I booked a party for 10 at Go Ape Alexandra Palace on Saturday 10th July 2021 for my 9 year old son.

The booking didn't run as smoothly as I'd like because most of the dates were fully booked (probably a good sign) & the staff on the 'helpline' weren't too helpful.

This was the second time I'd booked a party here (the first one was two years ago).

I approached the booking window & had a nice welcome from Alex. She gave me all of the information that I needed.

When it was time for the children to start their Go Ape session, we were greeted by two amazing members of staff, Raz & Abida.

They were both very welcoming, informative, providing a positive attitude & good body language, maintaining eye contact during conversations (despite the background distractions).

Both Raz & Abida were really understanding when some of the guests arrived late & they tried to help me as much as possible.

I have to say that I was very impressed with Raz in particular who tried his utmost best to help the late comers by trying to get them to join the children who were already using the facilities.

Raz provided a good example/guide to the children. He was patient & a really good peoples person with both children & adults.

Having good, positive members of staff like Raz & Abida makes all the difference when you book a party for your child & you want all to run smoothly.

Considering this is our second time here, the experience this time round due to Raz made such a difference. Raz left assuring me he'd be around for any further help or guidance that I might need, again, amazing customer service.

The children had a great time, loved the facilities and had a picnic on the grass and lots of time to play afterwards.

Overall it was an amazing, great experience after a long period of...

This was first time at Go Ape.

The reception area is either very empty or very busy.

The groups tend to get bunched up in time as there are always late arrivals etc.

At the entrance to each respective route, the staff try very hard to be very slow to pace the people and spread them evenly as they finally enter.

But in realise this is very frustrating as kids do not want to wait around, it took us 45 minutes from completing check-in to actually being clipped into the route. The safety practice took 5 minutes, the rest was waiting around.

Staff use this "launch area" to be as slow as possible to space out the groups, which is fine, but at least maybe try to make it fun for the people while they are waiting around. There was zero enthusiasm and that negative energy could be easily felt.

Once you are on your route it's luck of the draw how quick you will progress depending on whether you are in front of your group or stuck in the middle or back behind less adventurous / experienced or simply afraid of heights people.

Eventually (after the first hour) it was fun and we were able to move quicky after all the slow / afraid people in the front decided to stop.

We have been to similar climbing centers elsewhere in the world, and what helps everyone's enjoyment is having the ability to overtake / let people pass you by on the platforms. This is simply achieved by having the cables go around both ways.

Otherwise its impossible to create a safe non-pressured environment for inexperienced guests and remove the frustration for those that are confident and want to go fast.

The facilities otherwise are pretty big and have all the usual kinds of obstacles as you normally find at a...
