Looking for nature-oriented indoor fun to do on a too-hot or a rainy day? Try the local rock climbing gym! We started taking our son when he was four. It’s a great way to burn some energy, strengthen that upper body, and let the kids go crazy climbing in a safe environment. My son loves the bouldering walls!

I would love to give a go at a great rock climbing gym. Unfortunately we don’t have any near where I live so I’ll have to live vicariously through this young man. Climb on!

We’re really lucky to have quite a few good ones in the area. If you ever get the chance while out traveling, try it!

Looks awesome! Budapest has lots of ropes courses, some of them indoors, and we like to hit them occasionally. Ok, I like to hit them occasionally, and the kids tag along. We got our older son on the kids’ course at about 3, though, and he does enjoy them. Good fun!

My husband and I enjoy climbing at the rock gym, too, though it was something we did way more often before having a child. Great family fun!
