Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
Go Ape's entry-level high ropes course sends younger children and their grown-up up into the forest canopy to cross wobbly bridges, scramble through obstacles and finish on a zip line. It runs at more than 25 forest sites across the UK on a continuous belay system, so you are attached the whole way round. Sessions last about an hour.
Why it works for a dad and child
For under-sixes a parent has to climb too, so you are problem-solving each crossing together and cheering each other down the zip. It turns a nervous first wobble into a shared win.
