Finding interesting kids activities can often be a challenge, with three kids between us trust us we know!  Kletterwald Neroberg climbing centre fits the bill! Located just outside Wiesbaden, we know we know, the longer you live in Frankfurt the further away Wiesbaden appears.  Saying that, this spot is totally worth the effort (especially if you love the outdoors and/or have energetic little humans!)

Zip lining, tree top ‘surfing’ & plenty of fun (just don’t look down!) for the whole family!  First things first – head gear, harnesses & safety briefing (we are no longer in India and sometimes forget that ‘anything goes’ is no longer an option).  After that it’s time to get your big boy pants on and go as high as you dare!

Importantly, all routes are colour coded and there is a separate section for kids under 6, although kids up to the around the age of 8/9 are allowed and also thoroughly enjoying it.  Also, for kids over the age of 6 climbing for the first time it’s a great way to acclimatise.  After they can head out and try their hand on the higher climbing challenges!

Pack a picnic and plenty of snacks because climbing makes you hungry! In addition to the picnic, bring a flask of hot coffee.  It was one of the best decisions we made that day (although the coffee didn’t quite make it down to our toes and they were frozen when we left!) . It’s worth mentioning again, that with it being an outdoor kids activity in the winter months it’s freezing!

Furthermore, it’s a great option for an adventurous birthday party!  There are different packages available, and depending on what you have in mind you can choose to have a trainer allocated to take the kids on the adventure course – for more information on the birthdays check their website here

Finally their loyalty cards are a nice touch – in this day and age loyalty so often seems a second thought so when it’s rewarded it leaves a smile on our face!
