Children under the age of 5 are not permitted to climb in the main area - our kids only climbing room called The Wild is designed for children aged 1–10 years.
For indoor bouldering, all you need is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag – both are available to rent from reception upon arrival.
Wear comfortable, flexible activewear — like leggings, shorts, and a T-shirt. Avoid anything too loose or restrictive to keep movement easy and safe.
Most climbers boulder for 1–2 hours. If you’re a beginner, you may tire sooner. With a Climbing Day Pass there is no time limit; you can climb for as long as you like during our opening hours.
If you can climb a flight of stairs, you’re fit enough to start climbing! Minimal fitness is needed for bouldering, and most beginners find that technique improves faster than strength.
