Go Ape Temple Newsam

We charge a booking fee to cover the costs associated with processing bookings efficiently and securely. This non-refundable fee covers various operational expenses, including website maintenance, hosting fees, payment processing fees, customer support services, and technology investments aimed at improving your booking experience.

Most Go Ape locations are a great destination to bring your dog. We recommend visiting the landlord’s website beforehand to find information about restrictions and guidance. Please be aware that unfortunately dogs are not able to visit our location at Woburn Safari Park.

Dogs must be kept on a lead and under control nearby to our courses. Spectators with unruly or noisy dogs will be asked to leave the area if they are upsetting other customers. Please be aware and respectful that not everyone is fond of dogs. Please also clean up after your dog and use the bins provided by our landlords.

Whilst we love dogs, unfortunately they can’t take part in your activity with you, and we’re not able to look after them whilst you’re on the course or Segwaying through the forest. You will need to arrange adequate supervision for them.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome into the Nets Adventure area for supervising adults. Please be aware that this is an enclosed space and respectful that not everyone likes dogs.

Most Go Ape locations are fantastic places to enjoy a cycle, and many also offer bike hire. At Alice Holt and Black Park, the cycle hire is called Forest Biking and is operated by Go Ape. You can reserve a bike and cycle extras at these locations when you book your Go Ape adventure online.

Go Ape locations including Bracknell, Dalby Forest, Glentress Forest, Grizedale and Haldon Forest, are well known cycling destinations. They feature a mixture of family cycling trails and more extreme routes for experienced mountain bikers. More information about local routes, cycling restrictions and cycle hire not operated by Go Ape can be found on our landlords’ websites.

Please note that Go Ape cannot take responsibility for your bike whilst your participate in our activities.

Yes, absolutely. The only adventure with restrictions is Woburn Safari Park, which allows just one onlooker. All other tree top courses allow as many fans as you’d like to cheer you on.

Please do! You’re going to want to capture these moments to share. We do ask that phones taken to height are attached to you to minimise the risk of dropping them. Our courses pass over paths and playgrounds so it’s important that we are thinking of others. Phone pouches with a lanyard are available to buy from our cabins for £6, but used at your own risk.

Please allow plenty of time to park your car and use the toilets (as usage restrictions may be in place). You should aim to be at the cabin 15 minutes before your booked time. We will be operating a card only policy at the Go Ape cabin but some parking facilities may still be taking cash so do make sure that you bring some with you.

Go Ape is an excellent wet weather activity. Our courses are substantially sheltered from rain and wind by the trees themselves so as long as you’re appropriately dressed for the weather you should still have great memories of your experience. The course remains open in all weathers, except thick ice, thunderstorms and gales. Rain makes the course muddier than usual – which can add to the fun, but you might want dry clothes to change into for the journey home.

If we have to close for unsafe weather conditions, we will offer you a refund, credit note or reschedule your booking. If unsafe weather is forecasted we will aim to make the decision as early as possible, and will do our best to contact you to try and save you a wasted journey.

We recommend you wear gloves for comfort. Bring your own or pre-order our recommended gloves and collect from our cabin.

We suggest that you wear something you don’t mind getting grubby. Dress for the weather so bring along a mac if the forecast is for rain.

You need to make sure you have the correct footwear which can’t fall off easily. This should offer protection to your toes and heel. Please do not wear sandals, flip flops, Crocs, slip-off or high heel shoes.

Your stomach area will need to be covered to prevent the harness rubbing, and long hair must be tied back to prevent entanglements in the equipment.
