  • Christine L.August 2026

    Great little climbing place. My family visits often and always pleased. My children attended the summer camp program and its filled with so many fun things, they raved when I picked them up every day! Yes its older and small but its still fantastic. Held a birthday party here as well and it was very well run and fun!

  • Hwai B.August 2026

    We booked our son’s birthday party here and had an amazing time. The booking process was very easy and explained perfectly over the phone. The party area was equipped with tables for eating and serving our food. We had an ice cream cake which they kept in their freezer for us and even provided plates, cups, cutlery, napkins and even a knife to cut the cake. The party room has an open view to the rock climbing wall which was really nice. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly and welcomed the adults to give it a try too. We had a great experience and would definitely book again. Pricing was very reasonable in our opinion as well. A great value for a bday party…

  • Megan S.February 2026

    Visited for the first time and had so much fun. We did a staff assisted climb and Cooper was very knowledgeable and helpful. He encouraged us to try different walls and climb to the top. We will definitely be returning in the future!

  • Farin D.September 2026

    Hello, yes I'd be happy to do so. During our visit, two of the staff were incredibly rude to us. One ridiculed us while we were trying to tie a knot, and the other yelled at us, grabbing the belay from me as one of us were already climbing, while we had already been cleared to do so. I truly understand that some things are done for safety's sake, but there is always a way to do so without talking down and condescendingly and making people feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Other than that, we had no concerns about the facility, only the interactions with the staff.

  • So S.August 2026

    Love this climbing gym. Friendly staff, good atmosphere! Great youth classes too

  • SarahOctober 2022

    Very friendly and accommodating staff. We showed up late and they were busy with the kids camp but still took time to do an orientation for us. The gym is rather small but the climbs are still pretty fun. Worth checking out if you are in the area!
