I booked this session for my daughter's 12th birthday for her and 5 friends. It was perfect. The instructor, James, was patient, engaging, kind, funny, attentive and very good at explaining the safety and techniques. I would thoroughly recommend this for an afternoon of fun.
We had a great time on our taster session. The climb leader was very good. She was safety conscious all the time and very encouraging to everyone.
This is the 2nd time we have had a birthday party at Big Rock and both times have been fabulous, the crazy climb edition to the centre is a fantastic edition and my daughter and her friends had a great time, thankyou for a great day we will definitely be back.
My husband, and daughters aged 15 & 10 went for the eldest birthday, we live over an hour away but have visited Milton Keynes for other attractions and the girls were keen to try this out, i was not present but the overall feelings was fantastic, great place lots of fun, instructors attentive, an absolute must for young and old.The girls have already lined up there next visit to be able to return when i can see for myself, so thanks big rock for making her birthday, good value for money too.
My 11 year old son went for his first bouldering session, he regularly rope climbs but wanted to try something new and really loved it. The instructor was brilliant with him & he tried lots of new routes. The only negatives are the cost, it was expensive for one to one tutoring & he got tired very quickly, solo climbing, so needed to rest between climbs. Would definitely like to book again in the future, wish we lived nearer then he could go regularly
The group sessions were booked up over half term so ended up booking a private instructor for just the three of them. The youngest was a bit nervous about the big walls but Anya was brilliant and had them all scampering up and down in no time. At the end she played some games with them on the bouldering wall. The session was a big hit.
good instructors, great atmosphere, fun rock walls with good value for money and a really fun variety of walls
Thanks so much to all the staff, as always very knowledgeable and can't do enough to help. Highly recommend you come along to Big Rock we will be back again and more frequently now.
I took the children along for a taster session. Great facilities, really friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Safety is paramount and the staff get the children to think about what they are doing and to check that they are prepared to climb. Once on the walls and bouldering areas, instructors are very supportive and encouraging. There is something to suit children and adults of all ages, with a range of experience and ability. There is a nice little cafe with good coffee and freshly prepared hot and cold food. If you are traveling and want to make a day of it you could combine with a trip to Bounce, the trampolining centre.
