[Clip 'N Climb @ Our Tampines Hub]
For a good and less intimidating experience for beginners like us, the Pro suggested that we try Clip 'N Climb at HomeTeamNS, Our Tampines Hub.
As a Westie, this was first time I'm visiting Tampines Hub. It was so big!
We were greeted by super colourful and fun rock walls on entering the Clip 'N Climb area. The staff taught us how to wear our harnesses and how to clip our harnesses to the auto belay before climbing.
I thought the girl will have more issues with climbing than me but it turns out that she was a lot braver than I am! Although she was initially apprehensive of letting go of the wall to drop down, she was able to do it easily after her first drop. Of course, it helps that we have a pro to guide us as well 😁
To be honest, I was more afraid of heights than I thought I would be! I used to be way more adventurous than this! Maybe age has really caught up with me... I am older and less agile than before! *laughs*
But well, I tried most of the walls and liked that it was easy enough for beginners like us but also had the element of difficulty for pros like the BFF.
Overall, we had a great time! The girl kept saying that she wanted to go rock climbing again.
[Adventure HQ @ HomeTeamNS Khatib]
Since the girl wanted to go rock climbing again and Adventure HQ just opened in the spanking new HometeamNS Khatib. As it is new and has the biggest indoor multi-adventure course in Singapore, it is very popular. Hence, we didn't manage to book the preferred afternoon slot on a Thursday as it was the School Holiday. Instead, we decided to go with the evening slot at 6 - 9.30pm.
When we arrived, we were awed by just how big the Adventure HQ was! It was like a huge playground for big kids!
We queued up and took turns to be hooked up to the ropes course.
Next we went down the Fireman Slide, the longest slide in Singapore at 4.5 storeys high!
We proceeded on to the Adventure Trail, which is basically an upsized playground for big kids!
Next, we proceeded to Fossil Labyrinth, the first indoor artificial caving in Singapore. The aim of this activity is to give you a glimpse of the caving experience without the risks.
As the only one with actual caving experience among us, the BFF was quick to point out that an actual cave is a lot wetter and rockier than this artificial one. Nevertheless, it was still fun trying to find out way around in total darkness. If you're claustrophobic, I suggest that you skip this activity as it was really dark inside and there was very little space to move around. The girls wanted to try the Ninja Course next, so I decided to give myself a break and watch them try out the course.
There were also Boulder and Rock Climbing walls but we were more interested in the fun Urban Climb walls mostly meant for the average climber. 
We put on our harness and learnt how to hook ourselves to the auto belay system. 
The auto belay system here was a lot easier to hook on and off as compared to Clip 'N Climb! It was a breeze to hook on and climb! 
My girl enjoyed climbing all the walls, even though she didn't always make it to the top of every wall. I think it's fine because the most important thing is to have tried your best! We were exhausted by 9pm and decided that we had had enough 😅
If you're planning to visit and bring your kids, do note that there is a minimum height of 1.25m required for Adventure HQ. If your child is too short, he/she will find it hard to navigate the ropes course, ninja course and some of the rock climbing walls.
