Read Our Reviews
Great climbing facilities. My little girl had the best birthday party at Rock Up. Very good value for money, efficient staff, fast service, clear safety instructions, good food nice extras for the birthday girl-couldn’t fault it at all. (We also had a soft play party there when she was younger and that was equally as good)
Place was clean and well maintained and quiet and my girls (4&5) loved it! Would definitely recommend and thanks to the lovely staff for being super friendly I had a coffee in the cafe and that was nice and came in a proper cup which is unusual and welcome change for a softplay
Many of the Brownies hadn't been before. Some were very excited & some were very nervous. However the staff put them all at ease & every Brownie enjoyed themselves so much that they want to return again. I think they slept well that night!
Thank you
Today we visited Rock Up in lakeside with our special needs group, we had a very good time! The lady that was helping us couldn’t be more helpful and encouraging for us and made our experience very enjoyable!
We will be returning 🙂
