   We prefer to do all of our bookings a minimum of two weeks in advance, this allows us to prepare everything necessary for that special day!

8. Do you have a room where we can have cake afterwards?
   We do not have rooms available, but if you are looking for somewhere to enjoy a slice of cake (no candles please) then we have a large open area upstairs overlooking the pool and the Climbing Centre. Tables and chairs are already set up so all you need to remember is the cake! The area is provided at no additional charge and is provided on a first come first serve basis.

9. Are we able to use the swimming pool before or after the climbing birthday party?
   Yes, you are able to use the pool, so long as family swim time is available. When booking a climbing birthday party the pool can be rented for a $25.00 flat fee with a maximum of 20 people. Adult supervision is required at all times during family swim time. Family swim times can be found on our Aquatic Centre schedule. Please note: one supervising adult is required for every two children who are swimming.

Note: We recommend that you use the pool after climbing as the swimming pool softens up climber’s hands and makes them more prone to skin abrasions on the climbing wall.

10. What should the climbers wear?
    We recommend that all children come in athletic clothing (pants are preferred). Clean indoor footwear is required; running shoes or pool shoes (Aqua socks) make an excellent choice. Snowboots and sandals are not allowed.
