It's always this time of year that I start searching for fun activities to do with my two very energetic and adventurous children, ages 6 and 9.The Altitude Gym in Kanata is a perfect indoor activity, especially for the PA days.
I took the kids to Altitude gym Kanata to explore their family zone called 'The Quarry'. The Quarry includes bouldering, auto-belay climbing, a Ninja Warrior obstacle course and an augmented reality climbing wall. My oldest repeatedly climbed the auto-belay wall as she tried to accomplish her best time using the built-in timers displayed at the top of the wall. While my oldest climbed the auto-belay wall, my youngest had a blast testing his bouldering skills. The Ninja Warrior Obstacle course and augmented reality climbing wall were both major hits for both kids. The Ninja Warrior Obstacle course has three 'lanes' that offer a variety of obstacles for various skill levels. The augmented reality climbing wall seemed to be a big hit for kids of all ages. Picture the carnival game where you bonk objects as they pop up on a table only instead of standing at a table and using a padded mallot, you're climbing a wall and using your hand to tap digital images as they appear on the wall. Climbers can select which creatures will appear on the board and the level of difficulty. After spending several hours exploring the Quarry, we grabbed lunch at Altitude's reasonably priced and convenient café. The kids had one of the best tasting grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies and I had a turkey brie panini and delicious 'green tape' smoothie. The food was delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the gym was bright, inviting, and clean. If you're looking for an indoor space where your children can challenge themselves and build confidence in their physical capabilities, Altitude gym is definitely worth the visit and why not grab a bite to eat while you're there?
Also, Altitude gym offers day camp programs, birthday party packages, and special holiday events, perfect for children to enjoy new experiences.
