Dress for Adventure (and the Weather!)
Fall is one of the most beautiful times to visit Go Ape. Crisp air, colorful leaves, and fewer crowds make it a perfect season for treetop adventures. But what you wear can make or break your experience, so here’s how to gear up like a pro.
Fall Outfit Checklist for Go Ape
Fully Enclosed Shoes: Wear sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes with good grip. No sandals, crocs, Chacos, or the-like! Your feet need to be secure for climbing and ziplining.
Layers Are Your Best Friend: Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a fleece or hoodie, and top it off with a lightweight, weather-resistant jacket. You’ll warm up as you move, so avoid bulky coats.
Flexible, Fitted Pants: Leggings, joggers, or athletic pants are ideal. Avoid jeans or anything too loose that could get caught in harnesses.
Lightweight Gloves: For extra grip and warmth, especially on chilly mornings. Go Ape also has gloves available for purchase on site.
Leave the Bags Behind: You won’t be able to carry a backpack on the course. Use zippered pockets or leave valuables in your car. If you want to grab great pictures, snag a phone holder from Go Ape when you arrive.
Bonus Tips
- Tie back long hair
- Remove dangling jewelry
- Bring a change of clothes if it’s muddy or rainy
- Don’t forget your sense of adventure!
