My 6 years old has done 5 sessions of Clip n Climb and enjoyed it. It was possible to book a session only for him but now has to book a ticket for myself too. Everywhere on the website says 'no problem if you don't take part. Why not help your child etc'. Makes no sense at all and I will not book another session until I can book one ticket. My other one won't be able to use the facility for the next 3 years until he turns 7.

This is a fantastic site for both boulder and rock climbing. There are regular trainings also. There's a party room for children, and big rooms for other trainings. There's a well-stocked café, and pretty benches and tables for eating outdoors. The views around the arena are picturesque. Parking is free, but one has got to register their vehicle. In all honesty, the EICA deserves a five-star rating but transportation to the site is terribly convoluted with at least a 15-minute trek to the arena from one bus stop, 41-minute trek from Wilkieston Post Office bus stop, and 50-minute trek from Ratho station. I'll add pictures tomorrow; I didn't remember to take any today.

Great time! Was skeptical about the place reading some bad reviews but the experience was awesome. People were friendly at the desk, parking signs everywhere reminding you to register your vehicle and the climbing was very nice.
