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
Go Ape Salcey Forest is the perfect place for your tribe to get their adrenaline pumping and enjoy the great outdoors.
Located just 7 miles from Northampton's centre, there are two exciting high ropes courses for kids, including a stand-alone Treetop Adventure Plus course.
Prepare for an exhilarating hour of non-stop fun as you weave through the Treetop Adventure course. Comprising three loops, the initial low loop empowers participants to bolster their confidence. Loops two and three, suspended high in the canopy, feature tree-to-tree crossings and obstacles, finishing with the super-fast, super-exciting zip wire.
Looking to level up? Treetop Adventure Plus isn't just an experience; it's a thrilling step up on their Treetop Adventure course. Meticulously designed for young adventurers standing tall at 1.2m and above, aged over 6 years. It's also the very first standalone Treetop Adventure Plus course, completely separate from our Treetop Adventure course.
