Entertainment & Activities
Bouldering and a tiny but mighty menu of healthy, groovy food. We've taken our son here quite a few times. They prefer kids be there in the mornings when it's less busy. They don't cater for kids but usually someone will help to get your little one started. Important to follow the etiquette of the place. Do a climb and then step back for another to try. Kids running around the climbing area would be frowned upon.
