Go Ape - Temple Newsam Reviews 9

I think it's far too expensive!
A family with just 1 child & a parent doing it
would costs over £70 it's a shame it's priced so high
I don't think it's worth the money.

We visited the Temple Newsam location & the staff were fantastic from beginning to end!
We were greeted by Spencer to get booked on & our wrist bands-he was so friendly & organised our booking (I’d missed one of the disclaimers but he was so polite about it)
Then we met Tom who just was so engaging & got the girls ready. 15yr old , 16yr old (birthday girl) & 18yr old ( I decided to sit this one out) ☺️
Then Tom showed them about & got them started on the tree top course.
We were lucky as it seemed a pretty quiet day.
Tom was just so good at keeping us parents informed where the group was going next & where we’d best see them to take photos ect.
The staff were always about if you needed them & they were always checking in or keeping the course tidy. We met Josh too who was super helpful too.
The girls had been before but quite a few yrs ago so it was so good to see them still enjoying GoApe.
Well done to the recruitment team for GoApe! You definitely take on the write staff for the job! 💯💯

My 3 kids have loved this particular go ape at Temple Newsam. We have been a few time and the staff have always been so lovely. Really helpful and brilliant with children. The course itself is really good somthing for everyone. When you have finished all your allocated trails you can go on again if you have time left.

Great location. The instructors were all brilliant and helpful. One issue is the design. Whether it's to do with safety regulations or not... but it seems negligent to not have a method to easily jettison a child back down to the ground when they're having a mini meltdown. I'm sure this is not uncommon. Due to the cable system, everyone had to come off by going backward on a level... An instructor came up the opposite way but couldn't convince the kid to continue. Therefore everyone has to come off, the time has to be extended... creates a backlog for Go Ape etc etc... bizarre. Why not have a tool to unlock the trolley, and belay/abseil a kid down from a platform. Simple. Otherwise, a great day.

From arriving at the reception to receiving our certificate, the staff were amazing. They were friendly and great with all the participants. They were thorough on safety and everyone really helped when one member of our party was struggling, being very supportive empathetic and encouraging. Will definitely recommend to everyone.

Lucy was absolutely amazing!!!!
I’m a big worrier and was scared to do the Tarzan swing however I really wanted to do it. Lucy just stayed and chatted with me until I was comfortable and confident to do it. She also explained to me what each hook was doing and what would happen when I did jump. All of the staff were helpful however Lucy was absolutely fabulous!

Went to Temple Newsam 'go ape' on 09/04/2023, initially booked for the treetop challenge, when my son was over-whelmed for the initial experience, staff assisted in him combating his fears and later allowed him to switch to a more age appropriate course.
Again, during the experience, my son froze on two more occasions for the helpful staff to again come to his aid.
All the staff need a huge 'pat' on the back for their professionalism and care towards my son.
I'm sorry I cannot recall each member of staff names that dealt with my son specifically, however, from afar, I did see others assisting other youngsters and adults alike, causing them to face their own separate challenge.
Thank you very much for the experience, I will certainly recommend the activity to others as well as book again.

To all the brilliant team at Go Ape Temple Newsam- thank you very much for a wonderful day!
You were all so helpful and accommodating with the late arrival of one member of the party.
The new (ish) Forest Shelter is a super addition to your site.
Thank you!

Had a fantastic morning at Go Ape, Temple Newsam, with my 10 year old. This was our first visit to Go Ape and we opted for the Treetop Adventure + course. The course had just the right level of challenge for us and it was great that we were able to complete the levels at our own pace. All the staff we encountered during our visit were friendly and extremely helpful. A big shout out to both Oscar and Saul who came to our rescue when we got into a couple of sticky spots - both were quick to react and gave tips to ensure that we had the confidence to complete the rest of the course. Thanks guys!
