Took the kids there on a wet weather day in the school holidays. It got busy enough for all 30 or so climbing walls to be in use but still never had to wait too long. Staff were friendly as ever. We love how the kids sleep after spending a couple of hours climbing.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A strong wet-weather school holiday pick for kids aged roughly 5 and up β€” the volume of walls keeps children moving across different routes for a full session. Staff are patient with first-timers and toddlers from age 2 are welcome.

⏰Harnesses and climbing shoes are available for hire at the front desk β€” no need to bring your own

β€œNice gym, with good set-up but the whole thing is really old. The holds are super used. Lots of space though and we had this huge gym for ourselves, there was no one. Good roofs for strength and some interesting routes.”
