If you think that climbing cannot surprise your kids or even you — grab your company and come all the way to Richmond. There is a huge variety of thematic and bright climbing walls in one big open space with music and a helpful team. The clipping-in system was quite new for me, and at first kids will definitely need your help — it is a bit tough to open and close the mechanism.
Each wall has its complexity marked next to it. There is a big button at the very top — hit it nicely after you have climbed the wall and let yourself fly freely all the way down to the ground. This jump might be the best moment for many. For others, the best moment is the climb in the darkness through the disco lights.
Apart from climbing itself, free fall and free jump challenges are available, and you can purchase them separately on-site. The website asks you to book your time online beforehand to ensure you have your spot when you arrive.
