Nestled within the spectacular, historic grounds of "The Loveliest Castle in the World," Go Ape Leeds Castle offers one of the best outdoor adventure activities in Kent. It's the county's top destination for action-packed family days out, thrill-seekers, and adrenaline junkies alike. Home to three high ropes experiences and a specialised axe-throwing range, it's the perfect place to push your limits, conquer your fears, and soar through the treetops. The perfect destination for an unforgettable family adventure near Maidstone.
Treetop Challenge
This is the big one - a heart-pumping, self-guided experience through the canopy that clocks in at 2 - 3 hours of pure adrenaline. Expect to conquer daring heights, master wobbly crossings, leap off free-fall Tarzan swings and race down high-speed ziplines. It's the ultimate forest adventure - physically demanding, mentally testing, and guaranteed to push you well outside of your comfort zone.
Treetop Adventure
The perfect first taste of high ropes. Specially designed for little climbers as young as four, this is a brilliant family day out. Enjoy a jam-packed hour in the treetops made up of tricky crossings all leading up to an epic zip wire finale - guaranteed to evoke screams of laughter. It's all about building confidence, finding your feet, and having a blast in the trees.
Treetop Adventure Plus
Ready to level up? A step up for those who've mastered the basics and want a bit more adventure. You'll get all the feel-good fun of Treetop Adventure - and then some. It's the sweet spot between beginner thrills and full-blown adrenaline, perfect for building up to the big leagues. Designed specifically with older children and daring families in mind, it's an action-packed hour you won't forget.
Axe Throwing
Trade the treetops for a target as you channel your inner warrior in the castle grounds. Whether you're a complete beginner or a natural-born slinger, our qualified instructors are on hand to teach the tricks of the trade (hint: it's more finesse than force). As the session heats up, games and challenges will test every adventurer's aim in pursuit of that all-important bullseye. Equal parts stress-relief and bragging rights, it's an "axe-cellent" way to master a new skill - the only question is who'll be crowned champion.
