Of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)The result is spectacular. The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all (no pun intended), it’s just great fun. « less

“Not just for the kids!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

Most of the other people who've been up in the trees during my two visits (just two weeks apart) to Go Ape have been under 30, but the place is just as much fun for those over 50 (like me). Even the most challenging wobbly log crossings aren't as hard as they look, and there are "easy" alternatives for those... More

“Tons of fun and adventure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2012

I took my nieces here for a birthday celebration and we had an amazing time. I think I had more fun than they did. The course is challenging yet totally fun and exciting. The staff if very friendly and devote a lot of time to safety. GoApe is located in lovely Rock Creek park so it's easy to spend a... More

“Challenging Fun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2012

Go Ape Rockville was a treat. The course is challenging and fun. There are easy and extreme options as you move along the course. Pick the course you like and that suits your comfort and physical ability. The course is physically challenging in its entirety but is not impossible. Lots of fun. Trust yourself and the equipment. I recommend you... More

“What an adventure !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2012

Went to try out GO APE after several of my friends told me how much fun it was for them. I went with my sister for afternoon of fun, and it was that and more. We had a blast. Neither of us had ever done this before. The guide gave us clear instructions on how to safely attach and unattach... More

“Fun fun fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2012

We came here with a bunch of friends in May 2010. It was amazingly fun! There were about 5 big zip lines, which got increasingly higher and farther as you went through the course. Lessons were given at the beginning to our whole group that were clear and concise- it is important to pay attention because once they give you... More

“Fun for the whole family!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2012

this venue is tucked in the Needwood Lake Park off Needwood road and it is a wonderful place to take your kids 1o years old and up. The zip lines and obstacles are a blast. For me, the mom, the Tarzan jump was the scariest, it requires you to jump straight off a platform 40ft or so from the ground... More

Although this is pricey for a couple of hours of fun, the courses are challenging and green level (beginner) is even challenging. More

“Great corporate outing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2012

We planned our office summer 'picnic" at Go Ape, and had a wonderful time! The facility is unique, close to our location (central MoCo) and the folks working there were very helpful and laid back. We brought picnic refreshments for our troupe (about 25) and we all enjoyed a very interesting evening, even though it was the hottest day of... More
