What's inside
“The only downside is they they use tape instead of colored rocks for bouldering, so as a beginner sometimes it can be hard to tell what the route is, but you catch on pretty quick.”
What climbers say again and again
“We had my son’s 7th birthday party here and he had a blast.”
“Super welcoming gym with a huge variety of climbs setting is really well done ropes are not worth it, though as the walls are a bit shorter.”

From the reviews
Stopped in with my daughter (age 10) with a Groupon. The gentlemen behind the desk were VERY nice with a great sense of humor. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. We had a great time. The groupon provided a temp membership for 2 weeks following the day of our first visit.
Birthday party @ the rock gym. We had a birthday party for our 7 year old daughter today and it was great! It was much better than we expected. We had around 25 kids, and they were easily able to accommodate them all.
Very spacious gym with lots of bouldering and top rope options. Staff is friendly and fellow climbers are chill. It's not the cleanest and is a bit sandbagged: the routes are almost all marked at a level above what they should be and are not rotated frequently.
We had my son’s 7th birthday party here and he had a blast. Age range of kids was from 4-9 and the instructors were able to accommodate them all, and provide lots of opportunities for the kids to climb.
