before each activity to ensure you feel confident and know what you are doing before beginning your Go Ape Adventure! 

If you are looking for a challenge of nerve and strength, look no further! Fancy an adventure the whole family can enjoy together? Buddy up with your tiny explorers (min 1m tall) to take on the Treetop Adventure and show off your tree-climbing skills. Treetop Adventure Plus is the next level up for explorers (over 1.2m) looking for even more thrills.

Still looking for more? Climb up to the tippy tops of the trees - well, 14m up at least - on Treetop Challenge and clamber around rope ladders, Tarzan Swings, wobbly bridges, intricate crossings, and zip wires (min height 1.4m). It's treetop fun all around, am I right? 

Go Ape Cannock is tucked away in the Staffordshire countryside which - fun fact - is the smallest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in mainland Britain! Find your way around the woods on a Go Ape Forest Segway adventure or enjoy a spot of mountain biking on the peddle and play trails. The local flora and fauna are also well worth a look, even if you’re just speeding past. Forest Segways are a perfect two-wheeled adventure!

Whizz through Cannock Chase Forest in the Go Ape zip line experience! Give a wave to your siblings as you pass them on the high-wire adventure. Not only is this great fun but you'll get to see the breathtaking views of Cannock Chase. Cool off and lower your adrenaline as you finish your day of adventure on one of the walking trails. Don't forget to breathe and absorb every inch of Cannock forest.
