We love climbing here. My kids are 4.5 and 6 and we’ve been here about 10 times. I’ve climbed with them too. Great setup, staff are super helpful and you can fit heaps of climbs in.

Wonderful staff and great range of walls (with clear markings, from easiest to hardest climb). My kids absolutely love to go there. We'll be back! Wish there was some kind of yearly membership available.

Amazing place for great family fun! Variable challenges for adult climbers and kids of all different level and strength. My kids loved it! And we enjoyed ourselves too. The climbs are safe and Jake was amazing and helpfull. The caving experience is pretty real and good exposure for first time experience for kids (if intend to take them to real ones). Great place for building kids confidence and to overcome fear in a fun sporting way. Highly recommended.

Could only do caving as the climbing area was booked out during the time in which we were available to attend. The caving experience was recommended for ages 6 which I would agree with. There are some slightly steeper upward/downward sections which smaller kids may need a bit of help with. Also larger kids and supervising adults beware: there are some legitimately tight sections where it is difficult to squeeze through and I briefly experienced claustrophobia! Also worth pointing out there are a few escape hatches along some parts of the caves where you can make a quick exit but I note this is not located near the tightest section. Thirty minutes for a session was definitely enough. Quite a unique experience. I would recommend wearing older clothes that are a bit thicker if you want to be kind to your elbows/knees. They recommend you don’t wear leggings (might tear) or jeans (restricts movement). Bring a hair net if you are squeamish about getting head lice from shared helmets. The caving area was not actively supervised by any staff during the time we were there. Nobody came at the allotted start time of our session so we had to let ourselves in. We asked the people already caving from the previous session and they also said they also had the same experience. By the time we left we also noticed another group of cavers letting themselves in.

It was amazing!! Its definitely not just for kids at all! The walls are pretty challenging. Only thing I dont recommend for adults is the cave experience Other than that it was amazing

Beware of the waiver you are signing! This is a great place for kids and adults to climb however I was shocked when I had to sign a waiver saying that even if by their own negligence or providing a faulty equipment, you or your child is injured or even dies, you are waiving your right to sue them as they carry no responsibility whatsoever for it! Edit: I have received a call from the owner after posting my review. He explained the issue around the insurance requirements and reassured me about the high safety standards they follow. Although he can’t change the t&c’s at this stage I was really impressed he took the time to speak with me!

My Daughter grew a lot of confidence from one particular section of a climb. The entire staff came to the bottom, encouraged her and assisted her to reach the top. She left with confidence and a sense of achievement. Great instructors who are very passionate.
