Any questions?
Do you need to book in for climbing or laser tag?
Laser tag runs to timed sessions, so booking is recommended to ensure there is space available in the game time slot you would like to join. Climbing normally doesn't require booking, feel free to come in whenever you would like. If you're coming in a group of 10 or more give us a call.
Can I climb barefoot?
No, you will need to wear enclosed shoes. We have climbing shoes available to hire should you need.
What about laser tag, do you need shoes in there?
Yes, it all comes down to safety. Although we're happy for you to wear whatever footwear you're comfortable with.
Can I climb by myself?
We do have a bouldering section where you can climb by yourself. To be able to climb the high top rope walls you will need to bring someone to hold your ropes, our staff unfortunately can't help with this.
How old do you need to be to hold ropes?
To be able to belay (hold ropes) for someone you will need to be at least 12 years old. Belaying for another person requires responsibility and maturity because the climbers safety depends on the belayer.
I want to start climbing but I don't know anyone to climb with?
That's ok, every Tuesday and Thursday after 5.30pm until 9pm are our adults social nights. This is the best time to come in, we will introduce you to our "climbing family". Our regular climbers are a very inclusive, supportive and friendly group, you will feel very welcome and make new climbing friends very quickly.
Am I able to bring in my chalk bag?
Centre of Gravity has a no loose chalk policy. If your chalk bag has a chalk ball inside, that is permitted. Liquid chalk is also allowed to be used. Our bouldering section is strictly liquid chalk only, no chalk bags with balls or loose chalk permitted. We have liquid chalk available to purchase should you need.
Is there an age limit for climbing or laser tag?
For climbing the youngest is 3 years and our oldest climber was 90 years! Laser tag is suited for 4 years and we have had people well into there 80's play.
Is there a weight limit for climbing?
We have a maximum weight limit of 120kgs for climbing.
Can I bring in my own food?
Only party bookings are permitted to bring food into our centre.
