WHAT FLYERS ARE SAYING ABOUT Brisbane Trapeze Academy
LOUISE
Friendly staff, great with the kids.
My daughter loved it!
First went to Brisbane Trapeze Academy having never done flying trapeze before. Regular sessions with the BTA team have improved not only my skills on flying trapeze, but my strength and my ability to deal with heights. Love flying trapeze and the crew are excellent. I always feel safe with them.
10/10 would recommend.
Really fun and unique experience for kids and adults. Super supportive team.
