    Part of the activities and birthday tables set up in the back
    Carla D.

    We've visited this location a few times and it's been a great option for homeschooling families since they offer a consistent weekly timeslot. It's never overly crowded or loud, which makes it easy to enjoy the space. You're also allowed to bring your own lunch and drinks, which is a nice bonus. Another big improvement is the change in music. They now play jazz--no singing and no inappropriate lyrics--which creates a much more wholesome atmosphere. The only downside is the arcade setup. Instead of using quarters, you now have to purchase a game card loaded with credits. The simplicity of old-school coin-operated games is definitely missed.

    This place is FUN! Attended my niece's birthday party here because she loves to climb. You can book a private room or have a table on the floor. Lots of climbing walls and soft play for the younger kids. Adults were climbing as well. It was a Saturday and not too crowded, but I'm sure it would fill up on a busier day. The staff is always walking around and willing to help. The kids didn't want to leave! I took off one star for the bathrooms as they need a deep clean. Please tend to them IMMEDIATELY!

    i took my granddaughter there with a few relatives for her birthday. It was a nice crowd. We did the Groupon package which was enough. There were 4 kids and two hours spent there was more than plenty. I will certainly take them back. My 8 and 16 year old grands had a ball. We didn't do a party there, so I can't rate the party service. Luckily, an attendant was walking by and saw that my 16 year hadn't locked himself in all the way. We are forever grateful. WARNING: be SURE to strap in correctly. This place is busy and the attendants aren't checking everyone's safety rope.

    Where were these when we were kids?!?!?

    We're here twice a week with the kids when in DC. Not a terribly far drive as long as you avoid rush hour. Definitely worth getting there at 10am / when they open. Most of the kids can only really go for 90 minutes. We started them at 4 1/2 but for most 5-6 means they can do the Blue routes as well as some of the Yellow ones. Sprinkle in a few game (not cheap, prices vary). If you're a mom or dad under the gun for some high return ticket options, and you have good reaction times, sneak few games in at the Marvel Avengers game if the big balls are close to the edge or packed together (get all the infinity stones and you get like 500 tickets), also the Pearl Drop can get you a quick 40-50. As can the Red Ball Drop into the rotating buckets. Worst case, you get some solid credit card thickness Avengers cards with the first one. For fun two player games, the Frozen Zombie Troll one where the guns fire real water and there's an ice machine effect is wildly fun and not too challenges.

    This place is super neat and so much fun for the entire family! There are so many rock walls that vary at level of ease. It's a really good workout so don't hit a heavy upper body day before coming here. The staff was supposed to train us before we started but they only put the harness on us so we had to ask other staff members what to do. I saw really little kids climbing the walls and larger size adults plus they have a little play area if you might have a kid too small or uninterested in the walls. There are a few arcade games and snacks for sale. Overall enjoyed the experience!

    Chaperoned my 5 YO daughter here on a field trip with her camp. The campers' ages ranged from 5-13. The place was very well-lit and appeared to be pretty clean. It felt pretty inviting when I walked in. There were several climbing walls (over 70 of them, I believe) as well as a playground area, which they consider the "Soft Play" area, for the smaller kids. The older kids loved it as they had a variety of climbing walls to choose from and an arcade. I wouldn't recommend it for kids that are small or afraid to actually climb. I noticed the 5 & 6 year olds were in the play area. For the price, we could have gone to the park, but the little ones definitely still managed to have a great time playing with friends the entire time.

    Had a great experience here on a Saturday. It got busy fast but we were greeted and treated so kindly by the staff. Everyone was really helpful because this isn't a normal activity for us. Our five year old had a lot of fun. They code the courses by color a the themes were so fun. There was also an arcade and soft play place for smaller kids. This would be a fun birthday spot. It's big enough to host a lot of kids.

    My kids absolutely love it here! There are so many different varying climbing walls. The walls differ in difficulty levels so it can be good for young kids and older kids. For very young kids, there is also a section for them too. They have a party zone in the back.

    Incredibly impressed. So many fun walls to climb, a substantial play area for kids too young to climb or if they want to take a break and best of all you can bring in your own food.

    We love climb zone. The staff is tremendously helpful. It is well run. This is one of our favorite places to climb! Affordable & has great alternative okay options

    This review is for excellent customer service from the manager (Aaliyah?). I can here with my 8yo and 5yo to climb. My 5yo daughter didn't want to climb, so they were nice enough to refund the climb and downgrade to soft play instead. Overall, the place is unique and a great place for kids to try climbing. They have an arcade area and soft play area as well as a seating area with space for birthday parties.

    My niece wanted a birthday party with friends at this place. It's a cool place. I like wall with different textures. The best one I would say the bookshelf. I feel so embarrassed to tryout, I just see young kids doing this, no adults. I think is just for kids, not really sure. I would tryout if adults were climbing. This place also have arcade games play. The place are really high. Mostly each games 4 tokens to play. Crazy. The staff are nice and friendly. You have bring food and drinks.

    Is this place suitable to host a 2 year old boys birthday? He loves to climb, however, the majority of his guest will be 1, 2 and 3.

    I would say 5 years old and up for a birthday here. They do have a soft play jungle gym but even that may be a bit much for children under 3 as it is floor to ceiling in size.

    Does the arcade use coins or a fillable card?

    We use rechargeable arcade cards. ClimbZone Laurel

    Is this place fun for a 13 and 15 year old? Thanks :-)

    Absolutely. We have 75 walls that range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. All of our walls are themed so your kids can climb the Eiffel Tower, Mt Rushmore, a map of the United States and try out our skatepark walls. Hope you come visit us… 

    Can my 2yr old grandson climb, what are the limits for climbing?

    Yes we allow 2yr olds to climb. All of the walls are color coded for difficulty. Kevin Killen…

My main complaint/regret is that they close at 6pm on Sundays. Secondary gripe is that it's in the middle of a business complex not very walkable to anything- normally that's not an issue but I took a Lyft here and then needed to find somewhere else to wait a couple hours without a ride. I arrived at 4:30pm and already had the waiver filled out so check in was a breeze. I only bouldered today but I took a peek at the fitness area and ropes sections. There are tons of cardio equipment, weights, and heavy lifting/squat stations. Also appreciate the availability of dumbbells in 7.5, 12.5 lb options- you don't find those everywhere. The boulders were challenging and fun, I maxed out at v5 today; I'm always more cautious at new gyms, but I enjoyed my short session. Some v4 climbs stumped me! The locker/restrooms are amazing too. Spacious, tons of lockers/storage, showers, and even a foot wash station. Looks like they have a robust yoga/fitness class schedule as well. I'm not sure when I'll be back in the Baltimore area again, but I will definitely revisit this gym next time! @azfitfoodfun

Our instructor, Thomas, was fantastic. He's super knowledgeable and passionate and very focused on safety. I felt comfortable the whole time and like I had plenty of time to learn at my own pace and ask questions. He was encouraging and kind. I didn't expect to learn so much in this class. By the end we were able to belay and climb. The course focused on tying onto a rope, belaying someone safely, and catching falls. Again, Thomas was focused on safety and explained common mistakes people make, why they're unsafe, and how to avoid them. After the class, we were able to explore the gym and do some climbing and bouldering on our own. That essentially means that the class came with a free day pass and set of rentals- a great value! If you're looking to get into the hobby, the classes at Movement seem really worth it.

    "Dad, I want to go back for Father's Day."…read more We had not visited the Adventure Park in 8 years. We are fortunate enough to live 15 minutes from the park. When our daughters were younger it was a go to place for them and their friends. But the girls got older and their interest declined. I'm not sure what motivated my daughter want to go back but I'm glad we did. We went yesterday one day before Father's Day. My daughter chose this day because we went on Father's Day years ago and it was extremely crowded. Good plan. Not too crowded. Great weather too. Our experience we great. The staff was terrific. One downside. I'm 8 years older and I noticed it. So, if you are thinking about visiting don't delay because as the song says: Time Waits for No One.

We were very high up in those trees! The great thing though is that they have courses for all different types of thrill seekers - if you want to stay low to ground or just zip line, they have courses for that. If you want to physically challenge yourself or you like heights - they have courses for that as well. Safety wasn't a concern as there is an orientation video and then a practice course on the ground so you can repeatedly go through the process of locking on to a line and moving from line to line. I mean my niece did the practice course once and was off into the trees with out issue. There is a nice picnic area with tables so you could easily pack a lunch or snacks and make a day of it. I am eagerly waiting to go back for one of their night time clim

The gym seems like a small, tight-knit community here with folks of different ages and skill levels. When you first come in, you have to enter the bathroom/locker room to put your stuff down before heading to the main gym space. I like how there are lockers for everyone and you can set your own temporary code for the day - just like a hotel safe! So convenient. I enjoyed the creative climbs and setting here. It's a bouldering-only gym and they dont have the space/height for rope climbs. But they sure make up for it in the variety of boulders with bright and clean holds. There is a nearby workout area that's small, but mighty! They also have a systems board, kilter, cardio, weights - anything you need to stay in shape! The folks we climbed with seemed pretty chill here, too. I liked the vibe of the place and people didn't seem "too snobby with people in matching sets" (as other gyms give off). I'd love to come back more often if I lived closer. After climbing you can drop by the creamery for an ice cream cone - yum! or grab a cold pint at the brewery next door! Great location.

I've been to earth trek before (old name for movement) where I actually rock climbed. What's the difference you wonder? Higher climbing and you use a harness. I also find it easier.

The Sterling location isn't as big as some of the other climbing gyms, but it is plenty for a climbing session. I will say, the one issue of this location is that since it's a little small, the bouldering section is a little cramped in spacing compared to their other location in Alexandria.

I tell myself that making time and partnering up is better motivation and will ensure that I actually make the time to work on my fitness. Forget all that. I come for the eye candy. Plus, I lie to myself and imagine that if I keep up with climbing, I'll also have a ridiculously ripped, lean, toned body with a perfect V-shaped torso. No, don't burst my little dream bubble. Fair warning. Until you obtain a membership card (which took us roughly three weeks from signing up), you'll have to deal with the stench by the front desk. Our suspicious: the stack of rental climbing shoes that have been worn by countless people. Fortunately, I can now hold my breath or breathe through my mouth as I navigate past the worst of it. Once you're back into the main part of the gym, it's much easier to breathe. With plenty of bouldering, huge tall walls for belay climbing or top roping (which I still haven't experienced myself), and a couple of auto-belays, there has always been ample room to find a wall to climb. Plus, membership benefits include free yoga classes, a significant discount on climbing gear (which, believe me, I looked... it's never on sale anywhere), and a huge benefit on pricing for classes. The staff here seem well-informed and helpful, and it's always been easy enough to hunt someone down for questions about the gym, equipment, or suggestions on how to improve. After about a month, I can legitimately say that I'm pretty addicted. Whether it's on the climbing itself, or the view... well, jury's still out.
