Went for specificly bouldering and was definitely challenged by the routes set there. I will definitely come back to turner next time I'm in Milwaukee

Best for families with kids ages 8 and up who want an affordable, community-driven climbing experience. The bouldering areas are accessible for beginners, and instructors can guide first-time climbers through the basics. Children under 14 must have an adult present on the floor.
