(Without Missing Out on Fun)
Outdoor adventures are one of the best ways to stay active, make memories, and enjoy nature, but they can also get expensive fast. Between ropes courses, ziplines, and other activities, a single trip can cost $100 or more per person.
So how do you keep the adventure alive without breaking the bank? Here are the best ways to enjoy affordable outdoor fun, including one deal that makes ziplining and treetop adventures cheaper than your monthly Netflix subscription.
1. Look for Unlimited Passes Instead of Single Tickets
If you visit an outdoor adventure park more than once a season, single tickets add up quickly. At many businesses, it could cost up to $100 per person to go ziplining! That’s why the new Go Ape Membership is a game-changer.
- Unlimited visits for just $15/month
- $49.95 one-time activation fee
- Each visit pays for itself after just one trip
Instead of spending $100+ every time you visit, you could spend less than the cost of two lattes per week and enjoy unlimited ziplining, ropes courses, and treetop adventures all year long.
Bonus Savings: Members also get 20% off souvenirs and premium activities like axe throwing and the outdoor escape room, Forest Escape, plus 25% off for any guests they bring along.

2. Watch for Flash Sales and Giveaways
Another way to save money on outdoor adventures is to join mailing lists for exclusive offers. Go Ape makes this easy:
- Sign up for Go Ape emails and SMS alerts at goape.com/gifts
- Get access to flash sales, exclusive discounts, and giveaways before anyone else
- Perfect if you want to save on special trips, gift vouchers, or seasonal deals
Insider tip: Combine these deals with a Membership, and you’ll maximize both everyday savings and limited-time offers.
3. Share the Adventure (and the Discounts)
Outdoor adventures are always more fun with friends, and it turns out, more affordable too. Look into bundled Ticket Pack options, or if you have a party, reunion, field trip, or other large group, check out group rates.
Go Ape Memberships include a 25% guest discount every time you bring someone new. That means your friends get a cheaper ticket, and you get to share the thrill of the treetops.
It’s a win-win: affordable for them, unlimited fun for you.
4. Bring Your Own Gear
Where many out outdoor adventures require additional gear, like gloves or kayaks, it may save money to bring your own. Plan in advance and see if you have something – or find something used – that could still get you outside for less.
Go Ape supplies all gear, like harnesses and carabiners, with every experience so no need to worry about spending money on additional expensive gear! The only required addition is gloves, which you can bring from home.
Drinks and snacks from home will also save you in the long-run!
Think Beyond the Gym
Many people pay $50–$75 a month for a gym membership. Instead of running on treadmills indoors, imagine spending that same time climbing through the trees, ziplining, or solving outdoor escape rooms.
Not only is it cheaper ($15/month), but it also comes with the added benefits of:
- Fresh air & sunshine
- Stress relief & mental health boosts
- Full-body workouts without the machines
And thanks to Go Ape Memberships, this “outdoor gym alternative” is not just healthier, but also more affordable.
Adventure Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive
If you love ropes courses, ziplines, and outdoor fun, you don’t have to drain your wallet to keep the adventures coming. With a little planning, you can:
- Get unlimited access to Go Ape for $15/month
- Save 20% on souvenirs and activities
- Enjoy 25% off guest passes
- Score flash sales, giveaways, and discounts by signing up at goape.com/gifts
Bottom Line: For less than the cost of dinner out, you can enjoy adventure after adventure, and bring your friends along for less.
