Imagine a rock climbing wall that's a perfect example of our country. Well, here you go. Egotistical absentee leaders. Getting weirder all the time and neglected. Some people just have too much money to have a good heart.

It’s looks bigger on the inside! Great place with a wonderful owner. Very relaxed atmosphere with fun and challenging routes. Staff is knowledgeable and even took the time to teach me rock climbing games. That’s why The Bouldering Garden has been my favorite rock climbing gym for my family more than a decade.

Our troop of 19 scouts had an outstanding experience at the Bouldering Garden. The staff was patient and kind in dealing with all of the young climbers, and the owner took time to inquire about our scouting needs and shared many of his own climbing experiences with the group. This was very helpful in helping our boys get ready and excited for the climbing merit badge. We look forward to our first outdoor climb with the staff from Bouldering Garden. also, the cost was a very affordable. This is a Wonderful place!

Was nervous to take my daughter there because of her severe autism. The staff has been very kind to her and none of the other climbers have shown the tiniest ounce of frustration with her.

The worst gym I have been to. Not because of how small it is, or that all the routes are marked by peeling tape... but because nearly every time I go there they are closed during their business hours, or the employees are late to open. I had a 3 month membership, and went every week. And they’re rude. It’s too bad this is the only gym in our town.

This is a great environment to climb, work out, get in shape, and meet a kind community of climbers. The owner is easy to talk to and takes climbers on outdoor excursions to learn to climb outdoors. The bouldering garden is also an excellent venue for parties and events.

Great place for family physical fun! Been here several times and the staff has always been welcoming and easy to ask questions of. Unlike a large climbing tower, you don't need to worry about belay work or freezing up because of heights. Plenty of different and changing routes and a tread climber to get even the most timid climbing.

Great place to meet local climbers and get excellent training for both bouldering and rope climbing. Also a family friendly atmosphere with knowledgeable staff and ownership. Highly recommended.

We had our 6 yr old birthday party here and it was fantastic. While this is definitely a true climbing gym the staff were great and our kids had a blast climbing and jumping around. It actually worked out really well with the other regular climbers that were there as well as our kids loved watching them do all the hard stuff, especially the slack line. Now my family wants to join! Great atmosphere, clean, safe, and friendly. Thanks.
