They have pretty diverse options for top roping. The gym was set up from a previous youth comp, but we enjoyed the challenge of that. We found that the non-comp courses may have been graded slightly easier than other gyms, but still enjoyable. The staff were fantastic- knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to help. And they have awesome stickers, which was a nice bonus. Pricing was at par with other gyms, and of course cheaper if you're bringing your own gear!

It works on a slightly different hook-in system, but doing it this way invites you to be present in what you are doing, and also adds another level of safety when you and buddy are looking out for each other. There are multiple levels of the ropes course, each more challenging than the other. The ground level is made for kids under 12 and it's a great intro to the latching system and "learning the ropes", so to speak. The very top level is black diamond level difficulty... I've seen a few kids brought to tears up there, and I imagine some adults have cried too. But there are a few levels in between that are a good balance of fun and challenging, while also very safe. Another great upside of buying the full ticket is the zip lines. So much fun! There are a few that you can access from the main course and a few that are nestled in the woods. I was terrified of zip lining before visiting and now I feel good about it. A lot of that is how skilled and thoughtful the whole staff is. They make you feel safe and also encourage you to face your fears and have a great time! Shout out to Bethel for running the whole show and creating a memorable experience for both kids and adults alike. They are only open for the summer and it's a good idea to make a reservation online, just in case it's a particularly busy day. Can't wait to return next year!

There's an outdoor deck/patio that you can sit and relax on too if you want to take a break from your workout. Although the bouldering section is relatively smaller (compared to the Portsmouth location which is entirely bouldering), there is a good variety of problems and wall angles, plus an additional smaller wall on the upper level. Price wise, I'd say it's a little steep especially if you only want to boulder (or only ropes- I wish gyms offered discounts for one type of climbing but I understand that would be difficult to track/enforce). And amenities are a little older/dated, but they do have showers, foot rinse stations etc. And a nice retail/merch section of front. For first time visitors - I know every gym has its standards/procedures, but the entire mandatory walkthrough and explanation of all classes/events offered is a bit overkill in my opinion. I think that is something that should be announced/posted on flyers and elaborated on in person on a case-by-case basis. All in all though, I do enjoy this facility and try to make it out at least once during my annual beach vacation in Maine. @azfitfoodfun

The room is set up with different aspects of the real Ninja Warrior course (the tic-tac jumps, the ledge, the warped wall, the invisible monkey bars, the pull-up bar jump things--can you tell I don't know the real names of this stuff?). They also have vaults and crash mats so you can just play around. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Our group of 10 had a blast in the space, even if we couldn't really do many of the things, we had fun trying or even just jumping from high spaces. The more athletic/better shape you are the more you'll be able to do, but I highly recommend renting out the space for a party or a group--it's very reasonably priced and you can work the obstacles that match your fitness level! Would definitely visit there or take classes if I lived in the area!

I had with me a fanny pack that impeded my movement - the cliff side overhangs were small enough for me to feel a wee nervous about the pack's width further from the safety of the rock face. My husband had a metal water bottle he had to keep one hand on. Also quite a bit of a burden. Should have left it so he could have both hands on some of these scrambles. My pre-teens loved the steps and ladders made from bent metal bars forced into rock. It was like a jungle gym with real life stakes. And the view! It was gorgeous. Worth the climb, even if the journey wasn't stupendously adventurous.

To Acadia National Park Management,…read more I am writing to express my frustration with the parking situation we encountered today at the Visitor Center. We arrived in our motorhome specifically looking for the designated RV parking, only to find that cars were occupying the spaces marked for RVs. Because of the size of our motorhome, we cannot simply pull into a regular automobile parking space, so when cars take the limited RV spaces, it can leave us with nowhere to park at all. What made this especially frustrating was the inconsistency in parking enforcement that we observed throughout the park. Along the Park Loop Road, we noticed vehicles receiving warning stickers when they were parked improperly or were sticking only a few inches into the roadway. Yet at the Visitor Center, we did not see a single car parked in the designated RV spaces receive a ticket, warning, sticker, or any other indication that the parking restriction was being enforced. If Acadia National Park is going to designate certain spaces specifically for RVs, those spaces need to be enforced. RV parking is already extremely limited, and cars have many more parking options available to them than visitors traveling in motorhomes. We understand that Acadia is extremely busy and parking is challenging. However, that makes consistent enforcement even more important. It is difficult to understand why minor parking violations elsewhere in the park appear to be actively enforced while cars occupying spaces specifically reserved for RVs are allowed to remain without consequence. We hope the park will address this issue by monitoring the RV parking area more closely, clearly marking it as RV-only parking, and enforcing those restrictions just as consistently as parking restrictions elsewhere in the park. Visitors traveling by RV should have a reasonable opportunity to use the parking spaces that the park has specifically designated for them. Thank you for taking this concern seriously.
