From the reviews
We had such a fun time at Zenith climbing center. We have taken our boys who are aged seven and eight numerous times as it is fun for the entire family. The staff is very friendly. The place is very clean. And they change course often enough to keep us coming back.
Great climbing gym! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Routes changed regularly, varying in difficulty. Good mix of top rope, auto belays, lead climbing, and bouldering. Other gym equipment available for use as well. Rental gear is good too, but the shoes... Not so much.
It is not a very big gym, but definitely offers a good variety of routes. Each route seems to offer a good array of holds, so you'll definitely see something you hate and also something you love in each!
I've been here twice now and will be picking up a membership soon. This place is amazing, the staff, the facility, the equipment are all amazing. I used to climb obsessively years ago and am now introducing my two children to this awesome sport.
