Read Our Reviews
The soft play at Rock Up is excellent - the team that work here are lovely could not be more obliging. I needed to fast WIFI and I can work from here whilst my children play.
A great place for a working mum!
We had a group birthday gathering of all ages from 4 to 54 years. There was something for everybody. I loved all the different walls with varied grips and challenge levels. All of the staff were great. Relaxed, friendly and helpful. I cannot praise them highly enough.
They made everybody feel so at home.
Excellent experience. All the kids in our group had an amazing time. Our son did the Leap of Faith too and said it was great fun. The team was very helpful, both in the climbing area and afterwards in organizing the party area and providing Pizza (including a non-dairy pizza for one of the kids).
Highly recommended!
Inclusion matters and I can thank the Rock Up employees today especially our instructor who was amazing in ensuring my little boy who has cerebral palsy had the best first experience of climbing. He hasn’t stopped smiling & he and his sister had the best time and can’t wait to come back!
Thank you
