1 / 2Stone Climbing - STA
📍 St. Augustine, FL
Stone Climbing - STA features 50-foot rope climbing walls, elite bouldering walls, a dedicated kids' area called the Grom Grotto, birthday party packages for ages up to 12, an on-site café, and gear rentals. Family monthly memberships available.
When finances are tight and you need to simplify the monthly budget… Be serious- Milk, rent, and a STONE membership are all you REALLY need. We joined Stone as a family of 8 in August this past year and from the day we walked in, it felt like a second home. Nina greeted us with joyful enthusiasm and proceeded to find SIX pairs of climbing shoes that properly fit our little to medium sized boys. Pause to think about the dedication that requires. ✨ We have yet to meet a staff member we don’t love- Eric (the owner), Emily, Bryce, Cody and many more at the Jax location have all been over the top friendly and helpful- especially to my little ones. The clubs are fantastic, including fun games and higher level instruction that helps them grow as climbers. We have used the room upstairs at both locations for school work in between climbs, another awesome perk we received members. Finally, everything in this gym is the perfect mix of professional and chill. The music is FUN, the bathrooms are impressively clean and showers so convenient. I love that there is a room with weights to use if I ever feel inspired to lift something. More often than not, you’ll find us at the ping pong table! If you’re looking for somewhere to chill and get stronger with some encouraging people and fun vibes, it’s impossible to leave this place in a bad mood. My kids have grown in confidence and strength and for that, I can’t thank Stone enough!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
One of the most family-structured climbing gyms in Florida. The Grom Grotto serves kids up to age 8 in a purpose-designed zone. Party packages for ages up to 12 are well-staffed and beginner-ready. Families of 8 report feeling at home from the first visit. The café means no need to pack food for longer sessions.

“We booked an afternoon of climbing at Stone Climbing with our church youth group. We had an awesome time. Emily and the staff did an amazing job involving our teens in team building activities. Our kids loved it. They got to know each other better and had a great time. They even provided a private room for us to do a devotion time. This was the best fellowship outing we have ever done. We will surely do this again. Thank you to the incredible staff. David Rice Regeneration Fellowship”

“This place is special. Visiting from out of town, I took my two kids here on a rainy day. We were warmly welcomed by the staff. As beginners and newcomers, they never made us feel dumb when we asked questions. The facility is clean and bright, there’s cool people, a real sense of community, great music playing and, overall, an incredible facility. There was plenty of room to climb, challenging environments, diverse areas to explore (and learn, if you were newbies like us). It’s so cool that something like this exists in St. Augustine. We had such a fun and memorable afternoon. Hats off the to staff and the community for building such a rad place!”
