Wonder what it's like? Ask our happy climbers!
This place was a blast! It was definitely a shock coming in and seeing that the demographic was mostly young children, but that definitely did not stop my group from thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Most of us had limited experience climbing, but there was a good enough variety in the different courses that made it less daunting, and nicer to work up towards as we spent more time at the facility.
This is such an amazing indoor climbing place to bring kids! The facility is spotless and very well maintained, which makes it feel safe and welcoming right from the start. The staff are super friendly, patient, and attentive—they go out of their way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and has a great time. There are so many different climbing walls and activities to choose from, which keeps kids engaged and excited the whole time.
AHH such a fun and new experience. It’s was my first time rocking climbing and the environment was amazing. If I’m being honest my boyfriend kind of forced me bc I was so nervous I held off. Our instructor Steve was hilarious and made it such a comfortable experience. Definitely worth and coming back!!🥳🥳
My daughters had an amazing time climbing, exploring, and building their confidence on the ropes and towers. The safety harnesses made us feel secure, and the friendly instructors guided them with patience and encouragement. This is one of the best indoor adventure spots we’ve visited. Highly recommended for families with young children! ❤️1

My daughter had a blast for her 8th birthday party. The pizza was great, good quality and tastes delicious. The manager Tristan was super nice and so helpful. As soon as I get there, I was greeted by such a sweet and friendly young lady and they let me set up even though I was early. Our host Ashely was fantastic, super helpful and so so sweet. 10 out of 10 experience.
