Learning. Adventure. Confidence. All in a day at Go Ape.

Home Education

Our Home Education Days are taking a short break — but don’t worry, they’ll be back in 2026! Home-educating families can enjoy a Go Ape day out by booking as part of a wider group visit. Whether you team up with other home-ed families or organise your own group, our Schools Team can help you build a day that fits your needs — from tree-top adventures to ground-based activities and forest learning sessions.

Join our mailing list using the form at the bottom of this page, and be the first to know about our next Home Education Days.

Such a fun experience!

Took two kids to Go Ape and we all absolutely loved it. It was way higher than I expected, but totally worth it for the views and the adrenaline rush. The kids had a blast and were buzzing the whole way through.

Always a great time doing Go Ape

I would always recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do with a school-age child to have a go.
