A wide range of treetop activities
Take your family adventure to new heights with Go Ape Dalkeith Edinburgh. Set within the 1,000-acre grounds of Dalkeith Country Park, this outdoor activity spot combines high ropes, zip lines and confidence-building challenges with brilliant woodland scenery just outside the city.
The main Treetop Challenge is made for older children, teenagers and adults ready for a bigger thrill. After a safety briefing, you will tackle wobbly crossings, climbing elements and zip wires high above the forest floor. At Dalkeith, the course reaches platforms up to 14 metres high, with zip lines up to 105 metres long, so it is a proper family challenge rather than a gentle walk in the woods.
Families with younger adventurers have options too. Treetop Adventure is the entry-level course for children over 1 metre tall, while Treetop Adventure Plus is designed for confident children aged 6 and over who are at least 1.2 metres tall. It adds trickier crossings and zip lines over the River Esk. This means siblings of different ages can find an activity that matches their confidence and height.
Allow around two hours for your full high ropes visit, including check-in, harness fitting and the safety briefing. Make a day of it by exploring Dalkeith Country Park, booking Fort Douglas Adventure Playground separately, or stopping for food at Restoration Yard.
