Rock Climbing – Crank Indoor https://brisbanekids.com.au/family/rock-climbing-crank-indoor/ Mon, 09 Nov 2020 01:46:35 +0000 http://www.brisbanekids.com.au/?post_type=local_business&p=267885 Rock Climbing – the unlikely family activity

Did you know that Rock Climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in Australia?

No, this isn’t the Rock Climbing that you’re thinking of, adrenaline junkies scaling mountains using little to no ropes.

With the existence of indoor climbing gyms, rock climbing is no longer restricted to those who own their own rope, harness and helmet. Everyone can have a go at the walls in a safe, fun, and versatile environment.

In the climbing gym, climbing can be a fun hobby or a competitive sport, slow and steady or jump after jump, a personal journey or a social activity. Whatever it is that everyone, from pre-schoolers to seniors, is looking for, they can find it in rock climbing.

Indoor Rockclimbing perfect for kids!

kids climbing, rock climbing wall

Not only is climbing a great physical exercise for kids, developing their strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. It’s a great confidence builder!

It’s all about getting back on the wall after falling and trying again! About setting goals with themselves and finding the motivation to keep climbing higher and higher, until they’ve reached the highest point and can see the world (and their family) from heights they’ve never seen before.

girls rock climbing, indoor rock climbing, crank

Not too sure how indoor rock climbing works?

Here’s how it is.

At indoor gyms, like Crank Indoor Rock Climbing, climbs are designed as puzzles on a wall. They need solving using different hold combinations and movement sequences (it’s a great mental sport!).

These climbs are set using coloured plastic holds, so as climbers are scaling the wall, they use only a certain colour for their hands and feet. The variety of angles, corners and structures along the walls keeps things interesting, and there are even designated kids’ sections (think ladders and big, easy to grip handles).

Indoor Rockclimbing Skills

In the indoor gym, the three options for climbing are rope climbing, auto belays, and bouldering.

Rope climbing means that kids can harness their natural curiosity and scale 7-10 metre walls, kept safe by the rope, and the belayer, the person who holds on to the rope. This form of climbing is a great family activity, and perfect for building trust and communication. Children will have to communicate with their belayer when they’re ready to start climbing or want to come down and learn to trust that their belayer has a firm grip on the rope.

Auto belays allow climbers to climb solo without the need of belaying assistance; a retracting system at the top of the wall means the rope is automatically tightened against climbers and lets climbers down whenever they want. Meaning parents can choose to relax and watch their children explore new heights or race their young ones up the wall.

And bouldering is no hassle climbing, no gear required (save for chalk and shoes). The challenge is to climb short but tricky climbs at a low height, with a 16-inch crash pad underneath you. The best part about this form of climbing is that you can climb solo, or you can climb with a group of friends and family! The walls are so low that they can yell out advice and encouragement, or just egg you on! If you find that your kids are going stir crazy cooped up in the house on those rainy days, try out Indoor Rock Climbing, the perfect fun family activity that everyone is sure to enjoy.

Hijinx Hotel Chermside interactive game experience https://brisbanekids.com.au/family/hijinx-hotel-chermside-interactive-game-experience/ Mon, 20 Mar 2023 01:39:09 +0000 https://brisbanekids.com.au/?post_type=local_business&p=308337 Be transported into the magical world of Funlab’s Hijinx Hotel, newly opened at Westfield Chermside in March 2023! Fun-seekers can now book to experience this wondrous venue, which features ten immersive game rooms, a quirky New York hotel themed bar serving eclectic cocktails, and a gourmet kitchen with mouth-watering eats.

Located alongside Funlab’s putt-tastic Holey Moley Chermside, which features 18 mini-golf holes and the iconic Caddyshack bar, the 350-occupancy precinct elevates the city’s competitive socialising offerings.

Following the launch of the popular Surfers Paradise venue in 2022, Westfield Chermside’s Hijinx Hotel is Queensland’s second venue, bringing the game room extravaganza to the heart of Brisbane.

Hijinx Hotel Chermside: What to expect

Hijinx Hotel Chermside giant code challenge in dark room.

From the moment guests walk through the door, they will be transported to a frenzied, fantastical, Instagrammable experience. A world where Wes Anderson and Willy Wonka combine with a New York-style hotel to create an explosion of wonder, excitement and fun.

No ordinary ‘hotel’, instead of staying the night, guests will jump into immersive, quick-play game rooms; from a life-sized piano to ball pits and giant scrabble.

Hijinx Hotel Chermside will also play host to two never-before-seen game rooms: Battleship, a submarine-themed room where guests try to sink ships for points, and Cute as a Button, a re-inspired adaptation of Hijinx Hotel’s popular Who Meme game, where guests solve cartoon puzzles featuring their favourite childhood characters to get the highest score.

Hijinx Hotel Chermside’s interactive game experience

A concierge desk for checking in customers to the Hijinx Hotel.

Is it a hotel? Is it a bar? Is it a game?

Hijinx Hotel is made up of 10 challenge rooms. The rooms are magical, immersive, and a WHOLE lot of FUN!

Each challenge room at Hijinx Hotel Chermside draws from nostalgia and is uniquely designed for between two and six players to work together to complete challenges in a four-minute window to score points on a leaderboard. 

Unlike an escape room, a challenge room has a single objective (such as remembering song patterns on a giant piano, solving word scrambles, or throwing a basketball through a hoop) that gradually becomes more difficult as your time ticks down. Your team will score a point every time you complete the objective before moving on to the next challenge. 

The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible in a set time period and you can leave at any time you please (you just won’t score as many points!). Points scored in each room will be combined to create your total score. 

At the end of your 5 room challenge, your total score will be displayed on the leaderboard and the group with the highest score wins!

Food and drink

Fire up those tastebuds because Hijinx Hotel is slinging delicious old-school sandwiches and pizzas. Their mouth-watering menu includes ingredients from Australian producers, served in sustainable packaging. 

Are you on a parents-only night out and need something to quench your thirst? In between games, you can head to the bar and enjoy a range of cocktails (including the Instagram-worthy ‘Bubble and Pop’ cocktail and the ‘Penthouse Party’ cocktail, made to be shared with friends) or savour all the classics with a selection of non-alcoholic options and food items.

Parties for all ages at Hijinx Hotel Chermside!

Hijinx Hotel Chermside glow in the dark challenge in dark room with colourful glowing spots.

Celebrate in style at the best place to play not stay! There’s nothing like a Hijinx Hotel party for the best birthdays and special celebrations! From corporate functions to kids’ birthday packages, they’re sure to delight!

If you’re looking for something different for your child’s birthday party this year, there’s no place like Hijinx Hotel Chermside! With super fun challenge rooms, amazing food and drink, a party host to take care of all the action, and a completely immersive experience, your little darlings will be raving about their Hijinx Hotel experience for years to come! 

Priced from $38 per person, kids’ parties at Hijinx Hotel Chermside include:

  • Play one set of Hijinx Challenger Rooms (5 rooms in total)
  • Party host for the duration of your visit
  • Reserved area for meal service (40 minutes)
  • Choice of main and side per person
  • A soft drink, juice and water

Hijinx Hotel parties are great for grown-ups too! With inclusive packages starting from $55 per person and a huge range of add-ons available, including Hijinx Hotel merchandise, your whole is guaranteed a great time celebrating your special event!

Getting to Hijinx Hotel Chermside

Hijinx Hotel is set in Westfield Chermside’s Entertainment and Leisure Precinct and located next door to Holey Moley Chermside in the level 2 dining area.

Hijinx Hotel guests can make the most of parking directly adjacent (in the North Shore Car Park, located corner of Gympie Rd and Banfield St).

Laser Tag in Brisbane with Laserzone Family Entertainment Center https://brisbanekids.com.au/family/laser-tag-in-brisbane-with-laserzone-family-entertainment-center/ Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:32:16 +0000 https://brisbanekids.com.au/?post_type=local_business&p=192798 Brisbane’s one-stop destination for Laser Tag, Bumper Cars and Arcade is at Laserzone Lawnton. Laserzone is ideal for Birthday Parties, Sporting Clubs, School Groups, Work & Community Groups, family fun and more. Open 6 days (Tuesday to Sunday). Laserzone provides the perfect all-weather venue for active children needing to burn off some energy. Best of all, it’s fun and kids of all ages LOVE it!

How to play Laser Tag

In Laser Tag, players are kitted out with computerised vests and handheld ‘phasers’ and briefed at the beginning of each mission. The game is a high tech adventure in which players zap opponents, targets and base stations within the darkened playing arena. The multi-level arena is decked out with black lights, fluorescent paints, lasers and mist to create a futuristic atmosphere. No contact is required for the sport, with competitor’s packs deactivating for a short time when they have been ‘tagged’. At the end of the game, scores are displayed on a scoreboard for players
to track their play. Each game is approximately 10 minutes in duration.

Niche sport for games lovers

Laserzone adult playing laser tag.

Laser tag is a genuine sport that is perfect to get kids out from in front of their TV-based computer games and into an active game scenario with real people. Suited to all ages, but recommended to those over 5 years of age due to the weight of the pack, Laser tag is a safe non-contact sport that will get players physically active. Laser tag also provides great mental stimulation and can be enjoyed all year-round in Laserzone’s indoor arena. Just one exhilarating game of laser tag will help to build better teamwork, communication skills, improve coordination and enhance overall fitness.

Laser Tag team play

It’s fun to gather a group of friends or family members, or you can go alone and they’ll team you up with other players. 1 and 2 Hour Passes are available anytime during opening hours as well as off-peak prices that apply, with discounts for early morning late afternoon sessions.

Testimonials

Rainbow City blocks and ball pit.

Highly Recommend Rainbow City. We had our son’s 1st Birthday at Rainbow City and were very pleased with how everything went. During the planning and preparation stage all my questions were answered clearly and within a reasonable timeframe. We were able to bring in our own decorations and the food portions for the kids were very generous. The adult platters were also delicious. The food was of good quality and freshly prepared. The staff were very accommodating and helpful on the day. The centre is clean and the kids who attended had a blast. The allotted time just flew right by. We highly recommend Rainbow City for kids parties and look forward to returning to the centre for another play.” – D. Gee

Nice and clean place for parents and children. We were a group of moms on Friday and we loved the place, very clean, the facilities are spacious, the toys are in good condition, it is divided into zones for different ages of children and the menu is varied and delicious. I forgot to take photos because we were so busy playing with my daughter.” – M Cuellar
