From the reviews
Great bouldering area! Our two boys loved it to climb there. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and locker rooms are super clean.
We've been here a few times and always a good time. Wish we lived closer, it's about an hour and 20 from us. The routes are changed and the kids always enjoy it. I love how it's family friendly because there are always a good number of little kids. Just nice to see them included in the sport
My family and I love this gym. We have used several of their services and even the kids services. My 5 year old daughter loves all of her instructors in her Leaping Lemurs group. The gym is clean, well lit, and personnel is friendly and knowledgeable.
Really cool place, lots of climbing options, all the equipment you need to do so. They also a yoga studio, treadmills, and some barbells and plates for lifting. Also sometimes there are dogs you can say hi too. Definitely worth checking out
