What to Wear & Weather Suitability

As an outdoor, all-weather attraction, Go Ape operates through rain and sunshine alike! You should dress in sensible, comfortable outdoor layers that you don’t mind getting muddy or covered in tree bark. If a seasonal drizzle rolls in, it often adds to the wild atmosphere as long as you have waterproofs packed. Sturdy, enclosed footwear with excellent grip is mandatory—sandals, open-toes, slip-ons, and high heels are strictly forbidden. Bringing a pair of close-fitting climbing gloves is also highly recommended for the ropes.

Explore Moors Valley Country Park

Positioned just 10 miles north of Bournemouth’s beaches, Moors Valley Country Park is a celebrated, award-winning destination welcoming over 750,000 visitors every year. Spanning across hundreds of acres of beautiful pine forest and manicured parkland, it offers an incredible mix of free activities and amenities for a full family day out.

Children will love exploring the two massive adventure play areas, featuring dedicated play zones for older kids equipped with zip slides, a climbing boulder, a giant space net, and a wooden fortress. Younger toddlers can enjoy a separate area with lower slides and swings. Don’t miss the famous pushchair-friendly Play Trail, packed with creative wooden structures like the *Snake Pit* and *Timber*, or take a stroll along the spectacular Tree Top Trail walkway hanging five metres above the forest floor.

The park is also a haven for self-paced exploration, boasting miles of waymarked walking paths and dedicated cycling loops suitable for all abilities. Visitors can bring their own bikes or easily rent them from the on-site cycle hub. Whether you bring a family picnic to enjoy on the lakeside lawns or stop off for a warm meal at the park’s resident restaurant, Moors Valley makes the perfect companion to your Go Ape booking.
