We took the kids to try out the outdoor centre, which had mini crazy golf, high ropes, the wave and climbing walls. The kids did the wave and high ropes and wow did they love it ! The staff in charge of outdoor activities were so amazing with the kids age 7 and 11 (girl & boy). However, Tommy from the wave centre went above and beyond to give the kids a great experience! Made it super safe and fun too! Couldn't recommend this team enough all really good with kids and they're to make sure you are all having fun!
