From the reviews
Connor was amazing , He was so patient and kind while training . This was my first time rock climbing indoor and it was absolutely amazing .
This is a great climbing gym. While not as big as some gyms, there is still a wide selection of bouldering and top roped climbs. The 3 story elevator shaft is fun and great for building endurance. There are new routes all the time. I definitely recommend vertical dreams.
Great place for team gatherings, kids birthdays. They have two locations Manchester snd Nashua. Pics are of Manchester location
Just had our 7 year old's birthday party here - other than a lack of signage too find the place (5th floor, can go in the front North entrance or the back Riverside entrance) it was great.
