From the reviews
Even after many, many years of being in business, Rocknasium continues to stay true to its roots: awesome climbing routes, friendly staff and a super fun environment for all ages. It’s a must-stop destination in Davis!
I really like this place. The crux is convincing your wife to get a membership and belay you and to give up the house so you can live full time in a Toyota Tacoma and travel the US so you can support your climbing addiction.
The Rocknasium feels like home. The staff is made up of a wide range of people of all ages and they’re all super kind and supportive. They’re always walking around helping members, especially young kids, get started on their rock climbing journey.
Very friendly and helpful staff, good atmosphere. I found the bouldering sets quite difficult, with not a lot in the V1-3 range. If you're happy with V4 and above you should be ok. Similarly with the couple of autobelays. If you're good with 5.11 or so they'll work for you.
