5 of my friends and I decided to try something new and go rock climbing together! One of my friends…read morehas a membership so we decided this was the perfect place, and I'm glad we came! Everyone in here is so friendly and helpful, and don't feel embarrassed because everyone is learning at different levels, so it's okay! Such a beautiful space and an amazing atmosphere!

I had one morning available in Kansas City, and this climbing gym was walking distance from my…read morehotel, so I decided to give it a try. I was able to sign the waiver online and watch a safety video before I arrived, which made the first timer process quick and smooth. Some gyms take a very long time going through paperwork and payment, but this one was effective, quick and smooth. When I arrived I met Graham, he and his wife are from California and own the gym. Graham was a super nice and informative. He explained how their circuits are, they have half sizes in shoes (bless), and there's a warm up gym in the back left. It's a large, clean space with various levels. The entire place is spotless. From gym to bouldering to restrooms, immaculate. They have a Kilter board for training specific power, which is also based on crowd source. I learned all about that through Graham because I've never been to a gym that has one. Love that. And of course they have a tension board. If I lived here I would have a membership for sure. As I was packing to leave I saw a group come in with laptops too, there's community desks and couch space. Great place to hang, literally and figuratively. $18 day pass and $4 for shoes is the average day pass for rock gyms but you get access to way more so that makes it a steal. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went in to make this spot what it is for the community. Truly a gem in the heart of Kansas City.

A great climbing gym in the KC area! In my time in KC, I went here and another location in KC (that…read morewas closer to me) - and IBEX was the clear standout, well worth the longer distance IMO. The staff were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. There's also a cool climbing wall treadmill in the upstairs area that was a lot of fun. The bouldering area was also very well cushioned. I'm not the biggest fan of bouldering but I felt very safe bouldering here just because of how well maintained and cushioned the mats were. As a person visiting the area, I didn't have a regular climbing crew - I came solo and the autobelays were more than enough to satisfy my climbing need. The autobelays covered a solid range of levels and there were more than enough to cover my climbing needs. The other routes also looked interesting - and it's clear that the route setters have done a very good, thoughtful job in their setting. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a climb in the KC area!

I've done two introductory tree climbing classes with Dan and Stan and had tons of fun both times…read more You learn how to get into the equipment and get comfortable hoisting yourself up the ropes and high into the tree branches. Dan and Stan are very patient and love to laugh. You can tell they really love what they do. If you are looking for a unique way to spend your morning or afternoon, this is it. They will take kids 8 and above. You may get a few sore muscles, but you don't have to be particularly athletic to enjoy this. They usually partner with Olathe or Shawnee Mission Parks and Recs, or they have a calendar on their website.

The boulder is a little scary as the mats can be a little thin, but just be careful when you land. All around good place, but the environment could be a little improved on.

We had a large meat pizza and it was delicious. I normally don't eat the crust but I ate every piece of it on my slices. We had the cheesy bread which was good along with the marinara sauce they served with it. Staff was amazing and you could watch folks rock climbing on the wall while you ate.

RoKC offers you about 5…read moreamazing things packaged in 1 building: a HUGE climbing and bouldering gym, a free weight gym with cardio equipment and squat racks, fitness & yoga classes, a Kids gym next door, and an amazing coffee shop/bar, Apogee. Not to mention the sauna, run club, competition nights, etc. The auto-belay system makes the gym beginner and solo-climber friendly. There is so much value to a membership here. I came for the coffee, but stayed for the culture. There is such a friendly community that goes to this gym that I always feel like home when I step into these doors. Truly a gem in Olathe. I hope RoKC is here for years and decades to come.

This is my happy place here, underground. I always feel very comfortable to get my bouldering on…read more Everyone here is very nice. The temperature down in the underground is always perfect, never effected by the extreme changes outside due to the fact that it is 10 stories underground. This facility is the one I frequent the most in town.

We had my child's birthday party here. The kids loved the play area!…read more My first big complaint is the cleanliness. The floors were gross in the party room and I included a picture of one of the chairs. This was it at the start of our party. There weren't trash cans in the party room, which was frustrating. We spilled some water and when I used a paper towel to clean it up it was brown. The whole place needs a deep clean! Also, the party time is short. One hour is not enough time. If they need to clean the party rooms before the next party they should allow the kids to go back and play for another 30 min to make it a 2 hour party. This place has potential!

Props to this place mainly for existing. There aren't any gymnastics gyms near us, and this has…read moreopened up a new world to my daughter that she loves. Inspired by Simone Biles and the 2024 Olympics, my kid has jumped in (cartwheeled in?) with both feet. Straight up, the lobby and bathroom areas need to be cleaner and I'll stand by that. But the rest of it is pretty nice overall. The teacher seems great and has control of the group. The times I've watched my semi-trepidacious daughter here, I've noticed they move at a pace that doesn't allow for a lot of fear which is important. They sort of just get after it and settle in from there, always a good approach. I can't say we'll go here for a long time based on the distance, but we may because my daughter loves it and we're continuing with it despite the distance for us to travel each week.
