I came here for the first time today and it exceeded my expectations! I booked the SEND climbing session for the child I care for. The staff were welcoming, warm and understanding. They encouraged and reassured him throughout and talked through any concerns or questions. Really appreciate the kindness and support.
Will be coming again!
Our group of ten were thoroughly exhausted at the end of the session. The challenges are good enough to mean that even the most adventurous were pushed, some of the walls are easy enough to allow the most hesitant straight up to the top. Altogether a great experience for us.
I like the place and the set up very much!
One of the cheaper soft plays in Hull but one of the better ones! Always clean and although it not big it great for young kids. Staff are always nice too.
Just came back from my sons Ultimate Birthday Party at Rock Up Hull. I can not imagine a better party for kids and my son (level 9 now) said it was his best birthday ever. Absolutely fantastic. Everything was planned and prepared by the lovely and most helpful staff at the venue.
Thank you!
When it comes to organizing a birthday party, many parents hesitate between a traditional celebration at home and a more original activity. However, more and more families are choosing rock climbing to celebrate this event. Take it from us, there is no better way to celebrate a birthday than climbing! Rock Up can transform a kid's party into an event worth remembering, full of fun, triumph and mountains of adventure.
Traditional birthdays often follow the same pattern: a few games, a snack, opening presents, and cake. While this formula always works, it sometimes lacks originality.
By choosing a climbing gym for their birthday party, children discover a new activity that engages their curiosity and their desire to reach new heights. Each wall becomes a challenge, each summit a victory to share.
What children remember most about a birthday is not the presents, but the moments shared with their friends. Climbing, laughing, encouraging each other, and celebrating every achievement creates a powerful experience that will stay with them forever. Rock Up climbing parties are guaranteed to be talked about long after the party is over.
Rock climbing is one of the few activities that combines play, physical activity, and mental stimulation. Children move, develop their coordination, learn to solve problems, and gain confidence, without feeling like they are exercising at all!
After the exertion, it's time for a snack, cake and gifts: the perfect balance between adventure and sociability.
Choosing a climbing birthday party package also simplifies the organization. The equipment is provided, the snacks are ready, and the children play in an environment designed to get them moving, having fun and staying safe.
Parents can fully enjoy the party without having to manage the entertainment or tidying up after a house full of guests.
In Hull, these packages range from £19.95 (Saver party) to £29.95 (Ultimate party) for a group of at least 8; depending on the times and options chosen.
Want to invite more children than included in the basic package, or liven up the session with a collaborative game? Rock Up offers simple adjustments right up to the day, without complicating the organization for parents. If you would like to hear about our exclusive hire parties or discuss anything else, send us an email and we'll be happy to talk things through.

Absolutely - safety is our top priority for all ages.
We use automatic belay devices to keep you secure. Climbers clip in to access the wall, allowing them to climb safely and descend gently. With a weight range of 35lbs to 287lbs, they ensure a smooth experience for climbers of all shapes & sizes.
Our team members explain everything during a mandatory safety briefing before entering the climbing area and monitor safety throughout the session. Parents can relax - everything’s designed for children to feel confident and secure.

We took our 4 year old today, and she had so much fun! She's not a very athletic child, but one member of staff was really kind and gave her the confidence to climb higher and on more challenging walls. He made climbing fun and supported her to use her own critical thinking on some of the harder walls.
