Great experience with my 4 year old this morning. Little soft play area for younger kids. Everything was clean and my daughter had a great time.
We had a fantastic experience at a child’s 6th birthday party! Rock Up made it so much fun and kept everything engaging and exciting from start to finish. They were always on hand to make sure everyone was safe, happy, and involved, and went above and beyond to make the party special.
Highly professional, friendly, and enthusiastic.
Had a fantastic experience with my son! From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming and the atmosphere was great for families. A special shoutout to our instructor, he was absolutely brilliant! So engaging and patient, and he encouraged my son and made sure he felt safe and confident.
Absolutely brilliant fun! Both children and adults will have a great time and a brilliant introduction to rock climbing. Our instructor was thorough, great at boosting confidence and honestly could not have been happier that he was helping our team.
Really brilliant time and great value for money!

I’ve been visiting Rock Up several times a month for the last couple of years. Climbing these walls is great for core strength and cardio and for me it’s far more enjoyable than a gym . The core staff I meet at Rushden’s Rock Up have always been encouraging, enthusiastic, patient and helpful
