Treetop Challenge

The ultimate high ropes course for adults, teenagers, and older children over 1.4m tall, the Treetop Challenge at Alexandra Palace tests your balance to the max. Prepare for up to 90 minutes of challenging crossings, aerial stirrups, and high-velocity zip wires that send you flying with the city skyline as your backdrop.

Treetop Adventure & Treetop Adventure Plus

Younger climbers over 1m tall can safely conquer their fears on the entry-level loops of the Treetop Adventure course. For older children, pre-teens over 1.2m tall, and taller thrill-seekers looking to push their coordination further, the Treetop Adventure Plus extension introduces higher platforms, tougher crossings, and a rewarding zip wire finish.

What to Wear & Gear Guidelines

You should wear comfortable outdoor clothes that you don’t mind getting covered in tree bark, dust, or mud. The course is fully outdoors and operates through rain and sunshine alike, so prepare for changeable and wet weather conditions. If a sudden shower rolls in, it simply adds to the urban adventure as long as you’ve packed suitable waterproof layers! Your footwear must be sturdy and closed-toe for safety, meaning sandals, slip-ons, open toes, or high heels are strictly banned. Bringing a tight pair of climbing gloves is also a great idea.

A Spectacular Family Day Out in North London

Nestled in the heart of North London, Alexandra Palace promises year-round fun for all ages. Opened over 150 years ago, the grand park spans 196 acres and features an exceptional mix of formal gardens, public spaces, and peaceful woodlands alongside the high-flying Go Ape trails.

There’s absolutely no shortage of activities to enjoy here. You can take to the park Boating Lake with a fleet of fun pedalos for a relaxing trip on the water, or challenge your skills on the Pitch and Putt golf course. For something a little cooler, glide across the grand indoor Ice Rink or test your moves at the on-site community skate park.

When it’s time for a break, the Boathouse Café and East Court Café are just a short stroll away, offering a tasty selection of sandwiches, pastries, fresh cakes, and both hot and cold drinks, making it the perfect way to refuel after your high ropes climb.
