​
Top off your adventure with Stumped, Go Ape's newest ground-based activity, which is exclusive to Go Ape Dalkeith. Stumped is the fiendishly thinky-thinky, problem-solving logic game and consists of 10 puzzles that players must solve to reveal a four-digit code. Each code opens a lock box that provides a clue to the next puzzle.
​
And even better, you'll get to take in some pretty incredible scenery while you're at it. The 1000 acres of Dalkeith Country Park gives you a beautiful backdrop of ancient woodlands, gardens, historic buildings and picturesque ponds, located just two minutes away from the Edinburgh Bypass.
