Did you know Go Ape Southampton now have a brand new course for 2024? The Treetop Adventure Plus experience lets young explorers (over 6 years and 1.2m tall) explore the forest canopy, leap skyward bounds and finish off with the ultimate treetop activity with an epic zip line down to the forest floor! They'll find their feet on Treetop Adventure before taking on the two new Treetop Adventure Plus loops - and more than 20 challenging new crossings! They'll enjoy more independence, higher platforms and extra challenging crossings that wobble and weave before an additional solo zip-wire ride back to the ground.
If you’ve got little kids, swing into action on Treetop Adventure. Keeping family in mind, this high-rope adventure has no age limit! So, even your tots can have a go, as long as they’re over one metre tall. There’s plenty to keep them busy up there, from wobbly bridges, and intricate crossing straight to a speedy 100m+ zip-wire ride! Don't forget to take in the breathtaking scenery.
Then there’s the Treetop Challenge! At a knee-knocking 12m high, this is one of the biggest high-ropes courses in Southern England. Add to that 440 acres of woodland, 40 crossings, a giant 250m long speedy zip wire finale AND the epic Tarzan Swings: it all equals up to an award-winning day out!
Go Ape Southampton is the perfect family day out for those looking for a dose of thrill and wanting to tackle tricky tree-high crossings and high ropes experiences.
