Rock it Climbing Centre

Last updated April 2026

Hobart’s go-to spot for family-friendly rock climbing, Rock it Climbing Centre turns indoor walls into a playground of vertical adventure. Kids from as young as four can tackle colour-coded routes designed specifically for little hands and growing confidence, while teens and parents find challenges too. The centre’s auto-belay system means no knots to learn, just clip in and climb — perfect for first-timers. Birthday parties here always end with exhausted, happy kids and zero mess at home. It’s one of those places where time disappears, and the whole family leaves feeling a little braver. **What to Bring** Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dusty. Bring a water bottle — climbing is thirsty work. Closed-toe shoes are best, but sneakers work if they’re not too slippery. Leave backpacks in the car; there’s space to store them safely at the centre. **Best Age Range** Best for 4 years and up. The junior zone is tailored for ages 4–8, with shorter walls and easier holds. Older kids and adults have their own zones with tougher climbs. **Good to Know** Entry is pay-as-you-go; no booking needed for casual visits. Sessions run all day, but weekdays after 3pm and weekends can get busy. Prices start around $12 per child for a two-hour session, with family passes available. Check their website for school holiday specials and toddler time sessions. **Nearby** Stop by the splash-friendly playground at Princes Park in New Town for a post-climb cool down. Or grab a bite at the family-friendly café at the Hobart Showgrounds in Glenorchy, just a 10-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends — it gets packed by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes; kids always end up with chalk on everything. If it’s your first time, ask about the free beginner induction — it’s worth the five minutes.
