This is one of the nicest if not THE nicest climbing gyms I've been to! Sooo clean (which is what I noticed first off) it's such a huge deal to me when the gym looks and feels clean. - The bathrooms were also clean and they have showers! That's a game changer alone if you bring a change of clothes The routes were great, challenging yet rewarding. They have a gym, kilter board in the back where you can also stretch before your session. You do need to pay for parking in the lot in front but it's cheap (you can use a text/app to pay) read more

Blue Swan Boulders - Gym - Gyms Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My hubby called in advance as we have been on the hunt for a place where the kids can climb and challenge themselves. For reference, My kiddos are 5 and 3. We called in advance to see if there was an age restriction and to our surprise there was none. Instead they go off the kids interest. Game changer! Lauren was fantastic and the customer service is top notch! They allowed us to try out the walls before committing. This is huge because anyone with little kids knows that the attention span can be non existent at times. However we were pleasantly surprised to see our kids fully engage and try multiple areas without getting frustrated. We decided to stay and we blew past an hour pretty fast. The kids quickly figure out what's difficult and what they can master. They had a blast in one particular section. The place itself is pretty big with multiple areas for climbing and a section for strength training with weights. Everything is neat, clean and bright. Prices are pretty reasonable. Shoe rentals are $6. All ages welcomed. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

Good size bouldering gym with quality setting. Nice range of grades, styles, and wall types. Appreciate the comp sets too. $22 for day pass, $6 for shoes. I consider that a little steeper for a bouldering only facility. The traditional fitness area is small, but has all the basic equipment (free weights, cardio, kettlebells, etc). There is a moonboard too. Staff is nice and asked where I was visiting from, they gave me an industry discount too so I appreciated that! Parking here is not free ($2/hr), and they don't validate because it's all done thru the city of Orlando, just an FYI. @azfitfoodfun for more food and climbing gym content read more

No parking onsite only pay lot and when I got there the app to pay wasn't working. Girl at the front desk said just leave your car and if you get a ticket just tell them. I left without going in. Too much of a hassle to work out at this place. read more

I've been wanting to try bouldering so I decided to try their boulder 101 class which is a good introduction to etiquette, how to fall properly, and some details about the stuff on the climbing wall. If you pay 25 more you get a 15 day pass after the class. The class was 35, I felt it's a good deal. The only thing I don't like is that you have to pay for parking outside of Sundays. But I guess that just how it is downtown. read more

I didn't realize how social bouldering could be. I was up in Orlando last weekend to celebrate mine and my daughters birthday. We decided on a mix of activities that she liked and I liked. She loves climbing. I have climbed with her a few times. We jumped to climbing with ropes on belay when I first started with her and its higher and the other person is your safety with the ropes. But we really hadn't done classic bouldering climbing so we went to her favorite gym, Blue Swan. We arrived at the quaint warehouse area and walked in to a lively energy. There was a workout energy but not the same as a normal gym. People had a peppy positive energy that was everywhere, and that was just in the front area. Once we got our shoes on and ready we found a spot to start. The gym has rock walls all around, through a large building that S-turns this way and that. I liked the layout as it gave more of a personal climbing experience. Not that there weren't plenty of other people climbing near us. That was nice as well as the mutual encouragement was nice. It also helped see what "lines" to take when climbing. We were there for a couple hours, long enough for me to feel it for days. It was a great workout, and a really nice bonding experience. read more

PROS: Gym is big and the workout area is well placed. The back of the place host a workout area with dumbbells that go up to 100, weighted vest, cable machines, stretching mats, balance boards, etc. the weighted area is connected to the finger and grip strength builders such as the hang boards, Kilter board, etc. The routes are set faithfully here. I visited for 3 days and seen the process, they are fast and efficient. Their team kids are a joy to be around. Very hard working and talented. The grades at this gym are as they appear, meaning V5 is a V5 on average. The staff are all well knowledgeable about what is going on at all times. They have renter shoes and shoes you can buy. Tons of snacked to get you through a tough climb. Bathroom and restroom space is also great. With organic products for climbers to use. CONS: Need some free parking. read more

Blue swan is a great place for bouldering. The service is effective and efficient. The bathrooms are clean. It's a spacious gym with a variety of walls with great levels. Everyone there is kind and lots of people are strangers to each other but help eachother out. Only downside is it's located near downtown so you have to pay for parking through ParkMobile. read more

This place is awesome! Located in Downtown Orlando, check this place out to try something new. My friends and I took the Bouldering 101 class. I highly recommend this class for first-timers as it introduces you to the basics and gives you time to practice with an instructor. Rentals are also included, and you can hang out for as long as you like. I was dragged into this class by a friend. I was hesitant to go because I thought I would be terrible at bouldering. With the intro class I got more comfortable and had a great deal of fun! The facility isn't huge (which kind of makes it hard to social-distance on a weekend where there are plenty of people here). The facility was very clean, aesthetically pleasing and people were wearing masks as they climbed. read more

Great experience!! My son and I took the Bouldering class 101; Jessie was our instructor. She was very detailed and patient... took us thru the facility and explained all the routes, made sure we were comfortable to be able to climb on our own. Our foreamrs are very sore but we will definitely be back. read more

Love this bouldering gym. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Signing up is easy (get ahead by signing the waiver online). Parking can be a bit challenging since you have to pay and it's an easy place to get ticket/towed (check their website for more information). You will see a great mixture of both beginners and experiences climbers at this gym. There is a course for everyone. Follow their Instagram page to keep updated on when they have events or when they update their walls. I do the 10 day punch pass since this place is still a bit of a drive for me. The great thing about the 10 day punch pass is that it doesn't expire and you can also use your punches for your guest. Definitely recommend this place for anyone to try out. read more

Great space for bouldering. So much variety of routes available and I would say they are appropriately labeled. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. They also have a nice little warm up area and small gym. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase as well as tea and coffee. Bouldering shoes available for rent. read more

It was a climbing gym, if you have no other option it has climbs. I was climbing and was reprimanded for taking my shirt off. Afterwards I asked them about it, hoping maybe there was some weird shopping center rule that forced it on them, but no, they just don't want anyone taking their shirt off, at a climbing gym. I'm just baffled. read more

FINALLY, a climbing gym in actual Orlando. This downtown location is super convenient. The gym is super bright, large, and well kept. Everything is clean and they're doing a great job keeping up with COVID safety. Masks required to climb and everyone washes hands before touching the wall. There's a large selection of bouldering problems and they do a decent job of refreshing them to keep it exciting for members. There's a small workout space, lots of lockers, and snacks/drinks for sale. I definitely recommend Blue Swan for both beginners and experienced climbers. read more

I was turned off immediately when I noticed all parking upfront is reserved for staff, anyplace that puts the staff parking in front of paying customers has an issue (UCF). Other than the parking my kids really enjoyed the place, it was our first time at a rock climbing place and it was a good experience. My two older sons both are considering a membership because it was fun workout and other climbers are helpful with advice and encouragement. Great environment by the other patrons.

Literally so welcoming and easy to join. Very good for beginners all the way to advanced people. The community is very kind and generous as well. read more

Awesome place to Boulder for beginners and experienced climber alike. There is no rope climbing at this location, just bouldering. I've been here several time already although I live almost three hours away. I like the work the setters do here. There is a good mix of dynamic and statics climbs. There is always at least one problem made of only features which is always nice to try out. Recently they had some very long traverse problems which is rare to see in bouldering gyms as they take up so much space. The restroom facilities here are nice. They are clean and even have a little feet washing area for when you are done with your climb. There are free lockers inside and just just outside the restroom so you can keep your stuff safe while you climb, no need to bring your own lock as well. All in all I like the sets, the staff and the people that come here. I'll be back in for some stellar climbs and think you should check it out if you're in the area. .....you have to pay for parking though!! ;( read more

Best place to Boulder in Central Florida. Paying for parking is not cool and beware, they will ticket/tow your a$$. Lots of diversity in routes with fun features and volumes. Cool place, sure to come back. read more

Huge gym. I went with my brother when I was visiting the area and we had a lot of fun. I'm sort of new to climbing, so I might be wrong, but the grading seemed easy to me, at least at the lower levels. Just something to keep in mind if you start climbing here and then go somewhere else; the grading may be harder. read more

Super friendly staff, state of the art walls, holds, and setting, and my fave climbing gym in central florida! #happyClimber

Big bouldering Gym. Occasionally change walls for something new. Lots of great people from kids to adult. Staff is friendly.

Awesome walls and super fun routes of all kinds. Would highly recommend checking this place out. Just know, as the name dictates, it is just bouldering. read more

Clean gym with great atmosphere! Way too much slab climbing for me. The whole gym is slab aside from 2 small sections. Parking is also an issue. Got a nice hefty ticket while I was climbing even though I parked right outside of the gym. So your "membership" is going to cost at least another $20/mo just to park. Great experience other than that! read more

Love this gym. Great modern facility and a fun vibe. Plan ahead for parking (they're website has instructions).

This gym has potential but the setting is horrible. There's no imagination - they cut and paste others Boulder problems leaving the climbing bland and boring. Grades are completely off either giving you a false feeling of grandeur or kicking your teeth in. Step up your game gym - I am sure you will do fine with the zombies of Florida who don't climb real rock often enough to appreciate the differences I speak of. read more

So many different options for climbers. My brother and I are beginners and we still had a fun time. People were also very friendly.

This gym is great and a total mental lifesaver during COVID. The route setting is great, the staff is super nice and the community is really starting to thrive again thanks to a quality gym opening up in Florida. Highly recommend coming here to anyone looking for a fun date night, an alternative to traditional workouts or just looking to pick up a new hobby that will introduce you to a lot of great people. read more
