Go Ape! Rivington
Tree Top Adventure
Go Ape is a tree top adventure based in the heart of Rivington Forest, nr Bolton. We take one lush, green forest and a healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery; blend with a smattering of tree-top high wires, tricky crossings and wind-in-your-face zip wires; finished off with a liberal dose of people in search of their inner Tarzan. The result is spectacular. The Go Ape experience gets the adrenalin pumping, gets people out of their comfort zones and above all (no pun intended), it’s just great fun. We hope to see you swinging through the trees soon!
Min Age: 10 years. Min height: 1.40m/4ft 7. Max weight 130kg/20.5 stones

Our Arena is filled with bunkers, hideaways, cages and forts that add to the challenge. The game is great to play for adults and girls and boys aged 7 years and over. The game is exciting to play, in the great outdoors and makes sure your kids have plenty of exercise. We also organise birthday parties, providing a well-structured, fully supervised mission based group sessions for your child and their friends. And to make things easier for you we offer a complete package, including optional party bags and catering, free birthday invitations, and an exclusive login area for you as a customer where you can keep track of your party.
We are based at New Pleasureland in Southport (on the location of the old Southport Zoo), but you can come to Battlefield Live independently. Or make a day of it and do both! We're open on the weekends, school holidays and bank holidays from 12pm onwards for Turn Up and Play sessions. We offer weekend morning group sessions for birthday parties, children's groups or anyone just wanting to play for a few hours. Just give us a call to book onto these sessions. We can also offer after school sessions.
