Life is just better among the trees. Think about it. As kids, most of us loved to hang out in our (if we were lucky) or our friends’ treehouses. If we didn’t have a treehouse, we usually couldn’t resist climbing our favorite tree, and is there any better place to fall asleep on a summer afternoon than under the shade of a tree? Go ahead. Channel that childhood love of the trees with a visit to this adventure park in Missouri.
Play among the trees – and cross several incredible canopy walks – at Go Ape in Kansas City, a seasonal treetop adventure park that’s a thrill seeker’s dream come true.
Tucked among the trees of Swope Park, Go Ape boasts a full menu of fun, but its most popular activity is, arguably, the Treetop Adventure that features 45 – yep, you read right! – obstacles.
Your journey will include crossing some of the longest canopy walks and suspension bridges in Missouri – do you dare look down? – and soaring through the sky on ziplines and on swings.
If you’re not sold yet, consider this. The longest zipline clocks in at 475 feet. That’s 475 feet of heart-pounding excitement as you fly high above the ground. Oh, the highest platform on the adventure course? Forty-five feet.
The Treetop Journey, on the other hand, is perfect for adventurers who are six and older. It’s a bit smaller with 25 obstacles, and the longest zipline will take you on a 190-foot journey.
