General Information
A Birthday They'll Never Forget!
Our birthday parties are 2 hours long and include instructor-led climbing in our private Party Climbing Area. This dedicated space is separated from the rest of the crag, allowing your group to stay together while enjoying a fun and exciting climbing experience.
During the climbing session, participants can:
- Quickly clip in and out of our (3) dedicated auto-belays.
- Get belayed on the top rope climbs in the party area by our staff.
- Enjoy our outdoor boulder and area for lawn games during nice weather
Whether they're first-time climbers or experienced adventurers, our goal is for every child to have an unforgettable experience.
Dedicated Climbing Guides
Every party includes two or more professional Climbing Guides (depending on your group size) to ensure a fun and engaging experience.
Our staff will:
- Properly fit every climber with a climbing harness
- Provide a safety orientation before climbing
- Belay participants on top rope routes
- Supervise auto-belay climbing
- Lead fun climbing games and activities throughout the event
Parents can relax knowing our experienced staff is taking care of the climbing while the kids focus on having fun.

Parents or guardians who have not completed a waiver before arrival will need to do so at one of our waiver stations before entering the facility.
What to Wear
For the best climbing experience, participants should wear:
- Athletic shoes with closed toes
- Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement
For safety reasons, sandals, flip-flops, open-toed shoes, Crocs, and similar footwear are not permitted while climbing. Climbing shoes can be rented for an additional cost.
Pick-Up
Please arrange for all children to be picked up promptly at the scheduled end of the party so we can prepare for our next event.

Climbing Shoes
If your kids would like to use climbing shoes, we are happy to rent those to each child as well. Our party participants can rent shoes for $6/pair if they wish. However, for most kids that don't have extensive climbing experience, climbing in athletic shoes is sufficient and requires less time to get the kids started and climbing. You can decide this on the day of the party.
