Kids & families
Everything you need to know about a day out at Cliffhanger with your family.
Fun for the entire family.
Anyone can climb, whatever their age.
Little climbers can start from just 2 years old. Cliffhanger is a great experience for the family, as everyone's involved together. Parents are able to hold the ropes for their children, participating directly in the challenge and success on the wall. Once your kids are over 13 the roles can be reversed and you can take on the walls, with your child on the ropes below.
Get ready for your visit...

What to bring
