RICKY – The Re-set king!

September 05, 2017 by admin in Uncategorized 0 comments
At Activate, the walls are covered in holds. Each colour represents a route or bouldering “problem.” When you’re on a route, you can only put your hands and feet on holds with the same colour.  Then follow the route up the wall to the highest hold of that colour, and that’s the finish. This is what makes climbing in the bouldering room fun. When you look at a wall and see over a hundred holds on it, you challenge is to figure out how to climb a route that might only use six. To finish the route you have to figure out creative ways to extend your reach and build your grip strength to hang on to small holds. Sometimes you finish a route on the first try, sometimes it takes 20 tries or more. But each time you climb you get better and that progress is addicting. Many of you already know this but I know that my first time at the climbing gym, I had no idea what was going on until someone explained it to me. Eventually, after a couple months or so, what happens is you’ll find that you’ve climbed all the routes within your skill level […]

Santa Visits ACTIVATE in July

July 19, 2017 by admin in Uncategorized 2 comments
I know its hard to believe that we would be talking about anything relating to Christmas in July, but when the main man himself turns up to check out Activate (And not forgetting a game of bowling and mini golf) we had to sit down and have a chat. A. W. – “Welcome Santa”! “Its fantastic to see you… but why have you visited us in JULY”? SANTA – “Its great to be here!! I am currently on my holidays in Tramore, I visit every year. While I was here, I asked Ryan Hunt & Bernard Deegan if it would be ok to pay a quick visit to ACTIVATE to make sure there would enough room for my cabin and not forgetting all the presents, for when I visit officially for the month of December”. A.W. – “That explains the tan then”? SANTA – “Ah yes”! “The weather has been so fantastic and there is no better place to be, when the sun shines. However, unlike today when the weather is the way it is (Absolutely pouring down) I couldn’t be in a better place. The staff are so friendly and along with all the activities to choose from (Bowling, […]

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

May 31, 2017 by admin in Uncategorized 0 comments
Our new state of the art Laser Tag system has finally arrived. You can count the number of days its been with us on one hand, but its already turned into a huge success with kids and their families. We spent a lot of time researching into the best system that would suit our customers, Beagara offered this. The Begeara laser system is simple to operate and easy to use. Begeara uses a phasor only, meaning valuable time is saved because players don’t need to put on (or take off) a vest. You can run more games with very little disruption to the fun being experienced. The Laser system from Begeara is packed with features to keep players and happy. With the fabulous GLOWING PHASORS, listen to the pack play “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to the birthday child, and see scores displayed on both the phasor and the GIANT LED SCOREBOARD. The primary focus of Begeara is simplicity. Begeara is so easy to use, anyone can operate it. Begeara delivers great game play and also loads of FUN! For more information or to reserve your laser party or maybe take it on a trial run (Public Laser) call 051 325097 today.

Summer Camp @ Activate

May 05, 2017 by admin in Uncategorized 0 comments
Due to the massive success of our Easter camps we reckon we better get planning early for our summer camps. After stocking up on new sports equipment, baking supplies and arts and crafts bits and bobs, we have plenty to keep out cute campers entertained! We have activities for everyone, come rain or shine we are good to go. We’ve got field games and picnics planned for the sunny days….and endless indoor activities for the inevitable rainy days. Our latest addition to our activity center is the amazing and exciting laser tag which we are sure our campers will be buzzing to try out. Booking is however essential, as to ensure everything runs smoothly for all involved, we need to ensure the correct adult to child ratio.   Further details will be released soon.
