Took 20 explorer scouts here for a 90min session, great time had by all. Staff were lovely, very helpful, attentive and professional. Cafe staff excellent, brought our coffees to the table and their freshly made pizza was delicious. We will be back!

I had the pleasure of my two eldest children and my nephews over the half term. We decided on rock climbing as it was wet, no surprise there!!

My kids (ages 7-13) enjoy coming here for both kids’ group sessions or occasionally to climb with me. The climbing experience is great, the staff are always friendly and helpful and there is a good coffee shop from which you can watch. I think the kids’ group sessions are quite expensive for what you get but if you can take your kid’s yourself it’s good value.
