How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Ideal for young adventurers over 1m tall, Go Ape Treetop Adventures offer pupils one hour of high ropes adventures as they make their way through the trees negotiating challenging obstacles on high platforms.

Identifying a key need for young adventurers and families, Go Ape at Ally Pally has recently launched the new fast-paced and challenging Gorilla Games. These games cater to 4 to 14-year-olds and help develop key life and team-building skills such as communication, leadership and of course, teamwork.

They are ideal for helping to get more children outdoors. These games also help encourage creativity and problem-solving skills on the ground.

With a wide range of games available, your host will hand-pick and guide you through some challenges and puzzles designed to put your students through the test, and help encourage their learning and development.
