Go Ape Beechenhurst, Forest of Dean - Coleford

My son, William (Pickle) took his "Cub of the Month" bear for an end of Summer Holiday treat to Go Ape. Raven, the instructor who fitted his harness and was supervising the course, was absolutely amazing. Really friendly and helpful, and supportive when some of the other children needed a bit of encouragement. Would highly recommend this branch of Go Ape to anyone. Fantastic team and lovely facilities.

We visited here on a Saturday afternoon as a group of eight. Four adults, four children.
Parking was easy (contactless payment only).

Although we had excellent fun on all the equipment and created some amazing family memories, the stand out for me was how incredible the colleagues were! Every single one of them was polite, friendly, approachable and fantastic with the children.
Safety is obviously their number one priority, but fun is clearly a close second!

Due to how much fun we had here, we are now booking up with other locations around the UK. I can only hope they are just as good.. they have a LOT to live up to!

Thank you Beechenhurst Team for an incredible day!

We visited today and what an amazing place. The staff were so lovely especially the one instructor that helped me across a part I struggled with. He was very patient with me and very reassuring. Exceptional service he definitely made me feel safe. He also was very supportive and made me not give up.

Thank you ☺️

100 percent one of the greatest last minute things me and my 10 year old son has done!

Super friendly staff and very professional!

Easy to get going and around the courses.

Very well structured and very well demonstrated.

Amazing fun on the zip line!

Super safe!

The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the shop dose not sell drinks or have a toilet facility, you have to use the cafe down the road. And you also have to pay for parking.

Other than that what a great day !

What a fantastic day we had here as a family. We couldn't have picked a nicer day as the sun was out and everyone was enjoying themselves.
The location of this Go Ape is great, there is lots to do and some lovely walks. It was very busy when we visited so parking was a little tough. There is plenty of parking so I guess it was due to the time of day we visited etc. Parking cost £7 for the day or £4 for 5hrs.

The Go Ape staff were very friendly and were great with the children explaining how the harnesses work and site rules.

There are 4 different runs you can take here but we only managed to get around 3 of them within the hour slot we had. This was packed with more than enough fun and excitement for my family 🙂

As said myself and my family had a fantastic time but this experience would differ from family to family. There were some children and adults who did find it tough and were a little out of their comfort zone. Staff provide loads of encouragement for those struggling however.

We will definitely be doing this again.

We had an absolutely wonderful visit to Go Ape at Beechenhurst this afternoon, booking was incredibly easy, the price was reasonable too. On arrival the check in was very simple, the staff fitting the harnesses took the time to ensure that they were fitted correctly and our children were comfortable. All the staff at the centre went above and beyond to ensure that our three children (11,9 and 6) had a positive experience. The only thing that lets the whole experience down is the steep abrupt landing on the Zip wires into filthy woodchip, other than that it was a perfect afternoon. we will definitely visit Go Ape again.

Just what you expect from go ape. A challenging course that suits all the families adventure needs. This course is great for any one ages 6+ that wants to have a taste of being high in the trees.

The staff are also a massive credit to the place. All the girls getting you kitted out and set up were really friendly and great with the kids. The guy that was at the top looking after the zip wire was amazing. He was remembering kids names each time they went around. He was great an encouraging kids to give it ago.
