This was so much fun and better than I even expected. The website doesn't do it justice. Its challenging, but has options for easier courses. My son, who is afraid of heights did great and adjusted quickly. We went during the week so it wasnt busy and we didnt have to wait on anything. read more

Such an incredible experience! I would definitely recommend this to a friend (I wish we had something similar in Seattle). I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. My boyfriend and I went together and had an incredible time... This is definitely on the list of coolest things I've done! Good bonding/team building activity and totally worth the money. There are five courses you complete, each one ending with a zip line. I am not a fan of heights and was really nervous at the beginning, but got used to the height pretty quickly. This is definitely a physical challenge (the zip line part is about 5% of the course), but a total blast, and all the courses were doable. There's ice water at the beginning of each course, which is great because you don't need to carry a bottle around. The instructors are great and provide a 20ish minute training at the beginning so that you know the safety protocols and feel comfortable in the course. They would check on us throughout the course and were very friendly and encouraging. We went at 9am on a sunny day and it wasn't as hot as we expected (the courses are mostly in shade). Be sure to wash any sunscreen or lotion off of your hands because you want to have a good grip! I wouldn't recommend short shorts either (capri leggings were the perfect amount of coverage, since you wear a harness and are often climbing through nets). read more

More rigorous then anticipated. Overall I had a great time with my friends the only downside is that the staff was non existent. After the second course we were practically on our own which was very dangerous because people were still struggling with the sequence. This place has great potential but needs a new set of procedures to operate the establishment. read more

Looking for an adventure for the family? Go Ape is the place. We anticipated a few climbing obstacles and a couple ziplines. Wrong! Five different sections of the course had multiple obstacles followed by a unique zipline. We had a 12-, 21- and 53-year-old in our group and it took us 3 hours from start to finish. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Assistance throughout the course was available but not intrusive. In all, we had a blast. Be sure to check out at the trailer and get your completion certificate before you leave. If you return, it's good for a free T-shirt and water bottle. We will definitely be back! read more

Very fun! I took my boyfriend for his birthday and it was a great experience. I also visit the reserve it sits on often now.

Poor customer service. We had reservations for Saturday morning for a BIRTHDAY party. We think they double booked and tried to cover their end by blaming it on us. Turns out the call center messed up the reservation, and did not get the email correct for confirmation. We get to go ape, and apparently missed our time, then they tell us there was nothing they could do. Nothing?! Not even a confirmation call 15min after they realized 'we were running late' or not coming. In that case we would have got up there SOONER. Really missed the mark, with no accommodation or solution. And even poorer service with their 'customer service call center.' I would drop names, but I'm going to corporate. read more

Go ape Plano is a great spot to enjoy an afternoon outdoors doing something fun. We actually made our reservations for the wrong day, they were in the process of closing up when we came in and promptly turned around and opened up what they had already shut down to accommodate us (it was just 2 of us, not a giant group). We were the only customers at that time and they didn't rush us thru, act annoyed or give us anything but a great experience. A++++ customer service. I'm a pretty seasoned adrenaline junky so this was more a relaxing afternoon in the woods for me, however my girlfriend really really enjoyed the excitement of it as she's never done anything like that before. I would absolutely go again. read more

This was a lot of fun! I would recommend eating before you go since you will use a lot of energy during the course. Water is supplied at each station and if it's hot don't miss the opportunity to hydrate! The training was excellent and the staff is very nice and very helpful. The course was challenging but there are choices of easier or more difficult tasks along the way. When we started we were confident that we would take the most challenging course, but at station number 4 we chose the easier route. It was still a challenge, so we didn't feel like we wimped out at all. I did bring gardening gloves along and used them a bit. They were a nice option to have. What I liked most about this course was you were on your own to go at your own pace. Help was always close by, so we felt totally safe at all times. I'm planning to do this again soon! read more

Probably one of the worst customer service expirence i have ever delt with. myself and my friend were supposed to go at noon for the treetop adventure course. Instead of them calling earlier in the day to inform us that they were going to be closed due to weather related issues, they waited 25 mins before we was supposed to arrive. read more

I was the spectator in our group of four (3 participants). All had a great time and enjoyed the course. Only 3stars because of the following: -- At check-in, the guy at the window asked the kids if they wanted gloves. All said yes and then he says $6.50 each, please. (no "used" gloves apparently( -- The total group for our time slot was 10. 4 folks together, and two groups of 3). The group of 4went first and they were SOOOOO SLOOOOW. We did a lot of standing around waiting because the first group just could not get the hang of the safety clips. The group of 3 that were behind my friends finally skipped and went ahead because of the slowness. -- Very little staff around to speed up the process. Overall, lots of fun for the participants. read more

Fun and great exercise for the family! I didn't know it can take up to 3 hrs but we finished in 2 hours. Wear bug spray and sunscreen. There's a water station at each area. This is not only zip lining but also a ropes course. Highly recommend! read more

Fun experience lots of challenging obstacles and each site is filled w thrills! The staff was extremely helpful and enthusiastic. Brandon is the mvp, he stuck out for us and took his time finding something we lost. He's an amazing worker! read more

hi i'm onion rings boy, right off the bat they already gave our group nicknames " walk ons " so it was cool. kory at the front was very nice & helpful all through the sign up process. then he handed our humor over to isabel & she helped us through the whole course. on top of her being cute she was super helpful & fun through it all given the insane humidity. near the end becca helped me on the zip line she was super nice too gave us ice cold gatorades & water. would recommend for everyone wanting a great time & to deal a great staff:) read more

This was definitely an experience. A girlfriend of mine wanted to go ziplining for her birthday and chose GoApe. I did not look them up before going. The obstacle courses were news to me. They were well maintained and had water at every station. The staff was amazing and spread through-out the obstacle courses. Great guides. The next day am I sore? All. Over. It was completely and utterly worth it. We all had a blast and my best friend even conquered his fear of heights. Can't wait to return. read more

frankly it's rude to hold up one group for 20 minutes because of a "couple of stragglers" especially when they could have just gone with the next group 10 minutes later - read more

We had a great time for our Father's Day event! Check out the whole blog at www.travelandtable.com!

Our family went opening weekend. Plan on 3-4 hours of activity. The course is challenging and fun. It has many challenging sky bridges, two Tarzan swing lines and five zip lines. It's a good physical workout and a good confidence booster for tackling the first step. Bring some snacks you can carry in your pockets to re-energize. There are water stations along the way. Wear work gloves and hiking boots. read more

Absolutely great experience! Kids had a great time. Staff was very friendly and professional. One of the kids in our group had trouble getting through one of the obstacles, the staff handled the situation safely and the kid was able to finish the course with confidence. Hope to come back soon! read more

My son and I were excited to go zip lining however, this was so much more. We were slow to get the hang of it and had a wonderful and patient guide. The course is awesome and love that you can create your own difficulty level. I need to focus on my fitness and what an awesome way to break up the monotony of going to the gym. BRAVO! read more

Don't waste your time. We have been here an hour and a half and are still waiting on line to go on the first "challenge" we paid for 3 hours and we have not been on one zip or rope course. What a rip off. read more

Such an awesome experience!! My 13 year old son, my mom, and I all had an absolute blast! It was a nice little workout as well as being great fun. We will definitely be back! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Make sure you wear gloves!! read more

What an amazing experience. We pushed our limits and felt such a sense of accomplishment. Never once felt in danger - extremely safe! Great staff, tree top nature right there in Plano and the equipment was state of the art. Well done and can't wait to go back! read more

If you're searching for an exciting outdoor adventure then this is the place for you! You get to climb 5 stations into a treetop hike (like the gravity ropes in Main Event but more intense). They have ziplines in between and at the end if each station. It's LIT!!! read more

Go Ape - I had lots of fun - Challenge Courses Near Me - Plano, Texas

I absolutely do not recommend this service due to how unprofessional they are. I paid $100 and wanted to reschedule and they could not even do that for me. They said they couldn't help me and now I lost money to an activity that I did not even get to participate in. read more

This place is horrible. The wait for everything was about 30-45 minutes. The obstacles are small, stupid, and cause injuries. You will get serious ropeburn and you will be bored instantly. When you do the ziplines, you have two options; the painless way or the painful way, and you don't get a choice. If you end facing towards the platform then you're good. If you end facing any other way, then you will scrap yourself up badly, strain your back, and get a concussion everytime you land that way. The people that work at Go Ape are rude, disrespectful, and idiotic. Instead of trying to help you, they yell at you and make you feel like an idiot. I would NOT recommend this place to anybody. read more

A very fun experience. Loved that it incorporated a little bit of muscle. There were two stops that were closed and they refunded us for any inconvenience and we didn't even ask. I though that was a very appreciated customer experience read more

Go Ape is a huge treetop obstacle course. It has zip lines, floating wood, monkey bridges etc. You have a harness and have to strap yourself to each obstacle. You're 40 feet up for the majority of the course. Be prepared to go through about 30 minutes of training prior. This course can be difficult. I do not recommend small children or the elderly attempting this. Also, bring gloves! I wish I would have! My family and I had a blast. I definitely recommend Go Ape! read more

Go Ape - So much fun!!! Reaching the end was an accomplishment! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Plano, Texas

Go ape was awesome! We did the rope course, zip-lined, and even did the Tarzan swing (make sure you do it!). Our instructor was very helpful! She was there making sure we carried along smoothly. As you go on the course, the entire group you go up with will soon venture off, depending on how fast they go and how many of them are ahead or behind you. We were the last ones so eventually we were up there by ourselves. Throughout the course you see other people but you never really think about the instructors and where they are bc you are just focused on the task at hand. It was to my surprise that that are indeed up there with you, they are just swinging on a different course, and I didn't notice that until I questioned their presence. It was a great surprise! I felt comfortable knowing that they were watching us the whole time even when I didn't realize they were. Arms were a little sore the next day, but overall one of the best ropes course I've been on! read more

Really good way to get outside and mix in a lIttle exercise. They do yet let you work the course by yourself, but that was actually part of the enjoyment. Pay attention to the tutorial, read the signs, and ask for help if needed. No, the staff is not hovering to hook you up at every station, but they are close by if you need any help. I think this freedom gave it more of an adventure feel. Zip lines are secondary to navigating the obstacles (some of which will put you in some interesting positions). If you are in a smaller group or feel that you want to move faster, try to go on the course first. We always felt safe. I highly recommend if you want to go for a hike with a little spice to it. read more

I had so much fun doing all of the obstacles, some were more challenging than others but it was great, didn't even notice how hot it was outside because the trees covered us. The staff was very helpful and nice, they made sure we knew exactly how to use our equipment and to be safe. I will definitely be back again in the future! read more

Best adventure ever! I convinced my boyfriend to go with me even though he is afraid of heights. He conquered his fears and we finished all 5 courses together. The staff does a great job of explaining instructions and addressing safety concerns. They also have staff dispersed randomly throughout the courses if you need assistance. We were pros by the 3rd course and hooking up to the cables. It took about 3 hours from the start of the reservation until we finished the last course. My entire body was sore the next day but it was well worth it. Please read the instructions in your confirmation email. It recommends gloves and I'm so glad we bought some from Walmart beforehand. I would definitely do this again one day! read more

I was so excited for this! I saw an ad on Facebook back in February and knew I had to book right away with my family! We definitely needed something fun to do in this area, and this is it. We booked opening weekend on a Sunday morning. There are 14 people per session and we were a group of 5. You go through training and then you're all on your own! The only downside I must say is that they kind of put you in orders of which group to go first. I mean it definitely makes sense for smaller groups to go before, but my aunt had work and anticipated it to be over within 2-3 hours like it said.. It took us 4 hours!!! Because we were last, there was a lot of waiting. My family kind of got impatient as the group ahead us were afraid of heights and took one hour just to finish 2 ropes crossings.. After the first part, we continued to the second part and we had a little technical difficulties. When you go on each ladder, you need to connect yourself to this little metal thing then attach yourself to the top as well. When I got to the top, the metal thing fell apart and broke so we had to wait for the workers to get a new one.. Weird that it broke the second day of opening! It was only a small convenience, as the service at Go Ape is amazing. Everyone is so kind and encouraging. My aunt got stuck twice on the courses and had to get help across lol.. I also like how they have difficult or easier options because I'm definitely not in shape to do the difficult ones! Tips for future goers: - Don't wear nice clothes. Maybe wear a long sleeve if you don't mind getting your arms a little scratched up! It's not too bad - Wear Gloves !i brought gloves but I was dumb and didn't wear it - Go early! Possibly 9am because it gets hot, and you'll get stuck behind other groups. - Bring snacks! You will get hungry. They have water at each station so no need to carry them I hope to return because it was a fun experience! read more

Our first time here and we loved it! It is not just zip lines. Many different obstacles between each station and some fun zip lines across the water. I highly recommend bringing some work gloves for the rope climbs and just in general. The instructor and guides were great and encouraging with advice on how best to scale some obstacles. You can go at your own pace and some had different challenge levels you could choose. Really had a great time! read more

Go Ape is awesome! My family and I have been there many times because it's challenging for all ages, but we can all get through and soon after finishing start anticipating our next trip. It's the first place I have ever been zip lining and now am hooked. The staff make it even better - they are encouraging, funny, friendly, and professional when it comes to safety. I love that they look out for everyone - they push the ones they know can handle it and calmly encourage the others to do things they never thought they could. Highly recommend! read more

This review is based on my experience with the office staff not the course experience. I purchased a Groupon and it was set to expire on June 30th. I scheduled my booking on June 20th and paid the online booking fee to secure June 24th. One hour prior to my reservation on Sunday, i received a call stating that my reservation was being cancelled do to an incident that had occurred at Go Apes that required them closing for the day but they would issue me a certificate to be used for a later date since my Groupon was set to expire. I thought it was resolved and i was going to wait to receive that email to rebook it but 10 mins later I received another call to inform me again that they were needing to cancel my reservation. I advised the lady that no worries i had already received and spoken to a lady prior and was waiting for the email so i could rebook it. Well she cut me off and stated that no that was wrong because i used a third party that even though it was set to expire and they were the ones canceling on me that it wasn't her problem that i needed to handle that with Groupon. She informed me that the only thing she was going to issue a certificate for was the $9.57 which is the online service charge for booking it. My response was a sound of irritation because I'm like why even do any of this, just work with me to rebook it. Her response to the noise i made was unprofessional. I didn't go off, yell, or curse. I actually was understanding in the beginning but when you are not coming with resolutions just an attitude of thats not my problem to a customer, i got irritated. All i wanted was to come to your facilities and experience what your company had to offer because i was contemplating have a department function but what i got was a bad taste in my mouth. In the end, I contacted Groupon and explained about my experience, they were understanding and issued me a credit. read more

Second visit to Go Ape in Plano in two months, each time has been a blast! So many options for every level of experience. Great staff and other participants were very encouraging and friendly. On a humid day like today, should have used mosquito repellent before heading into the woods. Real confidence booster for participants and fun way to spend a few hours with your friends or family. read more

Awesome experience. Go online make an appt. Show up about 20 mins prior to fill out a couple of consent forms. Bring gloves or buy yours there. I cant imagine doing this without them. Our super cute guide Caitlyn was so sweet and patient with us ( 4, 50yr old ladies) we had a ball with her !!! Cold water at each station. Great bonding / team building.....Enjoy and have a blast !!!! read more

So fun! Fantastic activity to do with big kids, ours are ages 16, 19 and 21. Challenging course with options to raise difficulty. Great go at your own pace place. Rough on the hands and fingers. Definitely wear clothes that can get dirty and sweaty. Don't wear white anything. Longer shorts/pants work best with continual harness wearing. read more

Hard to believe you are in the middle of an urban area like Plano. You forget what a great park Oak Point is. 24 hours later my 13 yr old asked when we can go back. Been a while since my teenager has been that excited about something involving physical exertion! We all had a blast. If you take gloves they do come in handy, make sure they aren't very thick-you need your fingers to handle the equipment. read more
