I took my 2 year old for her Cheeky monkey session today and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Staff were friendly and the facilities are good. There is plenty of wall area for climbing and the kids soft area is great for when you’ve finished your session as you can stay for as long as you want. Tom our instructor was friendly and great with the kids. Looking forward to going back and would recommend to any parent thinking of getting their kids into climbing. lol
