Things to do; Dock 79; Tree climbing, water sking, indoor bouldering and huge water inflateables!

Only around 15 minutes from SHAPE, this Outdoor recreation area includes rope courses, water rides and bouldering, plus yoga classes and concerts.

We went as a family to do the tree rope course. The children loved it and we all had a good three and a half hours of climbing. The instructors were great, all spoke good english. 

We had a great afternoon and the children had a brilliant time and came back tired (bonus!)

Costs; For the tree climbing that we did, it was 20 euro for adults and children over 10. 

Children 6-9 years it was 15 euro - but they need a paying adult to go one with them. 

So for a family of 5 it was 95 euro. Family of 4 would be around 75 euro.

Children under 6 are 10 euro. This is for the mini course. An adult must stay but no need to pay.

There are other activities and you can often combine two activities which can work out more cost effective. More detail can be found here; https://dock79.be/nos-packs/

 

You can book ahead or you can turn up. We went early and just turned up.
