Great Place for Birthday Party!

by jnd

Ok, I don't usually write these reviews, but we recently took our boys (ages 10-13) here for their birthday party and it was fantastic! We basically had the place to ourselves. We found the staff very accomodating; they encouraged the boys and gave them pointers on how to make it up the walls. We, the parents, didn't have to do anything; we took pictures and watched. The boys loved the physical challenge and (at the end) the competition of racing each other up the wall. You could see the confidence, determination and satisfaction on their faces with each climb. Our boys commented, "This was the best party ever!" I would highly recommend this place, especially if you have high energy kids like ours!

• Pros: Kids really get a workout.

Great confidence builder for kids

by LWill

We recently held a birthday party at Wall Crawlers. I hate birthday parties. I may change my mind. Kids came in unsure of their abilities, and left beaming over their accomplishments. By the end of two hours, they were begging for more opportunities to climb and so proud of what they could do. Sending a child home with this confidence and enthusiasm was better than any goodie bag.

• Pros: People who are patient, yet firm with kids

Great experience for pre-teen boys - great birthday party

by TTinDecatur

How cool is it to go to a birthday party as an 11 year old boy and climb walls? And how cool is it to be a parent who gets to watch them wear themselves out and have a blast with very little effort on your part? To quote a parent - "this is so much better than hosting a sleepover" - and for those of you parents who have had sleepovers, you know what I mean.

Great for the boys - it was an athletic thing to do but also dobale for everyone. And it was a good confidence boost for them too. Who knows, it may even have sparked a future passion for one or two of them too.

Can't go wrong with this party idea - especially for the pre-teen set.

• Pros: Experts show you how, setting feels authentic and cool
