Testimonials

A new Christmas tradition made for our ever growing family. Kids from 6-13 and Adults too ALL loved every second of our time at Tree tops. The guys were nothing but fantastic and happily listened to help the SEN members of the group and the ones finding it challenging. I cannot recommend enough!

We attended today with The National Autistic Society South Glos and had a brilliant time. Ben and team made us feel really welcome and kept the safety demonstration fun and not too overwhelming. For many this was a completely new experience and challenge. Thank you for a great time and we would love to come again.

Katy R

The staff were immediately friendly and gave us amazing attention and especially as we had children with extra needs. The whole space is well designed and at no point did any of our children feel unsafe. Absolutely recommend!

Philip M

A really lovely calm, fun and exhilaratingly experience. We had a couple of people who were initially really anxious and what was lovely was no- one felt rushed to get over their fears…. And they did get over them in the end! The staff were really patient. It’s a beautiful area of woodland, I think it’s the loveliest high rope experience I’ve seen.
