What's inside
“In time they will slap some high dollar volumes on the walls and this place will hold its own with some other popular inner city bouldering halls.”
“Love coming here in the evenings - they’ve got a partnership with a yoga studio as well so you can be extra limber on the wall.”
“They even have a small gym (some weights, hangboard, rowing machine but no other cardio).”

From the reviews
Small bouldering gym with a decent variety of angles that includes a small training area. The staff was friendly and the setting was decent. Definitely an old school feel in both setting and hold selection - which isn’t a bad thing!
We got parking right in front. They’re safety video is hilarious but also informative. This is bouldering not rock climbing, so no harnesses or lines, you are free climbing. Different levels of difficulty for beginners to experts. Clean facility includes weight room, showers, restrooms.
Happy place for my whole family— dad is a new climber and nobl makes him so comfortable learning the walls, seven year old son is in a fantastic youth class led by the most miraculously optimistic coaches, and mom, who doesn’t climb, still gets plenty of time to read, watch, and be proud!
Had two great sessions on my trip to the Big Easy. This is a great gym with ample wall space and a good variety of problems for all abilities. In time they will slap some high dollar volumes on the walls and this place will hold its own with some other popular inner city bouldering halls.
Birthday parties at New Orleans Boulder Lounge
New Orleans Boulder Lounge 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.
Kids classes & camps at New Orleans Boulder Lounge
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at New Orleans Boulder Lounge — 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.
