5 reasons your next school trip should be to High Rise Lisburn

1. There’s something for all ages

Clip ‘n Climb

Starting with the main attraction, High Rise boasts Northern Ireland’s largest Clip ‘n Climb arena offering over 24 thrilling Clip ‘n Climb challenges guaranteed to take your students out of their comfort zone.

Clip ‘n Climb is designed to develop coordination, strength and creative problem-solving skills – all whilst having a great time! Students have the opportunity to work together and challenge themselves and each other to see how high they can climb on our bright and colourful 8m high climbing walls.

High Rise is also home to Ireland’s tallest vertical drop slide! This daring special attraction stands at 10 metres high! Will your students be brave enough to take on the challenge to see who can hold on the longest?

Sandford Park School from Dublin had this to say about their recent visit to Clip ‘n Climb at High Rise Lisburn:

“With a group of 72 12/13yr old students it is sometimes hard to find activities that everyone enjoys. Every single person left with a smile on their face after having had the most wonderful time.

Some loved the challenge of taking on their classmates or teachers, some liked that they could climb on their own and some wanted the thrill of the vertical drop! It really had something for all and we could not have been looked after better.

Thank you to all at High Rise for a great evening.”
