From the reviews
Really enjoyed climbing here. Good route setting and had everything I needed to complete a fun training session. A group of kids came in and you could tell they had a blast. I’d recommend snacks or drinks for sale.
Zack and Kate are great people, they will truly make you feel comfortable. They change routes consistently so you aren’t doing the same problems over. The gym has tons of room so you can spread out. Shoe rentals are available. I think this will be an Athens staple.
Great staff and courses on the wall(s) for all levels of experience and strength. Definitely a great place to boulder and the day pass for college students like me is only $6.
Had my daughters birthday here , was great can't say enough good things. Every kid there had a blast! They have 2 games they play with them. Kids loved glow in dark climbing.
Birthday parties at Blockhouse Bouldering Gym
Blockhouse Bouldering Gym hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Kids classes & camps at Blockhouse Bouldering Gym
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at Blockhouse Bouldering Gym — climbing classes, school-break camps, or a youth team where kids learn technique from coaches instead of just scrambling around. Program schedules and age groups change each season, so check the current lineup before you plan around one.
