A world unique attraction, eccentric & colourful. Challenge yourself in the Great Maze (Labyrinth) - don’t worry there are emergency doors for those with limited time or energy! You’ll be confused in the Illusion Rooms, astounded by the holograms & confounded by the puzzles. Using the toilets here is a must - you’ll find out why!
This is an attraction for all ages.
Clip ‘n Climb at Basecamp Wanaka Climbing Centre is the newest thing in family entertainment. With automatic belays and funky colourful climbs, it’s like nothing you have seen before. The automatic belays make it safe and easy. Staff supervise the session, but younger children require an adult to help clip them in. Great for kids and adults alike. An excellent birthday activity where everyone will have fun. Sessions start on the hour and bookings are required, so call now to get in 03 443 1110. And, there is a Lone Star Family Restaurant next door which is open evenings.
