★★★★★Featured review by FOOKES RANGITEWIWINI

I went to Extreme Edge with my nephew and friend. It costed me $21 for my nephew to enter he is 8 year's old, my friend and I did not have to pay. The facility itself was a huge Warehouse and had two sections of rock climbing that displayed very colourful and varied themes on the rock climbing wall based on fairytale stories and nursery rhymes which was great fun for the children and I was very impressed. The Instructors are there to show the children what to do. After I paid the entry fee they put him in a harness and gave him instructions how to click onto the pole from his harness and hoist himself onto the rock climbing base and lift himself upwards to climb.. although at first I found it helpful before each climb I needed to remind my nephew again what he should do before he embarked on climbing the wall to ensure maximum safety. I think it's helpful you support the smaller children especially to click the pole onto their harness which I found to be quite heavy. Overall I found it an all empowering experience for children who were free to use their initiative as it eliminates fear and instils confidence that they are 💯 in control... There was an Air Hockey table where my nephew and friend played a challenging game to their heart's content. It was a lot of fun and it costs $2 a game lol.. There were table and chairs for resting or where you could have snacks or lunch and they have a drinks machine and coffee is available. We spent an exhilirating two hours there. In every event it was great exercise and a wonderful experience for child and adult to bond in a good place.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A climbing venue that works well for mixed-ability families — younger children build confidence on the colourful themed automated walls while older kids progress to the full lead and bouldering areas.

Excellent place to come as a family or birthday party there's sitting inside to watch the kids there is a kid's climbing wall area there is an adult's climbing wall area there's outside sitting on a park bench. Plenty of parking what's in the premises easy to get to. Toilet nice and clean. Staff frendly and happy to help. Really enjoyed going. Once you by your tickets you can come and go the hole day.

My 10 and 12 year old boys had a great time. They've done a little bit of climbing before but here they were able to move from an automated harness for kids walls and progress on to proper rock climbing walls with parents being belayers. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We all had a blast and if you have adventurous kids, I'm sure you will too.

Amazing place for the whole family to have fun, I took my kids here to get confidence and to help with overcoming there fears of heights and to try something new, both my kids loved it and want to go back again, because there is a few of us we got in on a family pass. Was a fair price. Will be back again.
