We had such a great experience at the indoor rock climbing gym! It was a rainy summer day and the kids were bouncing off the walls at home, so this turned out to be the perfect solution. The facility is super clean, well-organized, and welcoming. There were plenty of climbing options for all skill levels, including areas that were just right for kids. My daughter especially had a blast — it was the perfect way for her to burn off energy while doing something active and challenging. One of the highlights of our visit was the front desk staff. The gentleman working that day was absolutely fantastic. He was so kind and patient with my daughter, who can be a bit sassy and strong-willed. He handled her energy like a pro, helping her choose the right climbing shoes and taking the time to walk her through the orientation. He explained the rules clearly and made sure she felt comfortable and excited to start climbing. His calm and friendly attitude really set the tone for a positive experience. We’ll definitely be coming back, especially this winter when outdoor activities are more limited. It’s a great place for kids to stay active, build confidence, and have a ton of fun in a safe, supportive environment. Highly recommend for families looking for a great indoor option!

Grand kids loved it. But not a comfy place if wanted to sit and wait for them. And definitely smells of sweat. They will be back for more classes.

Cool place, worth looking into the membership option if you're a frequent climber, day passes will add up *fast* Front desk was helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to show the full tour to a first timer. Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff gave a good introduction to rock climbing. Many easier tracks for beginners and plenty of experienced climbers to watch and learn from.

I was told by Lee Peterson that I was not allowed to ever come back in again due to “reasons he could not explain.” Unfortunately for them, they kicked out a fitness instructor, a part time career based climber and a whole hearted individual who wanted nothing but the best for the community, including the children and teens as a whole. I will never be back there. I pray for them to console with themselves as they have been proven to be intimidated by other instructors and coaches, and have witnessed such for the past 6 months. They broke their own rules when it came to teens training with weights, they broke their own rules regarding any etiquette on their own platform for gym rules. I am incredibly disappointed.
