Action World Auckland

If you enjoy danger safely, if you desire the high wire under your own steam, if you ever wanted to run away to the circus, you need to spend a day at Action World Auckland!

These oversized blow up jumping castles give you all the options you need to perform heart pulling mini adventures.

To start with, you go to the suspended ladder, and try to climb up it, inevitably falling off within a dozen rungs, and learn to always land safely when you fall.

After this, you can move on to a choice of exciting activities. The most amazing thing is the fact you are doing it all without a harness, this is completely up to you, your strength, and facing your fears.

Walking a high wire suspended 2 storeys off the ground with nothing to hang on to, and no where to go but down is a real challenge. I think the best we managed was half a dozen steps.

The slide and jump was cool, and the trapeeze was ridiculous (only one of us tried it out - its so very far off the ground)... but the absolute best was the battle arena.

Holding an oversized cotton tip, you walk along an air filled beam towards your oponent, and battle to be the last person standing... we found the greatest challenges were the balance... and then the laughter... it's very hard to knock someone over when you are laughing so much you fall over yourself.

We had a great day out, and are considering it for a future birthday party, something different, fun, active and challenging!
