My kids had a blast! The nervous mom in me couldnt find anything that was unsafe, and all the instructors are fantastic. I have no complaints. We will absolutely be going back!

Awesome, friendly staff, great way to step out of comfort zone. Had water stations each zone, and started on time and felt no rush to finish too early! Definitely coming back again!

This was definitely an adventure!! Man!!! I cant believe I actually completed the course. It is an awesome place for a family outing, or date, or corporate team building activity. If you are feeling adventurous, GoApe!!

Had a great time. Very good staff very helpful, and made sure you understood everything before allowing you to go on the course. The course was fun, but also challenging.

I planned a girls weekend and our first stop for the weekend was Go Ape Zipline adventure. Our tour guide Anna was phenomenal. She was patient even though I was terrified and helped and encouraged and praised all of us. I was so impressed with the staffs service, the course, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you Go Ape Team! Keep up the good work!

Very fulfilling adventure. A total of five steps, each ending with a zip. I landed the first one on my feet and the last one on my back flat. And, yes, I left with mulch in my hair, my shoes and my underwear .

I came here for my birthday and other occasions. Its extremely fun! The Ziplines are the best thing and are long and fun. The staff is extremely friendly and enforces safety above all, which is good. You will love this! Totally worth it.

10/10 experience. I am someone how hates heights and Im not gonna line, this basically helped me overcome it. Our guide, Jenny, was very instructive and had a great sense of humor helping with my groups confidence. Would definitely come again.

We did the youth adventure and the kids had a blast. Employees were super nice and helped with everything. I think the setup is good and exciting but not too terriubly scary for 8-year-old and a 5-year-old.

About an hour and a half from the Fort Bragg area. We drove out because they had courses for the younger kids. The staff was friendly. The obstacles provided a bit of a challenge for younger kids but nothing too terrifying. A good time will be had here.

This was very fun. The course takes a bit of effort but you feel the wind when you go down the ziplines and its very cool. They also explain exactly what you need to do and have an area for practice. Had a good time.

The staff was very friendly except the woman at the check in. She was very rude. I got stuck and had to wait for staff to help me and he had to drag me thru part of the course which scrapped my arms and legs. I understand he was trying to do the best he could in the situation, but when there are emergency situations they should have ladders etc to help their customers get down safely. I had three employees confirm that I could get a refund. I ask to speak to a manager and was handed a piece of paper with a number to call. When I went back to the check in the lady at check in told me I couldn’t get my money back. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

I read a lot of reviews and did a lot of research before going because I wanted to do it to conquer my fear of heights. Idk that Ive conquered them, but I certainly tested boundaries and had SO much fun! It was definitely a work out though

My kid absolutely loved it, he had to do the junior course and did not want to leave. The staff is great, and works well with the kids. Very professional, and lets you enjoy your time up in the trees.

I had no idea what to expect and it was challenging in some parts of the course, but I am on my early 50s and in not great shape. In the end we all felt very proud and happy to finish it. It was a cool adventure for all of us!

An adventure. A little pricey but may be able to find a groupon.

Review №27

Fun course! Challenging and entertaining. The staff were all extremely nice and helpful. The only reason I give only 4 stars is that the flow of guests through the training portion could use improvement. A simple question posed by the staff along the lines of Who thinks theyll move through the course quickly and let those groups up front would go a long way to reducing bottlenecks - i.e. getting stuck behind a (much) slower group. But, overall, great experience!

My husband & I went today & had a GREAT time! A little pricey ($100+ for two adults) This is not for the faint of heights. Be prepared to climb & get a good workout in!

This was a great place to have a fun adventure. It was my first time doing something like this and I would definitely go back. Its important to listen to all the safety instructions because your guide does not stay with you as you navigate through the course. Also be prepared to do a lot of climbing and holding onto ropes. I would recommend some gloves if your not used to something like this.

Really enjoyed a lot. I have done some other zip lining in other places but go ape zip line is different from others. Highly recommend

Review №32

I went here with a group from work. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The course is good and challenging at parts. By the end I was ready for it to be over, though I did have fun on the last Tarzan swing.This would be a fun activity with a group or with pre-teens or teens. I plan to go back with my 12 year-old son and a friend of his. I can see how it would be really fun with kids.

Our family went to Go Ape in Raleigh NC yesterday and it was amazing! Our little girl is 4.5 years old and just tall enough to do the Junior course. From the second we arrive the staff was amazing! Our guides name was Joe and he made sure we were all safe in our harnesses and went over the instructions with us in a way a 4.5 year old could understand. It took us the whole time to complete the entire Junior course. Of course our little one was a little nervous. The staff was super encouraging! They cheered her on as she went on some of the most difficult obstacles. She was super scared at the last obstacle where her little legs were just not long enough to make the stretch and daddy had to hold her up the whole way across. Not only did all the staff cheer her on as she went when we got down one of the staff members told us to do the zip line one more time (even though our time had expired). She figured we should end on a positive note so my little one would want to come back. It definitely worked! The zip line was by far my little ones favorite! We had such a great time! We will be back soon and mommy and daddy are planning on completing the adult course next time!

We really had fun. I wish the cables were higher. Since the cables were so low we had to drag our attached cables along the line. We did the beginning course which could be the reason why the cables were low. Overall we still had fun!

This was such a fun adventure and they make you feel safe! I would recommend having a bit of endurance as it can be quite challenging at times but its an awesome experience all around! They have a smaller course for kids as well. I cant wait to go again.

IF NEGATIVE STARTS WERE POSSIBLE THIS WOULD GET -5 ! We drove to this place twice! Such a waste of time! They don’t even follow their own open and close timing. We came last weekend and arrived at 4:10 pm and they didn’t let us on the course saying that the last they could let someone on was at 4. We drove an hour to get there and they didn’t let us in which was disappointing but we sucked it up and left. we decided to come back the following weekend and we arrived at 3:30 (earlier so we can go in) and they then stated that they are not letting anyone on past 3pm. We explained what had happened the week before and told the girl working there and she wouldn’t let us in again!! It was so disappointing!! They don’t have a set schedule that they follow. On their website it says they are open till 7 but they open and close based on the employees mood apparently! One of the employees even said we already cleaned up after the last group so we are not letting anyone else in! Never going back there!! I’ve drove a total of 4 hours now for absolutely nothing.

Review №45

It’s not zip lining. It’s an obstacle course. Yeah there are a few short zip lines, but it’s a workout. Staff supervises from ground (when they are around). I personally didn’t feel safe. I guess they’re off the hook with the waiver u sign. If safety was their #1 priority, they would be there in the trees with you. Money seems to be priority. ($60 per person). Maybe their employees aren’t getting paid enough to go the extra mile.

I haven’t even been on the “tree top adventure” yet but the customer service at the 1800 booking service is terrible and really snarky. The girl who answered the phone was very snooty and made it sound like I was supposed to know all there information from there website. I hope my real experience is better than the one on the phone for just booking. Maybe there employees should get paid more for better service.

This place was amazing. This experience was top notch from the start to finish. Jenny was a great instructor and made my wife feel very comfortable. She explained things in understandable terms and gave pro tips to inhance our skills. It started raining in the middle of our trip but my wife and I didn’t mind. The trees block a lot of the rain and we stayed semi dry.Thanks GO APE and Jenny for a wounded full trip we will return soon with friends and family.

Review №57

I took my daughter (11) and niece (13) this summer and spent a wonderful day in the treetops. The experience was longer and more difficult than I had expected. (You get your money’s worth). It was, however, totally worth the effort.The girls had fun and gained in confidence as they went along. I had the joy of seeing somewhat thoughtless kids start out somewhat fearful and then transform into a careful, confident followers of each safety process who could thoroughly enjoy each walk in the treetops that followed.They did a great job training us; first showing us, then watching us closely, then watching us from the ground, then letting us go alone after we knew what we were doing, leaving us to go by ourselves, with me being responsible to oversee each latch off and on of the girls. I appreciated the independence.

Review №60

A great place for kids and adults to climb and traverse ropes and zip line. Costs for the child course is ~$30 regardless of age. But you have to be at least 36 last I recall. The child course is for an hour session. The adult course is $60 but takes around 2-3 hours to complete so thats why it costs double. A lot of fun if you have the $$$.

Review №63

Activity seems to be promising, but groups need to be better managed. My group spent 2 hours and were not able to complete the first non-tutorial station due to extremely slow participants in front of us. For comparison, other groups who started at the same time as us were able to complete the entire course (at least 5 stations, maybe more, I did not get to see the other stations), without rushing. In my opinion slower groups should be moved towards the back of the pack so that they do not ruin the experience for others.

Went on my first date here to get over my fear of heights. Lets just say there will be a second date. Anyways the place is well kept, clean, and all of the instructors/employees are very careful in making sure we are comfortable in the trees. My experience was wonderful and focusing on one task for 3 hours left me relaxed at the very end of everything. This place is for all ages and personally Im going their again soon.

I was so impressed with the staff and customer service approach of this place! I was supervising my two boys and my younger son felt the obstacles were too much for him. One of the staff members joined us on the course and encouraged my son through every step so he was able to complete the stage, to cheers all around. We didnt complete the course, but I was so pleased by all the support and great attitude, not to mention the excellent customer service, that well definitely be back and are recommending to our friends!

Had an amazing time at Go Ape, our instructor and safety supervisor named Brian, was hilarious and very helpful. Although it was 90 degrees hot, under the tree shade it felt great. The course was fun and it took us about 2 hours and 30 mins to finish it. There is ladder climbing and bridges made out of wood steps to be crossed and balanced on...expect to get dirty and tired. There are 5 areas and at the beginning of each there is water supplies to stay hydrated. Will definitely come again with other friends. Its both fun and a good workout.

My wife and I visited on a Friday afternoon. When we arrived, they gave us clear instructions and our guides took us to the first step. We felt confident knowing how to use the harness, and had an absolute blast trying all the different zip lines and rope courses. I was comfortable, even though it was a hot day, and pants and a t-shirt, and my wife were leggings with a tank top. When you land after zip lining down, you really land on wood chips. It doesnt hurt, but if you have a shirt you might want to tuck it in. Unless you want wood chips all down your pants.

Review №76

Awesome fun for my family. The ziplines were great, but they all had a blast on the rope air bridges also. 5 different stations to test your prowess and stamina. I had a knee replacement last year and could only participate as the official photographer. Well worth the money.

Review №93

Looking for some fun with family or friends? Go Ape is the place to do it. The staff is very professional, friendly and happy to help.Go Ape recommends you make reservations before showing up, so we were a little concerned when we walked up. However, they had an immediate opening and we were able to zip line.They gave very clear instructions on what we should bring with us, and more importantly, what we shouldnt bring.Before starting, our guide Banner (sp?), gave detailed instructions and hands-on practice with how to clip onto a line, connect the carriage, which rope(s) to hold while zip lining, etc. We were all very comfortable before being released on our own.Go Ape is a great mixture of obstacle/adventure course and zip line. Definitely a great way to spend the day with family.Go Ape would also be good for team building exercises.

I had fun doing the various obstacles, but I got frighted out of the obstacle area/woods by a large black snake. No time to look at its pupils to check if it was poisonous or not. I ran out like I was being chased by the Blair Witch.
