Go Ape Adventure at Chessington in 2016

As the 30th Go Ape Adventure to launch in the UK and the first ever to launch within a UK theme park, there will be no better way for you and your family to unleash your inner Tarzan than with a visit to Go Ape at Chessington World of Adventures.

Following the success of the Enchanted Forest Tree Top Quest at Alton Towers, a new high ropes course is coming to Chessington World of Adventures in Summer 2016. 

With two fantastic courses available in one location – Tree Top Adventure and Tree Top Junior – anyone over 1m can enjoy taking part, meaning the whole family can Go Ape together. After a full safety briefing, guests will be able to navigate various walkways and obstacles, then zipwire down to the ground.

Within the Tree Top Adventure course, adventurous tribes can enjoy two to three hours in the trees, starting from a 16m tall start tower and ending with a 150m long zip wire. Along the way they will take on on zip wires, Tarzan swings, rope ladders and a variety of obstacles and crossings. For mini Tarzans, the Tree Top Junior course is ideal - offering a fun filled hour of tree-to-tree crossings, finishing with a zip line finale.

Additionally, Go Ape at Chessington will play host to the one-of-a-kind Go Ape four man zip wire! The whole family will feel the wind on their faces as they soar through the woodland side by side.

We are delighted to announce that Go Ape – the UK’s No.1 Forest Adventure – will be swinging into Chessington World of Adventures Resort in Summer 2016. As Britain’s Wildest Adventure, the partnership with Go Ape brings two adventurous brands together and ensures families can enjoy going wild in new ways when visiting us.Tim Harrison Jones, Divisional Director at Chessington World of Adventures Resort

As the new attraction will be located in woodland on the far side of the grass car park, a shuttle will be available from the resort hotels on the other side of the theme park. It will be operated by Go Ape and charged separately from theme park admission.

With the Woodland Discovery Centre providing educational workshops, mini Tarzans and Baboons will be able to take a step out of the classroom and into the canopy to develop their learning and real life experiences in a way like no other.
