Fun HQ Cardiff

Climbing and play

Clip 'N Climb has 30 colourful auto-belay challenges, plus optional extras such as a vertical drop slide and a Leap of Faith jump. The Active Play Zone spreads slides, swings and things to bounce on over three levels for children aged 11 and under. Spectators at the climbing wall go free, which helps when only some of the family want to climb.

Food and parties

Fun HQ Kitchen serves hot meals, snacks and drinks with a view over the climbing and play areas, so adults can sit while children play. Party packages for either activity include a kids' meal, ice cream and a private party room, and group bookings are offered for schools, clubs and companies.

Finding it and planning a visit

The entrance is at the back of the Cardiff International Ice Skating Club, between it and Cardiff International Pool, in the sports complex off Olympian Drive. Sessions are booked online, and opening hours are longer at weekends and in school holidays than on term-time weekdays. Cardiff Bay and Techniquest are a short drive away for the rest of the day. Gift cards are sold for either activity, though each card only works for the one it was bought for.
