HJC:

"Was een leuke activiteit om te doen. De kinderen zijn net nog te klein ( < 1.20)voor een stap hoger wat meer uitdaging zou geven. Nu was het niet echt spannend of uitdagend voor hen. De twee parcoursen beiden 2 x gedaan omdat ze er snel en makkelijk overheen gaan. Maar ze vonden het leuk om gedaan te hebben."

A:

"I had a really great time. It was quite an adventure!"

Ine:

"What a fantastic outing this was. We did this with our family—our kids are 4, 6, and 8—and it was such a huge success. We'll definitely be back! Everything was very well organized."

Martin:

"I really enjoyed climbing together"

Esther:

"We had a great party! Everything was very well organized, and the staff was there at just the right moments to keep things orderly and organized. So, a great team! We also thought it was beautiful and well-organized. We'd love to come back."
