If your kids are always climbing on the couch, or you, rock climbing could be the perfect activity to let the get it all out of their systems. Rock climbing is a great sport for kids of all ages, with centres set up to cater for all ages and abilities. Start them young and watch how fast they’re springing up cliff-faces and giving you a heart attack. Most centres will include equipment hire in their prices, so you don’t need anything to turn up and give it a go.
Crank Indoor Rock Climbing
Kids aged 8 and over will love the variety here, with rock climbing, ninja warrior and parkour on offer. Each activity has a strong focus on balance, coordination, strength and agility.

When: See website for timetable
Cost: $21 per session + $5 one-off registration fee on first visit

An indoor rock climbing wall is available to kids from 5 years of age at the Beenleigh PCYC. This is a great low-key and cheaper option if you want to go for something more casual – especially if your child is a beginner.

Urban Climb
Urban Climb is super child-friendly, and they even run special sessions just for school-aged kids on Saturdays and Sundays.

Skyzone
Skyzone isn’t just about jumping, they’ve also got a fantastic climbing set up. Harnesses have auto-braking so you don’t need someone holding your rope – great if you’ve got multiple kids to watch. There is also a slightly terrifying leap of faith, where you climb to the top of a tower and jump onto a bag below. Eek. Children have to be at least 5 years old or 110cm tall to climb.
