What should I take to Scale?

Our best advice for Scale is to wrap up warm! It is pretty chilly at the top of the stadium and unless you are doing the zip line or abseil you don't need to wear a helmet, so take a warm hat.

Do not wear loose-fitting clothes, flip flops, sandals, crocs, open-toes shoes, or high heels. There are also lockers you can use at Scale as you are not allowed to take anything up in a bag or have anything in your pockets.

Are there photo opportunities at Scale?

Yes, there are designated photo spots around the different parts of Scale and you can later buy these photos after your experience. Want less ads? Download WalesOnline’s Premium app on Apple or Android.
