Three courses, ranked for difficulty, turn ziplining into a suburban, family bonding experience

Once they’re standing on their own two feet again, they take a deep breath and launch themselves through the rope course for a second try, this time making it and celebrating with a loud cheer as I grimly follow them as fast as my battered knees will allow. I get a cheer from them, too, when I make it, and, yeah, that’s pretty fun.
Currently, they have three colored courses ranked by difficulty, though they plan to open a few more options in the near future. These include a course that has a 1000-foot zipline through the trees and another for smaller kids that parents can monitor from the ground. While I visited, everyone from adult groups of friends to little brothers and sisters were trying out the experience.
Safety is tantamount at Go Ape. A man named Parker, who previously worked as a trapeze artist and sported a magnificent waxed ringmaster mustache, meticulously checked our gear as he carefully explained each strap on the safety harness. Once he was done, we got another safety lecture and had to pass through two checkpoints where workers made sure our wristbands were marked to show we had listened and understood the rules.
