From the reviews

I’ve been climbing here for just over six months, and I’ve grown to love the environment here! The routes could be reset more often (they’re just now resetting some belay routes originally set in October and it’s December now), but there are so so so many routes to choose from that I feel like I’m never waiting too…

I think it's a fun activity and the fact is ---there is not much to do in B-town. So this is just perfect. It does get a bit too hot in the summer, so I wish for a better AC but it's a great workout. I love being a member---free yoga once a week is a nice perk. Overall, one happy climber. :)

Hoosier Heights Bloomington is Awesome! The staff are professional, helpful, and supportive of climbers of all levels of experience and the facility is amazing! Not only does it have an awesome roped climbing building where you can top-rope, auto-belay, and lead climb, but it has a separate chapel with a huge indoor…

Birthday parties at Hoosier Heights Bloomington

Hoosier Heights Bloomington 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.
