★★★★★Featured review by Gavyn Jacobsen

Great bouldering gym, many diverse and challenging routes, I’ve always really liked the staff, seldom crowded.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for school-age kids and teens who want a real physical challenge without ropes or harnesses. Parents can climb alongside children on the same walls. Youth must be supervised. Beginners and experienced climbers can both find appropriate routes.

I like the gym. Way less crowded than MBP. It’s feels a little lifeless but hey, it’s a gym not some luxury hotel. I do like the giant monstera plant and snake plant they have. The weights and equipment room is great. The setting is hit or miss. The staff is very nice!
