Super fun gym! Loved the setting, especially the routes. So many different styles and options.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 6 and up who want an active, skill-building outing. The separate kids' climbing area keeps younger children engaged safely. Parents with multiple children at different skill levels will find enough variety to keep everyone moving. Birthday party bookings can reserve the kids' area—plan ahead on busy weekends.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Arrive early on weekends—the kids' climbing area can be reserved for birthday parties, reducing open-play access
First-time climbers should sign up for an intro class to learn harness use and basic technique
🎟️Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times
🚗Bring grip socks or plan to rent shoes; liquid chalk and chalk socks are both permitted

Went for the first time with 3 of my sons ages 9,7, and 6. While it did get a bit crowded and the smaller climbing area was closed off for a birthday party (understandable), the experience was awesome. My kids absolutely loved it and it was a very welcoming environment. From when we first got there until we left we had a wonderful experience. I paid for myself to climb and winded up not climbing at all so I could watch my kids. They refunded my money which most places likely wouldn’t do. My kids are asking to go back asap! Highly recommend!!

Loved coming here once or twice a week when it was on ClassPass, but it got taken off. Bring it back to ClassPass?? Please?

The temperature in this facility is unacceptably cold. I've observed staff huddling around a small space heater, which tells you everything you need to know about the working conditions. For a climbing gym, this isn't just uncomfortable - it's a safety issue. Cold muscles are injury-prone muscles. The cafe appears to be closed, which limits options for anyone spending significant time here. Most disturbing: I heard a staff member use "gay" as an insult. In 2026. This isn't a middle school cafeteria - it's supposed to be a professional business. Homophobic language has no place in any public space, but especially not one that should welcome all athletes. Queer people climb, and we pay attention to whether facilities create hostile environments. The freezing temperatures, shuttered amenities, and apparent tolerance for discriminatory language suggest ownership has stopped investing in this place. Other climbing gyms in the area manage to heat their buildings and maintain professional standards. Climbers have options.
