big kid boulders.
kids 12 years & over are welcome to climb at marrickville & leichhardt subject to our supervision requirements.
while our boulders are designed for adults, kids under 12 years can come in to try it out during the day monday to friday — these visits must follow our age-specific supervision ratios & be strictly wrapped up by 5:30pm.
weekends & public holidays are strictly 12 years & over only.
if your child under 12 is an experienced climber & able to demonstrate safe climbing etiquette in a busy gym environment — please get in touch to discuss the possibility of special consideration access.

supervision haus rules.
for the safety of our customers big & small, all children require adult supervision at BlocHaus.
adult to child supervision ratios:
0–5yrs (1:1)
An adult must provide constant supervision & be within arm’s reach of the child. We do not expect children at this age to have the necessary awareness & ability to follow the safety rules on their own.
6–9yrs (1:2)
An adult must provide constant supervision & be on the mats with the children. We find children from 6-9 are learning to observe the safety rules & are developing awareness of their surroundings & their own safety.
10–11yrs (1:4)
Adults must keep a clear line of sight with all children. Adults may climb together with the children by taking turns. Children at this age are expected to follow the safety rules & be mindful of the people around them & fall zones.
12–13yrs (1:8)
Youths may be supervised at a distance & are expected to follow the safety rules & know the bouldering gym etiquette. They are encouraged to lead by example for younger children. Kids 14+ may climb without adult supervision.
We understand your family or group may have multiple children across age groups and we apply a common-sense interpretation of the supervision ratios. However, a one to one ratio for kids five & under applies at all times.
please note: BlocHaus reserves the right to require increased supervision as needed — customers may be asked to leave if they refuse to follow our safety policies.
BlocHaus is committed to child safety & wellbeing.
