Rockville, Maryland

Go Ape can get busy, especially on weekends and holidays. Booking your adventure in advance ensures you get your preferred time slot. If you move fast, we recommend getting in early when there are fewer guests on the course.

Wear fully enclosed shoes, athletic clothing, and gloves (required—bring your own or purchase on-site). Avoid loose items and tie back long hair. Phones are allowed if securely attached (can purchase at check-in) and ensure pockets are empty.

Eat a protein-rich meal and stay hydrated the day before and of your reservation. Go Ape is a physically active activity, and you’ll want to be hydrated and have stable blood sugar to stay safe!

Water is available throughout your adventure and additional drinks are available for purchase, such as Sports drinks. Bring athletic gloves (or purchase at site), sunscreen, bug spray, and any medical necessities you have, such as epipens, if needed. We do not recommend bringing anything that can fall into the forest, such as hats and sunglasses. Leave your belongings at home or in your car; we can keep hold of your car keys. Phones can be brought into the trees if they are securely attached to you. Phone holders are available for purchase at site.

Make the most of your visit by combining your Go Ape adventure with other local activities. Discounts are available for Axe Throwing, Forest Escape, Gorilla Golf and more when purchased with a treetop activity.

For a quieter experience, consider visiting on weekdays when the park is less crowded. On weekends, arriving earlier in the day can help you avoid the midday rush and enjoy cooler temperatures.

Explore the beautiful trails and picnic areas in Rock Creek Regional Park before or after your Go Ape adventure, or enjoy a serene walk around the Lake Needwood. Rent a paddleboat for a relaxing time on the water.

Local favorites include Carmen’s Italian Ice for a sweet treat and Urban Hot Pot or La Brasa Latin Cuisine for a hearty post-adventure meal – just minutes from Rock Creek Regional Park.

The park is accessible via local bus routes. Check the Montgomery County Transit website for schedules and routes.
