Last weekend, we took our fearless little one to check out a children’s climbing gym.

Located within the Moorabbin Super Center, look for the sign that says “Upunlimited” at the back of the shopping centre. It’s not the easiest place to find!

We strongly recommend making a reservation in advance! We booked a week ahead, and when we arrived, we was amazed. There were about thirty or forty local kids, aged 7-8 at least, sitting and listening to the facility’s introduction before the session started. It seems like a popular spot for kids’ birthday climbing parties. We felt like we’d wandered into the wrong place.

The official recommendation is for kids aged 4 and above, but it didn’t stop our 3-year-old from quickly climbing to the top of the easy routes. The difficulty of the climbing routes varies, and while there were some she couldn’t attempt, there were enough within her capabilities to keep her busy.

When booking tickets, we noticed on their website that they had a vertical drop slide recommended for kids aged 5 and above, with an additional $4 fee.

The entire session lasts for 75 minutes, with about 15 minutes for explanations, harness fitting, and 60 minutes of climbing fun.
