Yes, you can book at the Go Ape cabin on the day, but availability isn’t guaranteed. Sessions often fill up quickly, especially at weekends and during holidays, so we recommend booking online in advance to secure your spot.

For the safety of both mother and child, Go Ape strongly recommends that pregnant women do not take part in our adventures.

Our adventures are robust physical activities involving climbing, balancing, and zipping, which naturally carry a degree of risk. While we don't want to be discriminatory, we are not medical experts.

We strongly encourage you to seek advice from your doctor before deciding to participate.

If, after consulting your doctor, you choose to proceed, we will require you to formally declare your pregnancy to a staff member and sign a specific disclaimer acknowledging that:

"I have made Go Ape aware that I am pregnant and, as a result, Go Ape has recommended that I do not take part on the course. However, I have decided to take part on the course in the full knowledge that this may incur risks to my unborn child."

We want you to have a safe and wonderful experience, so please prioritise medical advice when making this decision!

Go Ape activities are physically and emotionally challenging outdoor adventures that come with a risk of injury when participating.

If you or anyone you are supervising has a pre-existing injury or medical condition (including pregnancy) that could affect your ability to participate safely or may increase your risk of injury, we would recommend that you do not take part in the activity.

However, we do not want to be discriminatory and ultimately the choice is yours. We are not medical experts and therefore suggest that you seek advice from your doctor on the matter.

If you decide to proceed, you will need to declare that you have an existing injury. In addition to your risk acknowledgement form, you will be asked to complete an additional form on the day of your adventure stating that you have decided to take part in the activity in the full knowledge that this may incur additional risks to your existing injury.

Please make Go Ape staff aware on arrival and they will provide you with the additional form. If you would like to discuss anything with us before you decide, please reach out via email to questions@goape.co.uk or give us a call on 01603 895500.

Bumbags and backpacks aren't permitted on the course as they may increase your risk of injury or get in the way of your harness. A lanyard and phone pouch can be purchased online at the time of booking or on the day from the Go Ape cabin (subject to availability). If you need to carry any medication with you, please let a member of staff know who will be able to provide you with a pouch which can be attached to your harness.

We recommend that non-essential items and bags are left somewhere safe such as in your car. Small items such as car keys can be left in the Go Ape cabin.

We strongly recommend booking your adventure online or by phone before travelling.

Go Ape sessions often sell out, especially during weekends and peak season. If you wait until you arrive, we cannot guarantee there will be any spaces left, and we genuinely hate sending people away disappointed! Book ahead to secure your spot.

A supervising adult will only need a ticket if they are participating in the activity.

Some of our activities do require adult supervision in the tree tops. Depending on the age of the children you are supervising, it is possible to supervise from the ground if you prefer. We recommend participating with your children so you can enjoy your adventure together, especially if it's their first time or they are feeling a little nervous.

Supervision requirements can be found on the location and activity pages of the website.

All participants must weigh a minimum of 7 stone or 45kg. This is to enable the participant to be able to safely operate the Segway which is controlled through shifting your body weight. Anyone who does not meet this requirement may not be able to safely stop the machine which would put themselves and others at risk. The maximum weight is 18.4 stone or 117kg.

You can book online. This is the fastest way to check availability and guarantee your spot!

If you prefer to talk it through, call us at 01603 895500.

Booking for a group? For schools, company outings and more, please check out our Groups pages. Our dedicated events team will help organise all the details.

We have produced this handy guide on staying safe at Go Ape in hot weather. Please have a read through to prepare for your adventure.

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 are 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.

Yes! Well behaved dogs are allowed on-site but can't join you on the course, please ensure you have a spectator available to look after them. The cafe has designated areas for guests with dogs. Please follow Forestry England signage for when to keep your dogs on a lead.

There is a cafe that serves hot food, drinks and snacks. Opening times may vary seasonally.

Baby changing facilities and accessible toilets are located in the Foresty England visitor centre.

Both the forest and car park are wheelchair accessible. Accessible toilets are available in the Forestry England visitor centre, opposite our cabin. The supervising area beneath our course is also wheelchair accessible in most areas, however to spectate participants on Treetop Challenge the forest paths can be narrow and uneven. If you have any specific accessibility requirements please contact us ahead of your visit so we can help. You can also find more information on Forestry England's website.

The car park is managed by Forestry England. Please visit their website for the latest charges. You can pay on your way back to the car after your adventure. We recommend leaving ample time to find a space.

We have space for small items at the cabin, but storage is not secure, so belongings are left at your own risk. We recommend bringing as little as possible and any bags to be left in your vehicle if you arrive by car.

Toilets are located directly opposite our cabin in the Forestry England visitor centre. This is 3 minutes away from the course, so we recommend using the toilets beforehand.

Located near to Robin Hood's infamous Major Oak hideout, Go Ape Sherwood Pines can be found 20 miles from Nottingham. The 100-year-old pines provide a high canopy and although the woodland is open, you'll find our high ropes course nicely hidden within Sherwood Pines. Follow brown signs to 'Sherwood Pines' from Ollerton or the A614. Sherwood Pines is located on the B6030 between Clipstone and Ollerton. Search Google Maps for 'Go Ape Sherwood' for an accurate location (please note Apple Maps is currently inaccurate).
