    It is time!!!
    Kari W.

    This place is absolutely wonderful! How did I not know it was here sooner!!! I had an absolute blast!!! I went by myself but met people as I went through the course. My experience of bonding with new people as I went through the course lead me to believe that this place would make for a spectacular corporate outing. I will definitely be bringing a group of friends here in the near future and so should you!

    Incredible experience! Not for the weak or faint of heart, does take some strength and agility. Great fun!

    We had a fantastic time here. The workers at Go Ape did great at providing instructions on how to stay latched onto the course and how to land during zip lining as this is not the usual zip line you might be used to. I had a small incident where I jumped a bit too far back during one of the Zipline courses and fell off the platform but luckily I was latched on and one of the workers told me to place my feet back on the area. This course is for those who are more in shape and athletic as you are using your upper body strength for at least 2.5 hours the entire time. There are a total of 5 courses. Everything is taken at your own pace with options of difficult or extreme and it is a self guided course tour with the workers walking around at the bottom to make sure things are going okay. Overall I did feel safe just felt exhausted after finishing. They do have a kids course too which we saw a bit at the end which is good to know for those who may want to bring their kids. Indoor restrooms are available onsite, there are water stations at each course, gloves are required and can be bought at GoApe.

    I have been a quite a few just ziplining parks. This one offers a couple of good additions to be "just ziplining". With the trolley system, your group is allowed to be independent and travel at your own pace. You don't have to wait for your staff member to be your source of entertainment. This also allows your group to switch order and chat with each other and share the adventure. Most "events" have two paths which you can take - extreme or moderate. This allows your group to stay together and enjoy the park even if you have people of different levels or courage levels. You can also repeat events and prolonged your adventure. My group of 6 took 3 hrs to complete our adventure bc we did repeat some events. My favorite events - zipline (of course) and the Tarzan swing.

    Tons of fun was had. We did the smaller 1 hour Tree top adventure but this was great for our family. The staff was super friendly. The only reason we didnt give 5 stars would be when calling ahead I was never informed that we had to purchase gloves separately. And she gave us a couple some other misleading info. But staff on-site was wonderful. And all in all the time spent was very memorable. We will be back!

    We had a great time and definitely going to come back again! I also made a vlog about my GoApe Adventure here if anyone want to check it out! https://youtu.be/HaTwZZy82ik

    I had an amazing time at goApe.... it was a first for me and it helped me with my fear of heights. The instructors were very helpful and encouraging and there for you the whole time. The only negative was that zone 3 was closed for construction, and they didn't give a discount on the tickets due to that inconvenience.

    Go Ape was definitely full of fun! It was my first time zip lining & completing an outdoor obstacle course. Booked online & then found a coupon code. (Use 'Insta' for 10% off) Called & they applied the discount even though it was after my initial booking, which was nice. Then, I called again the morning of & changed my appointment time. No hassle customer service, two thumbs up. Now for the thrill! I was nervous at the start of the day. They give a thorough run down of the how to hook yourself up with the harness. I'm not gonna lie. At the beginning of the day I thought it was a lot to remember & feared I'd fall off the zip line if I didn't remember one of the many steps. But, they have a mini zip line at the start of the course. This allowed me to practice hooking myself up & I felt comfortable before starting the real thing. There are 5 obstacle courses, all which end with a zip line. The obstacles get more intense as you proceed. But, the reward is so sweet ..longer & higher zip lines. It was a fantastic view & waaay too much fun. The prices are reasonable for a full morning/afternoon of excitement. I only have 1 real complaint. There are no more than about 10 people who start the course at the same time. I imagine they start a new group of people every 30 minutes. Well, there were many times where we would catch up to the next group..causing us to have to wait for them to finish that course before we could even start. It took us 4 hours to complete the course, but it could have been closer to 1.5 hrs without all of the waiting. My advice, start each group at least 1 hour apart. Should you Go Ape? You'd be missing out if you didn't!

    Took my wife on an anniversary date....a little breakfast, then some time swinging in the tree's! We had a blast....it's nice to find something for active people to do in a Midwest town, that doesn't involve watching other people play sports. The obstacles are fun, your always tethered in, so climb on!

    One of the obstacles is to crawl through this, while suspended in air.

    This place is fantastic and so much fun! Be forewarned: this isn't JUST zip lining -- it's obstacle zip lining! Meaning, you will be completing obstacles, total of five courses, each with their unique obstacles, and each course has its own zip line at the end -- when you've finished the obstacles. Consider it your reward! The zip line takes you to the next course. The obstacles range from novice to expert, some of the times you can choose if you want to take an easier or tougher route and the signs will point that out for you. For all the obstacles, you are suspended in the air and it will be workout -- prepared to be sore or possibly lightly bruised, depending on how you handle the ropes and obstacles. When you book your time to come visit this place, it will take between 2.5-3.5 hours, so plan accordingly. The instructors do an excellent job of training and walking you step-by-step through the safety process and how to properly complete the obstacles and zip line. The training class takes about 20-30 minutes and then it starts to get repetitive after you have to keep doing it. So if you're a slow learner, that's okay! You'll have to keep doing it on each obstacle that it will become muscle memory. The training staff is fun, personable and knowledgable. Also, they are patent with repeat questions and peoples phobias of heights, but are reassuring and follow you through it all -- keep in mind, they won't be next to you, rather below you watching you up top, but will answer an questions you have during the courses. This place is located in the beautiful Swope Park (where the KC Zoo is) and has stunning views of tree lines and a nice green scenery. which is a bonus when you're zip lining through the serene trees. I can't wait to come back and do this again.

    We finished!

    I came here over the weekend with some friends, I thought it was going to be just a bunch of zip lining.

    My family and I went to Blade & Timber this weekend for Father's Day - honestly it felt like we…read morewere running low on ideas for family activities, and so we decided to give this a try. I'm glad we did - it was a fun, casual, easy outing to celebrate the holiday. The reason for the average review is mostly for the price. We paid $112 for 4 people for an hour and a half, which feels steep to me - this is definitely not something I'd want to pay for outside of a special occasion. Additionally, they request tips for your coach/server on not just your food/drink bill - but on the bill for the entire experience, making your tip at least $25 on top of your total. If you order drinks, you're not escaping here for under $200. I want our server to be fairly tipped, but tipping that much more for what was essentially a 5-minute how-to at the beginning of our experience feels a little rich. All that said, our coach was very friendly. The facility is well-maintained and clean. I do like the layout, with tables at the end of each lane where you can sit with your party. They have a nice booklet of suggested games to try - which really help give some structure to what would otherwise be an hour and a half of throwing an axe. It is also nice that they still allow you up to 3 alcoholic beverages while throwing weapons - haha. The 1.5 hour session is the perfect amount of time - it allowed just to play 2 full games, and throw around for a while. In the last 15 minutes or so, we were feeling like we definitely had our fill. Axe-throwing is really something you only need to do once, or maybe every couple of years, but we had a good time.

    My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Blade & Timber! Our coach, TJ, was great and made sure…read morewe were comfortable and knew what to do before turning us loose and was never too far away if we needed anything. I wasn't quite sure about this activity and how I'd like it, but I ended up loving it! It was so much fun and I can't wait to go back! There were plenty of other groups there at the same time as us, but we all had more than enough space to hang out and throw.

    Kids and I had a blast at BRKTHROUGH when we visited KC. Our group was me and my two sons (14,…read more12). At BRKTHROUGH, you compete in challenge rooms (there are 40 of them, although a couple were unavailable during our visit) - they last a minute or longer, and are categorized as Physical (requiring speed, agility, coordination, etc), Mental (brainpower, trivia, memory, and puzzle-solving), or Skill (precision, dexterity, patience). The descriptors above came from the BRKTHROUGH website, but I can confirm that they are descriptive of the challenges. The room type/difficulty is shown on a triangle, so they are often a combination of two items (for example, mostly physical with some skill-based components). Every room is scored based on your completion (or lack, thereof) out of 100 points. You can redo rooms as often as you like, keeping the highest score. Your team has an RFID wristband to enter the rooms. Your goal is to earn as many points as you can during the time period you paid for (we did 2 hours). Not only do you try to get your best score, there is a leaderboard to show how you are doing against the other teams in the building. You can earn a prize if you obtain a certain minimum score, or win against the other groups. Other than the boys arguing over strategies, we had a good time. Even with young kids, we were able to complete a lot of the rooms. There are plenty of rooms that could be completed by those with physical limitations, but obviously not all of them. We had a good time and the time flew by. There is also a bar and restaurant and a few games to play after your time is up. We had a blast and would definitely return again! , with live leaderboards tracking everyone in the building. You can read more about the activities or book your session on
