Visited today with a two friends and the children to use the action walls. My friends had arrived before me. Reception had 2 staff but both doing something on their computers godness knows what. My friend suggested rather than wait any longer I take my granddaughter to get harnassed up and ready as the other kids had already gone through. I did this and no one stopped me or asked if I'd paid nothing, this should be a concern to whoever runs this place. I left her to get sorted came back and stood at the desk waiting for some kind of acknowledgement. Finally a young lad lifted his head I explained she'd gone through and gave the booking information, at no point did he say I shouldn't have done that or apologise for not taking any notice of who is coming in and out. Then I'm asked to complete the waiver which had already been done at the time of booking but ok things happen. We then ordered some hot drinks the wait on these was a bit more than you'd expect for 4 hot drinks when no one else was waiting for anything. It just seemed like there was no urgency to attend to customers at any point during our time there. We later went for more hot drinks the wait was farcical. My granddaughter had a great time despite the waiting around to get on a wall and she would like to go again but as we are just over an hour away and my first impressions of the poor staffing at the main desk it's highly unlikely we will return. If it wasn't for the kids enjoying themselves I'd have left a 1 star. Safeguarding should be paramount in any establishment children are attending yet there seemed to be a distinct lack of care who's walking in and around not to mention who's paid to access the facilities!!

Took our seven year old twin granddaughters for the first time today and they absolutely loved the experience. It was also good to see how they gained in confidence to climb higher and higher and it was also good for us too as we knew they were in safe hands with Dave who was a patient and caring instructor. We were greeted by Oliver who explained everything carefully and was very very patient with sorting the correct shoes for the girl's and making us a most welcomed cup of coffee.

We had our son’s 10th birthday here. It was great. You have to sort own food so we ordered dominoes. The staff on the climbing walls were fab- so speedy at clipping the lads into each wall they didn’t have to wait at all before being on the next day all. Probably the most chilled party we’ve had! The kids loved it!!

Climbing The Walls is a fantastic place for children and Adults! Staff are really friendly and helpful.
This place is taking COVID-19 very serious, hand gel was available, Information posters were visible and staff members were wearing face masks/shields and doors were all open making the place very ventilated which made us feel more at ease and safe.
We can’t wait to go again.

Absolutely brilliant- we had never been before, the instructors were not only very knowledgeable but also very encouraging and reassuring, helping all of us overcome our nerves. The experience was exhilarating and we wouldn’t have had such a brilliant time had it not been for the instructors being so skilled, spotting when we were nervous and giving exactly the right amount of reassurance and challenging us to just go for it. We came away feeling really proud of ourselves and having really enjoyed it, we will definitely be back. Amazing!

We booked the action walls for our two 6 year olds when visiting the area and they absolutely loved it.
Dave the instructor was fantastic with my enthusiastic little one and gave him additional challenges to keep him on track.
They loved the different walls and the skyscrapers in particular.
Will definitely return when in the area.

I brought my six year old son in the Feb half term for the first time and he loved it!!...infact..I loved it.i had just as much fun as him. The hour goes super quick, we got a cheaper deal as it was half term aswell when booked online. The staff were lovely, good staff to participant ratio.
The only thing I will say is that the toilets were not clean, we didn't eat so can't comment about that.

Took grandsons in half term together with a friend. A good time was had by all. They were all a bit shy at first but soon got into the swing of things. Staff were very kind and helpful and put everyone at ease. Hope to go again soon.

My daughter and I have been a few times and we love it. Its a really good place, the walls are challenging and its fun. This time round was better and that was down the (new?) lad with the american accent & headband (sorry i didnt get this name, sorry) he was brilliant with my daughter offering help and guidance, generally being professional and helpful. That is how staff should be and even she commented on how nice he was. My only point would be a wish to have the action walls bigger and more walls the climb!

We took our guides aged 10-14 years to climb on the action walls. As always the booking process and check in was smooth.
The guides loved the varying challenge of the action walls.
The instuctors were great, kind, encouraging and professional. They made it a positive experience for all.
Will return. Thank you

Do you need any specific type of shoes to climb?
Written 15 November 2017
Hello, yes you do, if it’s your first visit to Bouldering or Tall Walls, shoe hire is included in the induction. If not, there is a minimal rental cost of £3
Written 16 November 2017
I have had a look at the website & note that there is an induction fee on top of the price to pay for the activity. Does the induction eat into the time spent on the activity?
Written 29 May 2017
Not really it's only about 5 mins which is very very necessary.
