High ropes, zip wires, treetop nets and forest adventures at Go Ape's original location
Get ready for an adventure in the trees at Go Ape Thetford, the very first Go Ape location. Set within the beautiful lowland forest of Thetford Forest, this woodland adventure centre has been delivering high-flying thrills since 2002.
There's something for almost every adventurer, from the family-friendly Treetop Adventure to the demanding Challenge Plus. You can tackle Go Ape's original Treetop Challenge, bounce among the treetops on the brand-new Nets Adventure, or explore the forest floor on an all-terrain Segway.
Thrill-seekers aged 10+ can choose between Treetop Challenge and Challenge Plus. Treetop Challenge features five sections of aerial obstacles, five zip wires and two Tarzan Swings, while Challenge Plus takes things further with more than 40 daring crossings and three additional challenging sections.
Younger visitors aren't left out. Treetop Adventure and Treetop Adventure Plus offer age-appropriate high ropes experiences, while Nets Adventure gives children aged 3–11 the chance to bounce, climb and explore suspended nets around 30 feet above the forest floor.
