Tried this gym for the first time and had a pretty good time. Aiden gave us a great lesson for free. If you're gonna learn from someone, he's the guy.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids ages 6 and up who want guided instruction before climbing independently. Free staff-led lessons make this one of the most accessible first-visit experiences in the DC area. Adults and children can climb simultaneously at their own levels.
