Great day out for the kids and adults too. It was our first visit to Clip n Climb Derby. Ace variety of walls to climb, amazing setup. Tyler and Harrison were on hand for the safety briefing, helping with the harness and in the arena throughout, lovely boys, brilliant with the kids. Lovely friendly staff especially Victoria on the reception desk. Real good variety of food, clean premises, all in all a fun day out, already booked in for our next visit. The girls loved it would definitely recommend.

Great fun (if you class being terrified as fun lol) Had a 2 hour session so we did 4 activities...abseiling, climbing, aerial assault course and the cave. Instructor was great and looked after us well. It’s a bit chilly in there so make sure you are wearing a warm layer in the colder months. Defo recommend for thrill seekers or for something a bit different

Megazone Derby

Megazone is a futuristic laser tag game played in a themed multi-level playing arena. Set in 4,000 square feet of labyrinth and maze, smoke swirls and eerie music pulsates, whilst super bright green lasers pierce the ultra-violet barren landscape. You are the hunted and you have only a laser gun to aid your survival.

My son and daughter (11 and 7) have just had their joint birthday party here. It went seamlessly, lots of fun and brilliant staff. By far the best birthday party they have had. Stress free organising and lots of fun!
