Climbfit St Leonards is great for kids and parties. St Peters is bigger and better with party rooms and a dedicated kids climbing area. Avoid Northern Beaches Rockhouse. It is the pits. It is tiny, with no kids facilities. The staff are kids, incompetent and dangerous. I saw a staff member lowering a boy as though he was a bag of rubbish, spread-eagled, bouncing down the slab. I had to grab the rope from the staff member and lower the boy safely. To make matters worse, if that is possible, they allow unleashed dogs to enter the gym. I've seen dogs jumping on belayers. Nuts! Avoid the Rockhouse!
