Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park

Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park Chicago is an outdoor aerial adventure venue in Bemis Woods at 1100 Ogden Avenue in Western Springs, Illinois. The official page places it about 30 minutes from downtown Chicago and lists free parking at the forest preserve. This is the Chicago-area Go Ape location, not the Indianapolis course described in the former copy.

Outdoor Adventures is the correct KidPaths category because families move independently through forest-based zipline, bridge, net, and obstacle experiences.

Treetop Adventure is the longest and most demanding aerial option. Go Ape describes a self-paced course with 45 obstacles, ziplines up to 553 feet, and platforms as high as 43 feet. It is for participants age 10 and older who are at least 4 feet 7 inches tall and weigh no more than 285 pounds.

Youth ages 10 through 15 require one participating adult age 18 or older for every two youth. Current pricing is $66.95 for ages 16 and older and $55.95 for ages 15 and younger. The Chicago page describes a two-to-three-hour experience.

Treetop Journey is a one-hour introduction with 24 obstacles, a longest zipline of 194 feet, and platforms up to 30 feet. The page lists no minimum age, a minimum height of 3 feet 3 inches, and a maximum weight of 285 pounds. Children age five and younger require one participating adult for every two children.

Ages six through 15 require adult supervision from the course or ground, with no ratio published on the Chicago page. Current pricing is $36.95 per person.

Treetop Nets is a 1,800-square-foot elevated net playground as high as 25 feet, with treehouses, giant slides, and bouncy nets. It is listed for ages two and older at $19.95 per person, with a 285-pound maximum weight. Children ages two through four require one participating adult for every two children.

Ages six through 15 require one adult to supervise up to six youth from the ground or in the nets. The Chicago page does not state a Nets rule for age five, so confirm that case directly before booking.

Gloves are required for Treetop Adventure and Treetop Journey. Fully enclosed shoes are required for those courses and Treetop Nets. The listed products use empty-pocket and secured-phone rules, and Go Ape operates cash free. Choose the exact activity before reserving because age, height, adult participation, duration, equipment, and price differ materially.

At current posted rates, four eligible Treetop Journey participants cost $147.80 before required gloves. Two adults and two youth on Treetop Adventure cost $245.80 before required gloves. Four eligible Treetop Nets participants cost $79.80. Those are separate product examples, not interchangeable packages. Confirm every participant's eligibility and the adult supervision plan before paying.
