This place is kid friendly they have a little ninja course on the bottom level of the ryze 10/10 so much fun. The adults can zip line and navigate through the obstacle course. They have various levels, easy medium and hard for thrill seekers. We stayed for hours. The kids enjoyed it so much they didn't want to leave. The fun doesn't stop there, they also have huge yard games such as Connect four and corn hole. My fav part was mini golf! They have snacks and drinks available for purchase. It was super cute had the most fun definitely going again soon. Bring the entire family! Add this to your summer bucket list!!

It's under the big top but don't worry, it is air conditioned!

I went with a small group of…read morefriends thinking this place would be packed since it was Saturday but the all around atmosphere of the place was calm and uplifting. There was no pressure to try any of the climbs they had and we were able to take our time and climb for HOURS. We got here around 3pm and left around 6:40 and we had a great time! All the gear here at upper limits are reliable and the people here were super friendly! Would definitely recommend this place for beginners and advanced climbers alike!

We went on a Saturday morning soon after opening and it was packed. Check in was easy and quick and I got a brief orientation before starting to climb. Since it was crowded there was an occasional wait to climb certain walls but it gave me a much needed rest between climbs. I also tried bouldering for the first time which was pretty fun and different.

Cons: not as immersive as other escape rooms, we did the saloon heist and it was only 2 rooms big, didn't have any special effects, but it was still fun! One thing I do wish is that they had any type of background music or sounds, it could've really added to the vibe. Overall I do think it was a pretty great experience for the price!

I originally made contact with Ryan about bringing a group in to experience an escape room. I was…read moreone of the hosts for my family reunion this year and thought this would be a fun and interactive way for us to work together and enjoy an evening out. Ryan made it easy for us to book a group and was very understanding and flexible when some changes were needed. There was a total of 11 of us and we chose to do one of the harder rooms, Saloon Heist. We were a little lost at first, got stuck on some clues but overall we worked together and found the gold with 44 seconds remaining! That was a close one. Lol! Everyone stated how much fun they had after being a little skeptical and would definitely do it again. I can't wait to try another heist. Thank you Ryan and staff. You guys were amazing!

There's lots to do in a fairly condensed space: two bounce houses, rideable animals, climbing wall, and play structure. Our kids had a blast. Best of all, there were only two other kids, so little competition for playing stuff. As a bonus, there's a nice seating area for parents, with a complimentary Keurig coffee machine. All in all, a nice, chill way to spend the morning and get out of the house. I wouldn't pay full price, but if there's another Groupon, I'll definitely pounce!

There is also a small play structure, a train table, and some ride on animals. It's not one of those play areas with a large variety of toys, but if your kids love bouncing it's a fun place to go. I think it is a little expensive for what you get, but you can look out for deals. It's pretty low key for the parents. You can't bring food or drink but they have small snack options. It isn't that big but it has never been that crowded. My kids love it here.

Excellent, excellent race!…read more The U-City 10 and 2 is a 10 mile competitive race (or a 2 mile non-timed walk). I did the 10 mile race (in preparations for the upcoming Go! St. Louis Half Marathon) and I was extremely pleased with the entire event from start to finish. Packet pickup was a snap; Ghisallo sponsored the race, and packets were available to be picked up at their running store on North & South. Race day registration (and packet pickups) were also available. The race itself started at Centennial Commons, which was nice. It was a cold day, so being able to warm up in the gym before the race was nice. And there was plenty of parking if you got there early enough. The race? Well, it was 10 miles of HILLS! Get ready to do some climbing, folks! It was rough in some parts, but the amazing volunteers made it all worthwhile -- they were full of energy! The race wound all around University City, and even went through the loop! Running through the loop at 8 in the morning is a pretty awesome experience, I must say. Water stops were at every other mile, which was super nice. I never went thirsty, and carrying a water bottle wasn't even necessary. Post race support was great as well; lots of bananas, bagels, sports drinks, water, and even gels to refuel and replenish. I say this about almost every race I participate in, but this one is definitely going on the schedule for next year. Very organized, fun, and well-attended. Great job, Ghisallo!
