“This place is great for birthday parties for your kids, its amazing what your kids can learn in such a short class.”

From the reviews

This place is great for birthday parties for your kids, its amazing what your kids can learn in such a short class. I saw once a birthday party for little 5 year old kids, and the birthday boy did his first ever kartweel. And it was a really good begging kartweel.

★★★★★ — Nir, Nov 2013

Went there for a kids birthday party. Looks like a very serious gym (in a good way). Not a lot of fuzz, just sweat.

★★★★☆ — Chris, Apr 2016

Everyone is very nice, very clean place with lots of different stations. The only con is the price for lessons.

★★★★★ — Rikki, Jun 2016

This is a fun place for a kid's birthday party. The facility has a great history of fostering Olympic level talent.

★★★★☆ — Rob, Apr 2016

Birthday parties at Exxcel Gymnastics & Climbing

Exxcel Gymnastics & Climbing hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. 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.
