From the reviews

Bouldering. Auto belay. Great variations of difficulty of courses. We went with 8yo -14yo and they all enjoyed it

★★★★★ — Eric, Jun 2022

Took my 2 kids, they are 5 and 8, first time ever rock climbing. Staff was amazing, helped us so much, and encouraged my kiddos. I would recommend asking and talking to the staff about the training so you are able to belay for your kids, this will give them more walls too climb.

★★★★★ — Keith, Apr 2024

I took my niece and nephews climbing a couple of weeks ago at Scrapyard and we all enjoyed it! There’s some decent routes for all climbing levels and plenty for young kids too. The instructor did a great job going over the safety procedures. We’d definitely go back!

★★★★★ — Brad, Feb 2024

Everyone had a great time. Those experienced and the first time climbers all felt welcome and enjoyed climbing at this location.
