Friendly staff, good variety of routes that are fairly rated. New routes pop up every three weeks or so, so if you climb often you may run out of new routes in your level. Can get crowded as there are often kids classes or group nights would recommend avoiding "guys night" on Wednesdays. I really like this gym when it's not too crowded but I do have a similar complaint to some of the other reviewers. I've been going biweekly for probably two months now and usually there's like one or two people in the way of the top roping walls. They'll move if you ask but I shouldn't have to. However, yesterday there was a huge crowd of boulderers blocking like a fourth of the available top roping routes. Even worse, a coach/staff member was blocking a few routes in another spot having a meeting while sitting under a top rope wall! I know we are uncommon and most people autobelay or boulder, but it just comes off as really rude especially when they can clearly see us trying to climb. Wish they would enforce climbing etiquette more.
Great day pass to kill a few hours and tire the kids out. Staff so nice and helpful. Kids had so much fun!
I'd like to be able to give this gym a higher rating - it's a great space with awesome route setting, and I know there are a lot of nice people there who genuinely care about the sport of climbing and making the gym a nice place to be. But as someone who goes here regularly I just can't, and do have to agree with some of the other reviews that have been left. Members come last at this gym - youth teams, after school classes, and birthday parties, are given absolute priority. Especially on the weekends the gym is mainly used as a family fun center, with no consideration for anyone who is there to actually try and climb. The main issue though is safety - I've been at this gym on many an occasion, particularly on weekends, when huge numbers of kids have been running, unsupervised, throughout the entire gym, screaming and throwing themselves onto the mats and walls, often directly below climbers. It can be complete chaos, and very much feels like a Chuck-E-Cheese. Unfortunately, while this is happening, it seems staff are never anywhere to be found. Despite the great space and route setting, for anyone looking to get in a serious climbing session it can be really hard to do so here.
Great indoor rock climbing gym, a little small but the other chains located in massachusetts offer a much larger space and more challenging walls to climb. This location is great for friends and family to hangout at, there's also a brewery right next store! ; The staff is very knowledgable and helpful to climbers of all experiences. Highly recommend taking the intro to climbing course as it also comes with a 10 day pass to the gyms and the course gives you a great overview of how to prepare for climbing out on your own.
6 STARS!!! We had an epic family day at Sunday open climb.... This is a great place for kids and adults who are not athletic, or for a family that wants to do something together. You have to encourage each other and it really builds cohesion The equipment and walls and staff are top-notch!
The staff are so friendly and very knowledgeable. The place is really big, with lots of different rock patterns, auto belay. I highly recommend this place!!
I love that it's fun for me and fun for my son. In a couple times per week to climb and for yoga. There's a schedule they follow for resetting walls that always keeps it fresh, while still letting you work on a project for up to a month before a reset.
Very open and roomy gym that has never been crowded when I am there. The staff is young and overall pretty easy going and nice. The bouldering walls are awesome and have plenty of variety, they are also changed about every 3 weeks or so which gives you plenty of time to come back and get the route you were stuck on or get some new features if you've hit them all before. The top-rope walls are nice looking too although I've never personally used them besides trying to boulder the horizontal stretch of the facility. Not really sure what sort of experience Devin^ had but I got as often as I can.
