Awesome Walls Liverpool

Kirkdale

From £12

Ages 6 and upThe site headline says walk in climbing is from £12. The same page shows two different pay as you go tables (adult £12 or £15 non member, kids £11.50 or £14.50 non member, with lower member rates), so the current rate is unclear. Taster, induction, youth and Kids Club session prices are not published on the pages fetched; they sit in the booking widgets. Equipment is included for new climbers in booked sessions; hire for experienced climbers from £3.

Local parent insider tips

Before you set off

Book the big ones, turn up to the small onesThe safari park, the big soft plays and anything with a timed entry sell out in school holidays. Parks, beaches, most museums and the libraries never do. Every card says whether you need to book.
Go early or go lateMost paid attractions are quietest in the first hour and the last two. Free museums in the city centre are busiest between 11 and 2 on a wet Saturday.
Train beats car for the coast and the centreMerseyrail stops next to the beach at Crosby, Freshfield and Southport, and under the museums at Liverpool Central. Under 5s travel free and a Saveaway covers the day after 9.30 on weekdays and all day at weekends.
How we checkEvery listing is rechecked against the venue's own website every week, and each card shows the date it was last confirmed. If something has changed since, the Tell us link on every page reaches a person who fixes it.

Prices shown are the lowest general admission per person on the venue's website on the day we checked. Free means the venue states general entry is free; a child going free with a paying adult does not count. Always check with the venue before you set off.
