Climbing, bouldering, and kid zone. Fun to come back after 20 years and see how the place has grown!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children of mixed ages — the dedicated kids zone gives younger climbers a space scaled to them, as auto-belay lanes let older kids and adults rope climb without a belay partner. First-time family visits are well-supported by staff. Serious bouldering enthusiasts may find the training area less advanced than larger urban gyms.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Start younger or first-time climbers in the dedicated kids zone before moving to the auto-belay or bouldering walls.
Auto-belay lanes allow rope climbing without a certified belay partner — no extra training required for family visits.
🎟️Staff actively assist with harness fitting; arrive a few minutes before your session to get everyone set up comfortably.
🚗The gym has been in the community for over 20 years — ask staff about current youth or beginner programs that may not be prominently listed online.

Great staff, welcoming to newcomers and very helpful. Tons of routes to try in the kids area, the bouldering area, the auto belay walls, the rope belay walls and the line walls. Very clean facility with lots to offer for all ages and experience levels.

This is a small gym but at least they charge properly. This review is by someone who loves the sport and really cares about progressing. Great gym for what it is, but very disappointing compared to gyms in Orlando or Miami. I really wish we had a bigger gym in the area. The bouldering area was not designed well and it feels claustrophobic. There is a lot of top rope, but most require a belayer. I wish this gym had a kilter board instead of the god awful tension board. I wish I didn't have to go to Orlando for good bouldering.

It’s ok for sport, since there are some routes to climb but for training bouldering area it’s not so good.
