This place is great for the casual climber, and has everything you need if you really enjoy climbing. The staff is friendly, and the people that go there are social. Really fun place to climb... read more

Had my son's 11th Birthday party here. This is the first time I've sent out party invitations and gotten immediate RSVPs - FROM DADS. I scheduled the party in person to check the place out. Staff was great explaining the set up, etc to me. Got to bring in our own food, decor etc. Was assigned two picnic tables in a little nook. They also have a fridge & freezer on premises to store ice cream, etc. Party started with getting the kids set up (ages 11-7). They got a safety brief from the the staff & were released to boulder (free climb) or use the auto belays. Willing parents were then given Belay instruction. We had 4 belay adults to 8 climbing kids, which was a good balance for our group. Adults took turns belaying each other too. All in all, I think we had a great time. Majority of the families talked about going back or just getting together for another party there in the future. Be aware, all climbers have to be present to start the party, so late arrivals can cause delays for everyone. The gym was busier then I expected. However, it seemed like a good mix of regulars and families and everyone "played" well together. The staff was good at keep an eye on all belayers and nicely enforcing safety rules. Thanks for a great time Rocknasium! PS Based on comments from some of the moms, I should mention that regular climbing appears to do fantastic things to your physique. read more

It was so fun. I enjoyed climbing those mountains and I lost weight thanks to that and got skinnier. It was fun too. I touched the ceiling 5 times! read more

I brought my son and his friend for the first time today. When we arrived, everyone there was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The boys were having a blast until one of them accidentally released the retractable rope. Long story short, I was at first disappointed by the way a staff member responded to the boys when they informed him about the rope. However, when I explained my feelings to another staff member, I felt vindicated and to my surprise was even awarded a pass to return. And if that wasn't enough, the other staff member who I was upset with even let the boys help with some of the other ropes, making them feel more included. Which to me was very encouraging to see that they were not just seen as annoying children, but as people with the potential to grow and love the sport. Overall, it was a great experience and my son and I cannot wait to go back. read more

Rocknasium - Lot's of climbing room. - Gyms Near Me - Davis, California

I went rock climbing for the first time here and loved it. It's a bit smaller than I expected but the staff are friendly and I fully enjoyed the two hours I spent there. This gym has three autobelays, so you can rope climb even if you go alone. The belay class is brief but helpful if you and your climbing partner are both beginners. Also available are some exercise bikes, weights, and other gym supplies. read more

This is my first and only rock climbing gym, but it was such a different activity with plenty of potential to keep my body on new p's and q's. Relaxed & straight-forward with great staff! read more

Truly wish I could remember some names, but a few Rocknasium folks stopped by to see me and suggested myself and a few others come out to their spot and try some rock climbing. I can't believe I hadn't stopped by before because this was way too much fun! It was a great way for us to get out and do something active right here in Davis. The staff was SO friendly, you can tell they really like what they do. Will definitely back to do some more bouldering. read more

My daughter and I visited this rock climbing gym and we both felt that it had a very negative atmosphere. The employee who was working was very pushy and overbearing. They had boulder problems set up under the top rope area which led to the area feeling very crowded and disorganized. Definitely not going back. We will be looking out for another gym with friendlier employees who are not so pushy and a better organized gym. Huge disappointment. read more

Great place for my kids to spend the day! Helpful, courteous staff. reasonable price and easy access.

N. GARCIA We went there to celebrate my son's 11th Birthday .It is $16 per climber which include the shoes and belay lesson. The staff are nice and helpful. They explain to the group rules for safe rock climbing, there was also belay lessons and how to do the billeting. We had a table area reserved for eating. They allow you to bring food inside and I just ordered pizza and have delivered, which is great. They only have 3 automatic belays, it would be nice if they have more than that if there is a big group of kids want to go on automatic belays at the same time. It was Jacob and one other guy(forgot the name) who provided the instruction. He was great... read more

I love this gym. You walk in and you're greeted by genuinely pleasant staff. I feel like they treat their customers more like young climbing padawans rather than no0b money pits. I never got the salesman vibe from anyone there. Even though there are people of all abilities climbing around throughout the gym, they are very kid-friendly and offer group parties, classes, private lessons, workshops, summer camps for kids, special discounts for members, first timer start up packages...the list goes on. There are other gyms that may be larger with other amenities, but this gym has the chill, climbing community-oriented atmosphere that's totally inclusive and inviting, and you can feel yourself just being emersed into the spirit of climbing culture. read more

It's pretty pricy for the small size. Should be cheaper but I guess it's not too surprising for somewhere in Davis. Many times there are no employees at the front desk and we have to wait a while for assistance. read more

wonderful ppl and great facility! boyfriend and i definitely approve of the music too :)

First time climbing and had fun. They teach you the basics and set you off on your own. It may not be as big as other gyms, but it isn't as crowded and is clean. read more

went there recently for a birthday party. Not so sure they are equipped to handle large parties. They had very little staff on hand. The staff are great-very nice and helpful but it's not a place where you can have a large party. I saw other smaller groups and they were having a great time. there is plenty of space inside to accommodate all the people, but they did not provide much room for all the party guests who were there at the time. 2 sets of long picnic tables for over 20 kids and their parents is just not enough. I think that it's a great place for small groups and individuals, but not for large parties. read more

Friendly instruction. Welcoming atmosphere. It was our first time indoor rock climbing and it was a great experience for newbies.

Awesome gym. Friendly, helpful staff. Close-knit community. FUN ROUTES. This place is great for kids as well. Overall, worth double the price. read more

This place ROCKS! pun intended. We've gone to rocknasium aboud a half a dozen times so far and are now members. My kids LOVE the place. The staff are helpful, super nice, and ready to show you the ropes if needed. Highly recommended! read more

Super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff for beginning climbers, like myself. Fellow climbers were also very friendly and welcoming. Learned a lot and felt good. Definitely worth the trip. read more

Went in with my bf and we both had a blast. We had never been rock climbing before and the staff was super helpful and informative. When they taught us to belay, they made it super easy to understand and even gave me a 50 lb sandbag to help hold me down so I could partner with my bf. We will definitely be going back soon. read more

We got the ticket for only 15 bucks from yelp. The kids really enjoyed it and even us adults too. The trainors was so good and well knowledged. I really recommended it. read more

Great place to boulder. I don't know about the routes because I only boulder when I'm indoors. The new gym is a huge improvement over the older gym. I only wish it had come 2 years earlier! Friendly staff, good setters, lots of variety, excellent circuits. The upper deck will add even more value. Wish I still rode my bike by every day. read more

Employees bad-mouthed me for more than 15 minutes around various people. Made me feel very uncomfortable. All they had to say was you had to pay for the service and I would have gladly done so. Instead they had given me a free lesson and then went around person to person bad-mouthing me-all within my earshot. Why didn't they just request that I pay For the service initially? All that over 5 minutes of your time. Ridiculous! It's unfortunate because we used to come all the time when they had a much friendlier staff. read more

Okay, it has taken me some time to get to this review. Most in part to the fact that I cannot find enough wonderful words in my thesaurus to properly compliment the owners Mark and Carter and their fantastic staff (forgive me if I don't mention everyone here) starting with my son's Climbing Coaches Charlie, Amaya and Fish, as well as Steve, Boz, Peter, Hunter, Alex, (ARGH, I know I am forgetting so many names here!) and everyone else on the staff. And what a truly sensational job they did on the design of the new gym. Obviously the work of many people who live and love the sport of climbing. The Rocknasium community has been so welcoming and inspiring to our 11 year old son that I find myself wishing there were more days in the week and less homework to be completed so that he could spend more time building the skills he needs to move ahead in his new found passion. The Jr. team is a great addition to youth sports in Davis and the Tuesday night member potlucks as well as the Sunday clinics are benefits that really extend the value of your monthly membership. Bellisimo! Fantastico! 5 stars all the way :o) read more

the workers are very nice. it's a little small, but it's fun.
