Such a fun gym! Super kind people, plenty of autobelays. I almost want to rate it lower to keep it less busy 😅 haha but honestly this climbing gym is great for all skill levels and very beginner friendly!

Only climbing gym I've ever been to where i was told we had to be quiet so as not to disturb other climbers. I was there for and at a children's birthday party. We called ahead. We were told not to make a reservation if we had less than a dozen kids. We were not informed of any noise restrictions. It is accepted climbing culture to encourage and cheer for climbers typing routes, and that goes double for kids, or first time climbers. We were told not to do that, or even clap. Facilities were not well cleaned, looked after or cared for. Routes and holds haven't been changed or clean in at least 2 years according to an older kid who was there 2 years ago. Chalk buildup backs that claim. Will not return.

My son had his first climbing experience here, and he absolutely loved it! The staff was friendly and encouraging, and the environment felt very safe. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Loved it here! I am a total beginner and they were very welcoming and informative. Chatted with some friendly people as well, very chill and easy going atmosphere. Had a blast with all the variety of climbing but mostly stuck to the auto belays which there are 6 of with three levels of runs per auto belay. I highly recommend it if you're interested in climbing!!

Our family really wanted to try out rock climbing, and we had heard good things about Source. I am so glad we decided to give them a shot! The customer service was great. The atmosphere was great. There were easy sections for my you get kids, and more difficult sections for the older ones. I felt very safe allowing my younger ones, as they were all required to go through safety instructions before they were allowed to climb. We enjoyed it so much, we are now looking into a monthly membership. If you're in the area and looking for somewhere to rock climb or Boulder, this is the place!
