From the reviews
We rented out the climbing gym for an evening with friends this week and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. $150 covered private use of the entire gym for two hours, along with all of our equipment (for up to 12 people), and instruction from Jon, who was friendly, professional, encouraging, and just…
We love it here. The staff are very kind & responsible. I'm glad they've changed things a little for the homeschool hrs so that every 1 can have fair climbing time & not trying to make a kid wait over 20mins.
It's a wonderful place, that has a homie feeling. Great staff that will help you out happily. They also have organic local snacks that I can't get enough of. I must say it's my favorite climbing place.
Great place for beginners and for others to practice their skills. Our instructor Ethan was top notch and very patient with the kids. Thank you! We are definitely visiting again. The kids loved it.
Birthday parties at The Crux at Pok-O-MacCready
The Crux at Pok-O-MacCready 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.
