From the reviews
My son and I have been going to the venture climb regularly since we discovered it. I don't have much to compare it to but I think the facility is outstanding. With the auto-belay units a beginner can climb with no prior knowledge. It's an excellent physical challenge and both of us are cooked after an hour and a half.
Climbing center is fantastic here. I really like the employees that work it as they are knowledgeable and very willing to help. I haven't tried much of the other activities here but they seem good too. I kind of wish the bouldering wall was a bit better rated but this is a great facility to start trying climbing at.
Mahoney State Park entry $6 Activity Center fee $5 4 hours of off the chain playtime…… priceless!! This place was very clean and my two-year-old and six-year-old both had an endless amount of fun. They never got bored the entire time they were here we will be returning multiple times.
Clean and fun place for families with teens and small children. Beautiful view, great price, nice staff. This was our first time, but I see us coming back a lot.
