You should arrive about 10/15 minutes before your session starts so you can get signed in and ready to start on time (on weekends/ school holidays you may want to plan to arrive earlier).
Please arrive at the Climbzone reception located at the front door of XSite 10-15 mins before your session is due to start. On arrival, please provide us with your booking name and time of the session, and then we will ask you to sign in all of the participants. The session will start at the booked time. Your instructor will meet you in reception and take you upstairs to get kitted up then get started on your activities. After taking part in the thrilling activities you will be de-kitted out of all your climbing equipment and your session will finish at the advertised time. During the full session for safety reason, spectators must stay on the ground level below our Skypark.
One of our friendly and experienced instructors will be with the group at all times. Each instructor will supervise a group of up to 8 people.
To participate in our bookable activities involving the Skypark, Climbing wall or the Drop you have to be aged 7 or over.
The slide has no age restriction but children under 1.1 m in height must be accompanied on the slide by an adult.
When taking part in an activity at Climbzone, you should wear something practical and comfortable and bring some socks.
Skirts and dresses are not advised as you will be 15 metres above spectators. We will supply all technical equipment including climbing shoes if required for your session.
The instructor will be on hand to give help and assistance when needed. We will try our best to encourage and help everyone conquer their fears but, if someone doesn’t want to take part in an activity, they can stand in a safe spot at the side to watch. Alternatively, if any participants don’t want to continue with the session they can be escorted back down the stairs.
Your session time includes kitting up and de-kitting. This is roughly 10-15 minutes kitting up and 5 minutes de-kitting. We aim to maximise the time spent on the activity, however, the kitting up and safety briefing is an important part of the session.
We guarantee you will get at least one go on each activity booked. If you visit us in our quieter periods, you will be more likely to get more shots.
Unfortunately for safety reasons, we cannot allow participants to carry their own cameras on the activities. All your belongings must be secured in a locker. We can’t guarantee photos due to the nature of the activity but we do try to take photos of you on the Skypark. Photos can be viewed and purchased in reception immediately after your session.
To avoid disappointment, we do advise you to book in advance – especially for weekends and during holiday periods. However, there are often spaces available on the day – but these may be limited.
