Great workout and fun activity!
Luisa T.

Used our groupon for a belay certification and got to climb for a day! Didn't realize how fun this would be and it's definitely a killer workout. My lats were crying by the end of this, so I managed to have fun and get back day out of the way. Clean place, super friendly staff. Shoes and all the gear included!

this place rocks! The gravity vault is fantastic. friendly staff, clean facilities, and siiickkkk merch. ASK FOR NILSA!! she also ROCKS. she is so encouraging when you think you're about to give up, she will gas you up!! definitely having my next birthday banger here after covid baby!!

So much to do in terms of building up skill levels and attempting new challenges. The staff are very helpful, and there's room for everyone to social distance and yet be close enough to monitor. It's an extremely challenging workout!

5.fun walls in the front transitioning to the higher ones.

Great routes. Very impressed. Only thing that was a turn off was kids running around under your route. Twice I was coming down had to be braked to have the kid skat so I (and them) go away unscathed. No real changing rooms. Two single fairly clean bathrooms. Sofas to lounge in in the rest area. Super impressive grip practice wall.

Well maintained walls and ropes

Pros: - Loads of climbing walls - Patient and knowledgable staff - Rock gym with climbing-related equipment - Auto-belays Cons: - Smells kinda like feet I came to the Gravity Vault with Yelp's Fit Club and had an amazing time! Our instructors were funny, patient, instructed us clearly, and made sure everyone was safe. We took their belay certification course and were "shown the ropes" (Get it? It's a pun, because it's a climbing gym, and you belay using ropes? No? Okay.) for two hours, learning how to tie a few different knots, how to use the harnesses and carabiners, how to fit climbing shoes, terminology to use, and what all the tape markers on the rock walls are for. They also showed us the other climbing equipment, like in the climbing gym, which had lots of cool, rock climbing-related equipment that you wouldn't find in a conventional gym. The great thing was, after getting the certification, we were left to climb for the rest of the night! A day pass is pretty affordable and I would definitely come back. It was a great workout and a lot of fun, especially for people who are competitive with themselves - it's fun to try the same wall more than once and see if you can climb it faster! Everything was as clean as you'd expect it to be. My hands felt pretty grimy after, but that's to be expected seeing as how people's hands and feet are all over the rock walls all day. The rental shoes smell like bowling alley shoes. Also to be expected. Overall, a great facility. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

For an indoor climbing gym this place rocks! They have so many options for top rope and for bouldering. Even when there are crowds of kids it's pretty easy to avoid them by just going to the other side of the main rock wall. The bouldering is separated into a few sections. As a beginner there are a lot of options for climbing and improving on my endurance and skill. I love that they switch up the walls frequently enough that it doesn't get boring. For first timers they have a bunch of classes and options to get belay certified. They also offer someone that can belay you for an hour or so if you are not certified and it's not too expensive. Staff has always been friendly and helpful.

Climb beyond your wildest dreams

This place is a must do for any competitive person. Challenge yourself to reach new heights. Pun intended. Enjoy the thrill of becoming a controlled well balanced person. The freedom of being in your own head while climbing is great. Facilities are always clean and the equipment is up to date. Can use a one piece mat to fit around the 2 bouldering walls. Many different mats slid together is dangerous!

A little bit of everything at this fun location…read more You're either coming here for the petting zoo and finding out there is also a farmer's market, or you're here for a farmer's market and finding out there is also a petting zoo. Either way, everyone's a winner. The petting zoo is much larger than others in the area, giving the pets and the customers a lot of space to roam around. You can buy your tickets online, or with the QR code on site, or with cash at the booth located at the zoo entrance at the top of the hill past the upper parking lot. The farmers market provides amazingly fresh produce, fruits, veggies, baked goods, and a pre-made food selection. You can order a fresh sandwich, sides and soup. A delicious bonus. Somethings look out for include sparce parking at the top of the hill where the farmers market is, but plenty further down and towards the greenhouse. Also seating to eat is located in the back past checkout in the playground area that is also lacking a number of tables, but make meeting new people an experience when sharing seating. A fun adventure rolled into one location.

My son and his girlfriend arrived at 7:00 pm, paid full price ($28.99 each plus $7 socks), and were checked in by busy staff who never informed them that their time would be cut short because of Glow Night at 8:00 pm. When 8:00 came, they were told they had to leave -- no warning, no choice, no accommodation. They were literally kicked out. Had they been told, they would have simply waited for the next session. Instead, they lost most of what they paid for. And it ruined their night. When I contacted the manager, Jack, he refused to offer any resolution -- no partial refund, no credit, no future jump time -- and insisted this is "not something we offer." No compensation, no customer service. He also claimed his staff must have warned them they only had an hour, which is not true. My son was never told this. As I said, they'd have waited for the next session. That is not customer service -- that is taking people's money without clearly disclosing what they are paying for. This was a simple situation to fix. Giving them one hour at a later date would have cost Sky Zone nothing and would have shown basic respect for their customers -- but they chose to do nothing. We've patronized sky zone for years. We won't be returning.
