The adventure business, established in 2001, was also named as finalist in the Best Education/Learning Team of the Year.
The awards ceremony recognised the people and companies behind inspiring school trips.
Go Ape! saw off stiff competition from the likes of Legoland Windsor, Alton Towers and The Eden Project.
Rebecca Mayhew founder of Go Ape said: "This is the third year running we've won at these awards.
"It's really nice to be recognised by school children and teachers alike who have an amazing experience when they come on a Go Ape school trip."
Ms Mayhew said GoApe had welcomed more than 53,000 students to its sites around the country this year.
