“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.”

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.

★★★★★ — Caroline, Oct 2021

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.

★★★★☆ — Sophie, Jan 2022

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.

Philadelphia Rock Gyms - East Falls 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.
