Clip n Climb

Clip n Climb is a great concept in indoor climbing.

Situated in Industrial Way, Cowes, the facility comprises 30 walls of various degrees of difficulty.

The 10 metre high walls are visually stunning with their amazing colour schemes and crazy patterns.

Climbs are suitable for children as well as adults which makes for a fun family outing.

Each session begins with a 15 minute briefing on safety and climbing protocol and climbers will be fitted with a safety harness. Experienced staff will be in the climbing area at all times to supervise and assist.

Wear soft shoes such as sneakers and comfortable clothes - there is a lot of reaching and stretching involved!

There are two cafes, one downstairs and one on the upper level - a great vantage point to watch the activity!

Visitors are requested to book online as an online waiver form is required to be completed, and also to avoid disappointment.

Clip n Climb is open during Victorian school holidays Monday to Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm last climb. Other times Friday to Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm last climb.

Phillip Island Ten Pin Bowling

96/91 Settlement Road, Cowes
☎ (03) 5952 3977

No need to worry about how to entertain the whole family when it rains, visit the Phillip Island Ten Pin Bowling & Entertainment Centre.

Recently our family went for a game. The 4 and 8 year olds played "bumper" bowls, where the ball is rolled down a mobile frame and barriers come up so the ball doesn't roll into the gutter. How I wish that was an option for not very skilled adults!

The 2 year old was happy playing in the enclosed "pups" play area while the other family members tested their bowling skills.

Ten pin bowling is available for all standards so even if you haven't tried it before, give it a go! There is a league competition for the more serious bowler.

Children from age 5 plus can amuse themselves in the Lazer Zone - a dark maze where the aim is to tag opponents.

Pool tables and arcade games offer hours of entertainment.

For a celebration with a difference, children's birthday parties are also catered for.

The complex is air conditioned and has a licensed cafe/bar with a screen to watch major sporting events.

Open Monday 10.00am to 5.00pm, Tuesday 12.00 to 8.00pm, Wednesday 10.00am to 10.00pm, Thursday to Saturday 10.00am to 9.30pm, Sunday 10.00am to 5.00pm.

From a small operation it now has all the big rides such as Kamikaze, Midnight Madness and Space Roller.

For slightly less terrifying rides there are the old favourites, Dodgem Cars and the Cha-Cha.

For children there are lots of rides including train rides, dragon coaster and flying airplanes. Plus a jumping castle with slides.

Phillip Island Observatory - CLOSED

Here's a chance to do some real stargazing! No, not celebrities, but actual stars, planets, nebulae and much more.

The Phillip Island Observatory is situated at Rhyll, where the lack of light pollution means almost perfect conditions for scanning the night skies.

Apart from the observatory, there is also a planetarium, where visitors can be immersed in the wonders of the universe.
