Best occasions to use the Human Claw: birthdays, events and more

The Human Claw is one of the most unique and entertaining attractions available at Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse. Participants are safely harnessed and lowered above a giant pit filled with colourful balls and confectionery-themed surprises, becoming the “claw” themselves.

Whether you are planning a kids’ birthday party, a school holiday outing, a corporate event or simply looking for a fun activity with friends and family, the Human Claw turns a visit to Tom’s into a memorable experience filled with laughter, movement and confectionery-themed fun.

What is the Human Claw and how does it work?

• A playful challenge suitable for kids, teens and adults
