Fun bouldering spot! You can rent shoes if needed as well. Beginner friendly up through more advanced climbing routes. Also has a very small gym area

First time visiting here with my 8 & 10 year old kids. Michael, the assistant manager was SUPER helpful answering a bunch of questions and getting us started climbing. He took the time to explain shoe fitment, the different routes the different membership options and so much more. My kids LOVED it and so did I. Will definitely be back and absolutely would recommend.

Really fun and challenging routes! Student day pass was perfect for breaking up a road trip. Staff was attentive and extremely friendly. Small fitness center with a single bench+rack+bar tucked off to the side to help you finish your training session. Perfectly empty for me, but I bet it might get backed up during peak hours. Bummed I wasn’t there on the beer night.
