Clip 'n Climb Dundonald — Attraction in Ballyhanwood

We had a great time here! We arrived for the final session of the evening and were immediately greeted by the smiley and welcoming Ben and Katie. These two could not do enough for us all night. Personally, I was quite scared of the very high descent. However, Katie immediately quelled my fears by standing at the bottom of the climbing wall ready to catch me in her arms like a baby. Once I was safely and securely in Katie’s arms she would gently shake me and tell me how brave a boy I was. Ben was equally impressive! My girlfriend got stuck at the top of one of the walls. Immediately Ben sprung into action. He quickly removed his staff uniform to reveal a full Spider-Man costume. After quickly running to the office to grab his mask he leaped up the wall whilst shouting “the Green Goblin is at it again!” He got to the top and after taking a couple of minutes to pretend he was web slinging he helped my girl friend down.

I was standing right beside him! Unbelievable that an employee working with young children can be this rude to a child just standing there waiting to be served, and make such a crazy...

£12 for an adult is a lot considering the following: 1- it's busy so you don't get many turns on some of the walls. 2- with a large group a lot of the session time is used getting everyone set up with harnesses and the safety briefing (which you can barely hear due to the noise of the busy ice rink and loud music). 3- you have to pay an additional fee to use two of the apparatus inside the facility (this was the most disappointing aspect in our experience, especially as one of those is the 'leap of faith'). 4- it's rather cramped for space.

On the plus side there are a fairly good selection of walls to climb and the timed speed climb, with leader board is fun.

On the whole it unfortunately just falls short of a...
