About

If your kids are past the playground phase and craving something with a real edge, Go Ape in Arlington is one of the best outdoor adventure experiences in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Located in North Arlington, this tree-top ropes course puts participants on high rope bridges, Tarzan swings, and ziplines winding through an actual forest canopy , not a simulated indoor environment.

Why Kids Love It

Go Ape Arlington is a tree-top adventure course with ziplines, Tarzan swings, and rope bridges that gives older kids and teens a genuine adrenaline rush in a real forest setting. There's a real sense of accomplishment when they reach the end, it's not a manufactured indoor experience but actual tree canopy adventure. The guides are encouraging without being babying, which tweens especially appreciate.
