Want to try a fun family challenge where your children are likely to leave you hanging? Pun intended! Head to a rock climbing gym or bouldering centre for an exciting day with the kids!
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, rock climbing and bouldering can be great for burning off some steam and spending quality time with the family. You might even find that your kids are natural climbers and scramble up with ease while you struggle to keep pace. Hong Kong has many climbing gyms and bouldering centres that offer unique experiences and classes to encourage you and your kids to get out of your comfort zone – you’ll find it a great way to build courage, confidence and, of course, upper-body strength. Many of these gyms also offer party packages and group sessions, so you can overcome challenges together as a family.
