Go Ape stands out for its commitment to safety and creating spaces for connection, courage, and teamwork. Our courses are set in stunning natural environments, unlike other parking lot and indoor zipline and obstacle courses, and we prioritize safety while encouraging personal achievement. We partner with the parks we reside and give back to our local communities through revenue shares and non-profit ticket donations. We offer a unique blend of physical challenge and emotional connection that sets us apart. Go Ape is also the industry leader in safe outdoor high-ropes and ziplining experiences.

Go Ape is dedicated to environmental conservation – it’s one of our core values. We honor the outdoors by fostering respect and adventure in everything that we do, and we take steps to minimize our impact on the environment through everything from how our courses are built and maintained to our ongoing volunteer activities. Our courses are designed to blend seamlessly with nature, and we promote sustainable practices. Our teams also take part in frequent stewardship projects throughout the year, including trail maintenance projects, invasive species removals, tree plantings, litter clean-ups, and native wildlife preservation practices.

In the mid-2000s, our founders were looking to launch a business with a vision of giving back to our local communities through outdoor adventure and environmental stewardship. They stumbled upon a network of zip line and aerial adventure courses in the UK and formed a partnership to bring the idea to the United States. Frederick, Maryland became home base for the team, and their vision sprung to life with the very first Go Ape USA course in Rockville, Maryland in 2010. Flash forward to today, Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Parks can be found throughout the country and expands every year. Over the years, we have grown to become a leading provider of outdoor adventure experiences, with locations across the country.

Yes, there are age and height restrictions for some of our activities to ensure safety. Please check the specific requirements for each activity on your local Go Ape’s location page before booking.
