So brilliant! Daughter (8) spent 3 hours climbing, first time she went! (OMG she slept that night!! 🤩) The staff were super supportive and really knew their stuff. You do need one person to belay (hold the rope) while the other climbs, but it isn't hard to do and I didn't have to pay to get in, if I am just belaying. Free-climb walls are super fun and the floor is padded so that even adults can fall without hurting themselves. I will definitely be back!!
🏆 Family Action Verdict

“We were in Wellies for a short time and my son LOVED this place. He climbed for 6 hours. He had so much fun. It was interactive with parents. The team are so knowledgeable and so safety focused!! They are friendly and give tips to the climbers the whole time. It was really a great outing. And sooooo affordable for the amount of time they let us stay. We will definitely come back every time we in Wellington”

“Experience was great! Tutor was very knowledgeable and explanations were clear. We did not go as far as expected so we will probably book another trip later on. Thanks for everything. Isabelle Hope”
