With trails for all skill levels and physical abilities, there’s an option for everyone. If you need ideas for things to do on the ground, axe throwing, outdoor escape rooms, mini-golf, or even just a scenic hike through the forest to root on your crew are all great options for your friends. Admission is free for non-climbing guests – the more the merrier! – so bring everyone and increase your ground-based cheering squad. You’ll work up an appetite and Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park has partnered with EZ Cater to make birthday party food catering easy. Bring your own cake and we’ll be happy to keep it safe for after your adventure.

These shared experiences strengthen relationships and create unity among husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and families. Our Frequent Flyer and National Adventure Pass Holders are perfect gift ideas to start traditions rooted in love – and the love of adventure.

6. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
Time to celebrate with the parents! Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to be jewelry, and Father’s Day gifts don’t have to involve a grill.

Surprise them with an experience that takes them outside their comfort zone, creating family memories that will last a lifetime! Provide gifts for mom and gifts for dad that give them what they really want: time with their loved ones that they’ll remember for years to come.

You’ve conquered school, so why not celebrate by conquering our treetop courses? Graduation party venues can’t hold a tassel to a graduation party in the trees. Go Ape ropes courses and ziplines aren’t just fun – they build confidence and resilience which will help everyone better themselves as you grow. Whether starting high school or college, medical school or going into your first professional career, this graduation party idea will boost skills needed to be successful while having a blast with friends and family.
8. Boy Scout and Girl Scout Outings
We love hosting Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups! Our local parks are the perfect scout outing locations, helping scouts reach their required badges while exploring new environments, collaborating with their fellow scouts, developing trust and empathy, and learning how to think from a different perspective.

Unleash the full potential of your team with our exhilarating team building & leadership development programs!

Our Team Bonding activities are great for remote work teams getting together, newly formed teams, and teams that work in high-stress environments that need a fun-focused activity.
10. Field Trips & STEM Programs
If you’re a teacher looking for stem activities or stem ideas; the chair of a science, technology, engineering, or math club or after school program; a home schooling parent looking for outdoor stem ideas; or just an organizer that wants to treat your school to an exciting day out, ziplining and expending endless energy in the trees, we can help plan the ultimate field trip that will exceed any safety expectations, keeping parents and supervisors stress-free. All participants will receive training from one of our expert Outdoor Adventure Guides and will be supervised while they practice on our low-level training site, ensuring they’re competent and all gear is properly fit before moving into the trees. One thing you don’t need to fear is our safety – zipline safety is our #1 priority and plays an important role in the STEM lesson plans that we provide! After filling their day with ziplining and high ropes obstacles, axe throwing or our outdoor escape room, Forest Escape, students and teachers will be able to choose from between our biology, physics, and geometry lessons, ranging in difficulty from beginner to intermediate and advanced lessons. We’ll provide the materials so your students can take what they did in the trees and put it into practice – the best way to retain knowledge and understand real-life applications!
And we haven’t even mentioned celebrations for new jobs, retirement party ideas, Bar Mitzvah venues, and more! The number of special occasions you can celebrate with us is limitless. Next time you need unique Mother’s Day gifts, anniversary date ideas, or things to do with kids, remember: Go Ape can give you an experience to remember.
