Now, this review is based on picking up race bags for the Queenstown Marathon (I'm fat and tired and did the 10km, don't judge but it's quicker to the pub and every time I do a Half Marathon I can't walk right for a few days!) Anyway, place us nice, has all the amenities and will be a lot better when eventually the finish the Francton roundabout!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This is primarily a comprehensive sports and recreation center best suited for active families with older children and teens who can participate in organized sports, climbing, and swimming. While the facilities are excellent, the reviews suggest it's more geared toward serious athletic activities rather than casual family play.

β€œLove the rock climbing gym! Rhys was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, helpful and informative, helping me and my group to feel safer and smarter about climbing. Rhys provided a phenomenal experience that I would recommend to anybody at any level of climbing. Hope to see him here for years and years to come!”
