First time rock climbing as a birthday celebration. I had an amazing time. Austin went above and beyond with his customer service. He is an awesome guy! I recommend this place if you want to have a fun time

Samantha the party coordinator did such an amazing job! She really made my son’s birthday party special. She was approachable, vivacious, and really gave all the kids a great time. Also, Jimmy at the front desk was very helpful and answered all of my question.

★★★★★ — Matt, Jan 2020

Great place to rock climb! Always updating climbing walls. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Great for birthday parties, they will work with you to accommodate your party. Clean with plenty of convenient parking.

Birthday parties at Niagara Climbing Center

Niagara Climbing Center hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. 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.
