Go Ape Chessington
Chessington, Greater LondonAbout Go Ape Chessington
Say yes to the ultimate forest adventure at Go Ape Chessington! Whether you're looking for fun adventures for adults or kids - it's time to rally the troops, tighten your clips and head for heights of 10m and zip across the forest skyline on a 150m zip line!
Located in the Chessington World of Adventures Resort, your high-rope adventure will begin with a small, all-important safety briefing and safety practice until you feel confident to begin one of the fantastic courses. Once you've absorbed all of the staff's top tips and safety instructions, it's only you and the beautiful forest surroundings you need to focus on.
Go on, push yourself out of your comfort zone, tackle those challenging crossings and finish with an exhilarating experience like the zip ride!
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
Experience freedom as you swing high in the trees with a high ropes adventure. With an action-packed duo of adult and junior experiences, it’s the perfect place for thrill-seekers of all ages. Gather your troop and get ready for some serious treetop action - including a brilliant four-person zip wire (you won't find this at any other Go Ape location!). This epic challenge is only at Go Ape Chessington, making it an amazing location for adventure seekers everywhere.
Tiny chimps in the group? Anyone’s welcome to have a go at the outdoor activity with the Treetop Adventure course, as long as they are taller than 1m. This means the whole family can experience Go Ape together in the picturesque woodlands. They'll face treetop crossings, wobbly bridges and of course, an exhilarating zip ride back down to the forest floor.
Looking for even bigger thrills? Go skyward bounds and level up to the Treetop Challenge (suitable for anyone over 1.4m). Face challenging courses packed with twisty, wobbly crossings, and epic zip lines - did we mention it's a FOUR person zip line experience (which you can't find anywhere else!)? Not to mention the high ropes span a whopping 835 metres!
Want to know something cool? Go Ape Chessington is even open during the winter months too!
