I did not love my experience here. On the phone I was told my kids could climb unlimited time in the Climb Park but when I arrived it turned out to be for an hour. It cost $53 for an hour for both my kids (with shoe rental) but they were asked to take their gear off before their hour was up. Since they didn't start at the hour either in the end they climbed for about 40 minutes. It was not a flexible or friendly place. This did not feel like a good deal.

I was with my MIL & Niece; First time there. Felt alittle awkward at the initial counter not knowing what I was getting into, walked around giving myself my own tour of where things are, and what to do.
When it came to the climbing the walls, seemed as though the staff were on a script when it came to the safety announcement- but all in all had a great time. Learned lots, just thought staff would be more attentive to people who never been nor climbed a wall before. Very cool place, as I got used to the atmosphere and my nerves got shook off! Will be back:)
Thank you!

The options for auto belay are limited but it is still an extremely fun place to climb. I definitely will return.

Great experience for young and old. The learn to climb programs for kids is a huge hit with my daughter. When she is done a session, she looks worn out but is beaming from ear to ear.

Can't say enough good things about this place. THE best place to learn how to climb IMO. Staff is amazing

It was awesome.super simple check in process. Felt safe but was able to have fun on my first climb. Awesome. My kids birthday party is now the talk of the 4th grade!

My son is on a climbing team here and I can’t say enough about their dedication to keeping the place clean during covid. The holds are always being changed to set up varied challenge levels from “just want to play” in their kid park to bouldering and harness climbing. The team aspect is led by truly passionate coaches who have the skill and personality to relate to each youth. I’ve seen my 10 year old grow in strength and confidence that filters into his friendships and school life

My wife and I went to this gym while on honeymoon, as we were staying in Calgary for a few days before going to the mountains. The staff was incredibly nice. If I could give them 10 out of 5, I would

This place is amazing! Very beginner friendly and was great for me and my girlfriend since it was our first time. Shoutout to Luke for making it very enjoyable for us!

Had a fabulous time for our grandson's birthday. The staff were helpful and patient and there are lots of different climbing challenges for the kids.
15 July 2022 11:06
Love it here. This place gave me a real love for climbing. An awesome perk about this location when it’s nice outside they open the bay doors for some added fresh air and sunlight!
23 June 2022 9:10
Perfect place to practice makes practice makes perfect.hahaha it's worth it if you enjoy your indoor rock-climbing!
08 March 2022 12:28
The perfect place to encourage a budding rock climber. The staff understand children and safety, the passion for climbing is evident, most of all, it's a good solid of people who champion the sport and the culture.
24 November 2021 21:01
My daughter's absolutely had a blast. Can we have our birthday party here? Talk about a ringing endorsement
06 November 2021 15:57
Primarily rope climbing, so the bouldering section is kinda small. They use the C rating instead of the more common V. They also use some uncommon holds, and the setting style is more traditional (not comp style).
07 October 2021 12:26
Amazing if you do not have a harness or rock climbing shoes you can rent them there if you have kids above the age of four to six it's an amazing place to bring them there is a climbing fun gym kind of like inja nation and it is so fun you don't even need to rent a harness or shoes if you have regular shoes that are not dirty you can just climb on the bouldering section and you do not need a harness

Climb park is a great thing to do for some family fun. Cole was a super patient instructor and really made it fun for all of our different skill/comfort levels!
03 February 2021 8:46
I'm no climber so I don't have a lot of comparison. However, my son took their beginners classes and had an absolute blast! I would love to book a birthday party there!
18 January 2021 1:55
This is my favourite climbing gym. They have so many different routes. Staff are friendly and helpful.
24 November 2020 19:50
Climbing was great! $70 Indigo parking ticket in front of a closed business at 18: 50 was awful.
13 April 2020 15:41
Very nice, friendly staff. Only went to the playing/fun climbing area but we really enjoyed it! Good for everyone - kids and adults alike.
25 March 2020 19:16
We had my son's birthday there today and it was an outstanding experience. Every member of the staff was extremely friendly and happy to help. From booking the party, to using the climbing space this was by far our best birthday party we've done so far. Thank you CCC!
21 March 2020 8:48
Fun time for beginners! Staff was really nice and enthusiastic when we came. The walls and equipment looked great but I'm no expert. Parking is a little bit of a problem but once u get in you will have a blast!
24 February 2020 17:37
This is my favorite climbing gym in Calgary. The walls are tall enough, but not anywhere close to as busy as the other gyms. It is worth the drive.
18 February 2020 16:54
This place is fantastic! My 8 year old daughter ask to go here almost every weekend. It is clean, staff are amazing and it is just such a good overall vibe. It can be a little busy sometimes however, doesn’t affect the atmosphere. Wish they offered a monthly climbpark pass though as we come so much, lol.
18 February 2020 12:25
Good amount of walls, also a good variety for all skill levels. They also have a side that is very fun for kids and to challenge them.
08 February 2020 1:02
Gradually getting more and more expensive. If you're just visiting the area and if this is your back up plan from a rainy day in the mountains, it can easily cost over 40. Great facilities and staff though.
04 February 2020 10:45
Great facility and staff. Love this place. My wife and I just started rock climbing over a month ago. The staff have been awesome with, literally, showing us the ropes lol. Now we're totally hooked on our new hobby.
02 February 2020 2:17
Amazing place. All staff are so much kind and friendly. The place is so clean and various courses. Great place to spend good time with kids and family. The best
28 January 2020 12:19
We love this climbing facility. Juan the head setter does an amazing job of proving new routes regularly.
Such a great vibe overall with friendly staff and climbers.
23 November 2019 20:30
We have recently picked up climbing as a family. The staff are very helpful and very welcoming. I look forward to coming back.
06 November 2019 20:29
Great climbing gym!

I had a flight delayed for a day and was put up in a hotel by the airport. Imagine my surprise when I discover a climbing gym right next door!

The facility is clean, organized, well lit and spacious. The holds were certainly worn, but the routes were interesting and it seemed like a lot of route setting was taking place.

I was so glad I got to stop by for an unexpected climb and would be happy to go back again!
05 November 2019 1:24
Not bad. Definitely a bit far out of the way, which means you can get very empty gym at times (bonus!) or lots of families and people going to the climb park
21 October 2019 8:58
What an amazing place. Came here for a kids party and was blown away by how great a facility this was!
08 October 2019 12:09
Took my niece and nephew to have some fun on their day off from school. They had a blast, and were asking to go back right away. If you have a large group, fill out the waiver ahead of time on the website, as that will speed things up.
23 September 2019 8:47
Instructor went above and beyond for us when we were late for our lesson. I find the routes here very fun, on par with the rocky mountain location. Also gym is rarely crowded. Worth the drive out!
21 September 2019 13:29
My daughter asked for a birthday party in Calgary Climbing Centre. All the guests had lots of fun, some of them were climbing first time in their lives, but they all did well with the help of the instructor! All the kids were 8 years old and older, for younger kids 1 hour climbing can be too long and tiring. Two event rooms are upstairs for having pizza and birthday cake, you also can storage your belongings and presents there, as you have it for the time of your party, the room is included in price.
20 September 2019 7:07
My happy place. Staff are incredible and welcome me like a VIP and always ask how the climb is going. Setters are the best in the city.
08 June 2019 3:00
A great climbing gym with regularly changing routes. Boulder, top rope and lead climbing here plus there is a kids area, gear store and coffee/snacks for sale. You can rent equipment if you need. Parking gets a bit crazy so you may have to park down a ways.
13 May 2019 0:37
Wow this place is cool! I took my 7 year old daughter for an hour at their climb park side which features autobelays on about 20 different climbing features. Dont miss it there is actually a climb feature inside one of the pillars. The staff are super happy and make things easy even for novice or long lapsed climbers. I love this place!
30 April 2019 22:41
Took a family lesson - great experience, instructor was very good as well. Looking forward to our next visit.
16 April 2019 19:21
Only did lead there so far, so can't speak to the bouldering section yet. The walls and routes are both modern and varied. You could be just a 5.9 climber and still venture on long overhanging lead routes, and you won't be bored either if you can climb much harder routes. The place is clean, with a very good vibe. Cool setup, all top rope routes can also be done in lead if you want.
07 February 2019 12:14
Lot of options and innovative climbing experiences for kids. My daughter loved the slides, jumps and ninja style pillars! Probably the biggest climbing center in Calgary?
06 February 2019 11:24
The Climbpark is really good fun! Enjoyed it tremendously with my girlfriend and the staff member with us was nothing but the best. We had a great one hour (of which we were absolutely knackered at the end) doing all the different challenges and fun games created with the walls there.

Will definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone.
02 February 2019 12:09
The facility itself has a wide range of climbing options, however it could be cleaner. Another issue which I found is that there was no mention of having a photo ID, which adults are apparently required to have to participate. The staff was slightly rude about this rule and argumentive, stating this was sent out in the confirmation email. It wasn’t. Perhaps a little bit more organization needs to be implemented into this facility.
31 January 2019 4:11
It's definitely a great place to go to. Lots of walls to climb. Not too busy. I wish they had more options for their kids climbing park.
