Turangi Climbing Gym

If you live in or around Tūrangi, this place is genuinely one of the better kept secrets in town. Routes cover everything from beginner-friendly bouldering to proper lead climbing, so you’re not going to outgrow it quickly — and neither are your kids. The staff actually know what they’re doing and seem to enjoy being there, which makes a real difference when you’re new to the sport or bringing nervous first-timers along. Good option for families who want something more engaging than another rainy-day screen session.
