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

We had an AWESOME time and would definitely go back. Staff was knowledgable and friendly. Keep in mind that the staff doesn't stay with you, so safety is #1

I was at least 20 years older than everyone I met here. Wondered what I had gotten myself into. But I had a great time. We moved through quickly. Never had to wait more than a couple of minutes at each platform. Not strenuous but a little sore the next day. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Went with kids and all had a good time doing obstacles and zip lines. Great way to built confidence in young adults while having fun. Hours of fun... terrific place and well run.

I had a great experience-- staff is energetic & friendly. They train you and then you are off on your own (with some supervision). Definitely recommend to people looking for a few hours of adventure!

I have been ziplining twice, but neither of those times included a high ropes obstacle course or me securing myself to the ziplines. The ziplines, themselves, are not that high or long, but the obstacle course makes up for it. You climb high trees, cross crazy wooden bridges and swinging logs, and complete tarzan jumps into a net rope. You... More

We went with a group of friends on a whim. Some of us were deathly scared of heights, some of us with a little weak upper body strenght and some of us just one generation away from being monkeys. All of us ended the courses with ear to ear smiles but some body parts sore. The favorite is the spider... More

We discovered Go Ape while visiting Eagle Creek Park, Indianapolis, Indiana back in November. Excitedly we learned of the Rock Creek Park course, located much closer to our WV eastern panhandle residence. My husband and I booked a midday outing on Friday, March 15th, joining a three person team and a couple both from the DC area. We were greeted... More

Event was very well organized and staff was friendly, helpful, and made you feel comfortable and safe without being intrusive to the experience. Course itself took about 2 hours to go through moving at a reasonable pace. The attractions were very entertaining and there was a good mixture of climbing, rope courses, and ziplining. Don't worry about having to be... More

Close by, fun course, beautiful park setting, free parking, great for all ages! I'm not sure how the course fared with the late summer storms, but we took our Girl Scout troop there and had a blast.
