With its thrilling treetop courses, picturesque surroundings, and a range of family-friendly activities, Go Ape Aberfoyle promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

The centerpiece of Go Ape Aberfoyle's offerings is its famous Tree Top Adventure—a high-flying, adrenaline-fueled obstacle course that takes participants soaring through the treetops. Families will embark on a journey through a series of suspended bridges, zip lines, and Tarzan swings, providing a heart-pounding, awe-inspiring experience.

Upon arrival, families will receive a comprehensive safety briefing and be equipped with all the necessary gear, including harnesses and helmets, to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure. Trained instructors will be on hand to guide participants throughout the course, offering support and encouragement as they navigate the challenges ahead.

As they ascend into the treetops, families will be treated to stunning panoramic views of the surrounding forest and the picturesque Loch Ard. It's a bird's-eye view that will leave lasting impressions and provide unique photo opportunities to capture the day's most unforgettable moments.

Go Ape Aberfoyle is not just for adults and older kids—the Tree Top Junior Adventure is tailor-made for the younger members of the family, providing a chance for pint-sized adventurers to enjoy their own exciting journey amidst the trees. Specially designed for children over the age of 6, this course combines all the fun of the Tree Top Adventure but at a lower height, ensuring it's both safe and accessible for young participants.

The Tree Top Junior Adventure is brimming with wobbly bridges, crossings, and thrilling zip lines, all scaled to suit the smaller frames of young adventurers. With parents and guardians nearby, children will gain confidence and independence as they conquer each obstacle, fostering a sense of achievement and excitement that will leave them glowing with pride.

For families seeking a unique and leisurely way to explore the enchanting forest, the Forest Segway Experience offers a one-of-a-kind adventure. Participants will learn to master the art of riding a Segway—a self-balancing, electric-powered vehicle—before venturing out on an eco-friendly tour of the woodland trails.

Guided by friendly instructors, families will glide effortlessly through the forest, encountering breathtaking sights and possibly spotting some of Scotland's fascinating wildlife along the way. The Forest Segway Experience is suitable for ages 10 and above, making it an enjoyable activity for both parents and older children.

For those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, Go Ape Aberfoyle offers an array of stunning forest walks, catering to families of all fitness levels. These peaceful trails wind through ancient woodlands, offering opportunities for quiet contemplation, birdwatching, and reconnecting with nature.

Families can choose from various walking routes, ranging from short, leisurely strolls to more challenging hikes that lead to breathtaking viewpoints. Along the way, they'll encounter the rich biodiversity of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, with its towering trees, vibrant flora, and perhaps even the occasional red squirrel or deer.
