What's inside
“Bouldering, both Belay and Auto-Belay setups, and courses for all levels of climbing.”
“He rotates which paths have an auto belay, so even if you’re here by yourself you get variety in which route you can take.”

From the reviews
Awesome place. Jen and Kevin are great. Both our kids started climbing there by the time they were 8 years old, and continued with Stone Age Rock Gym for outdoor climbing during the summers. Great focus on safety, great with kids, and a relaxed, casual atmosphere - not at all "corporate" or stuffy!
I can’t say enough for Stone Age! We held my son’s 3rd birthday here and although he was the youngest in the group he still had a ball! Kevin and his team made sure all of the kids (3-11) and adults were safe and enjoying themselves. I really don’t know if the kids or the adults had more fun!
We had a suuuper large group there and the staff was friendly and professional! They really know their stuff. It was our first experience with indoor rock climbing. What was nice also was the gear was included in our large group price. The children all had fun and they even encouraged the smaller ones to climb.
Brought the whole family and we all had a blast. Very clean facility for these crazy times. Staff is amazing and so is the gym. Thanks for the great memories ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Birthday parties at Stone Age Rock Gym
Stone Age Rock Gym 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.
