About
Boulder Zoo Autism-Friendly Sessions
Climbing for Every Child
At Climbing Hut Ellesmere Port, we believe climbing is for everyone. Our Autism-Friendly Sessions provide a dedicated one-hour climbing slot in our Boulder Zoo area for children with autism.
These sessions create a supportive and calm environment where children can enjoy climbing at their own pace, build confidence, and develop coordination in a way that suits them.
What to Expect
Autism-Friendly Sessions in the Boulder Zoo include:
Tailored climbing routes suitable for children with autism
A quiet, structured environment to reduce sensory overload
One-hour sessions focused on fun, exploration, and confidence
A self-led climbing format, allowing children and families to climb at their own pace
The session is uninstructed, meaning children climb with guidance from their families rather than an instructor. This ensures the experience is comfortable, flexible, and tailored to each child’s needs.
Who Can Join
These sessions are ideal for:
Children with autism who want to experience climbing in a safe and calm setting
Families looking for a self-led, SEN-focused climbing session
Young climbers who benefit from smaller, structured groups
By keeping the sessions limited to families with children on the autism spectrum, we ensure a welcoming and supportive environment.
Climbing Hut Ellesmere Port
Climbing Hut Ellesmere Port is committed to making climbing inclusive and accessible for all children. Our Autism-Friendly Sessions provide a space where children with autism can explore, enjoy, and develop climbing skills at their own pace.
With a focus on safety, comfort, and independence, children can climb confidently while families supervise in a calm, supportive setting.
