DAYSOUT It’s a Jungle Out There LIVE LIFE ADVENTUROUSLY AT Go Ape If you’re looking for a unique, adventure-filled day out with the family in Kent, look no further than Go Ape, the UK’s leading forest adventure company. The kids might even give up their video games, TV remotes and loom bands for the day when you tell them they’ll be swinging from the treetops like Tarzan – Go Ape is just that good. The ultimate outdoor experience, Go Ape takes one lush green forest with a healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery, blends it with a smattering of treetop high wires, tricky crossings and wind-in-your-face zip wires, and then serves up an adventure that never fails. What's more, the result is spectacular. Not only does the Go Ape experience get the adrenalin pumping, it encourages visitors to step outside of their comfort zones, and above all (no pun intended), it’s just great fun. Boasting two leafy hideouts in the Garden of England, Go Ape can be found in the heart of Bedgebury Pinetum near Tunbridge Wells; and Leeds Castle, Maidstone. Both locations include the original Tree Top Adventure and Tree Top Junior, the latest experience to join the Go Ape family tree. It is aimed at 6-12 year olds; however, as long as you’re over one metre tall, you can explore the canopy too. Visit the website for more information, plus to help you to decide whether the course is right for your mini Tarzans. Tree Top Adventure The classic and original Go Ape experience is our 2-3 hour Tree Top Adventure. Join us if you’re aged 10 or older, over 1.4m/4ft 7in tall and under 20.5 stone/130kg. Christmas is right around the corner! The Go Ape Tree Top Adventure offers two to three hours of fun, and is a great way to get outdoors and try something unique. The high ropes adventure experience takes one lush, green forest and a healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery, and adds a smattering of treetop high wire, tricky crossings, and unforgettable zip lines. Rather than giving just another toy this year, give the kids on your list something they’ll remember forever: a tree top adventure at GoApe. Help them discover their inner ape with a gift voucher, which can be used at any of GoApe’s 29 locations, including the Tree Top Junior courses at Bedgebury and Leeds Castle, Kent. Tree Top Junior If you’re looking for outdoor activities for children, then Tree Top Junior is the answer. This fun-filled day out includes canopy exploring, trail blazing and obstacles for all to enjoy. Your young ones will negotiate crossings and finish on a high (literally) with one awesome zip wire. www.goape.co.uk 95
