Not crowded, incredibly high walls with tons of overhang options. It's situated right next to an elementary school - I must admit I have no idea where you're supposed to park for the gym but I stopped at the elementary school (it was a weekend) and traversed through the playground to get here. There's a basketball court right outside too, where kids were playing a pickup game. Wish I lived here so I could actually climb here!

Only thing is that at the top where there is the overhang they have a white plastic pipe on the edge. It's slippery and if they put a stepper rock on the bottom, it's very hard to get access and there is no grip. But I do see the pro with those white pipe. At least you won't get scraped. They have a few auto belay. Not bad. Had a great time here. First time here free rentals. Definitely coming back

Separate parking lot but street parking available if it gets full as well. As mentioned in other reviews (and I was really hoping they were wrong) the place has a deep smell of feet when you first enter, but luckily the nose senses get overwhelmed and you get used to it after a little bit. Other than that, my first time rock-climbing was amazing! After signing our waiver forms, Christian (our instructor) came out and greeted us. He was friendly, helpful and remembered all our names in a really short time! He took us climbing walls starting with easy to medium to hard. He was very informative in what muscles we should be using, giving us tips (like keeping your arms straight as much as possible decrease fatigue), encouraging us, giving us breaks, etc.. He was very flexible in what difficulty in walls we wanted to climb and gave us tips on which rocks to use if we got stuck. We went through 4.5 walls in our 2 hours and my arms were spent. Good workout for your body and mind, to figure out the best path and determination to get to the top. Overall, super great experience and he was an amazing instructor! I would definitely climb and hang out here again!

Layla helped us out and helped my friend with her orientation. She was very nice and took her time explaining things to her. Layla was overall very pleasant and lovely that I had to leave a review for this place. I've been to 20+ climbing gyms over the span of 10+ years but she was easily one of the best staff I've encountered. Aside from that, I love the sets and the feet washing station they offer. Overall a great place for all levels!

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE HIVE PORT COQ - Can't find the location on Yelp…read more We were excited to visit The Hive Coquitlam as a family, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I brought our 8-month-old baby with us -- obviously too young to climb or even walk. We were simply hoping to enjoy a relaxed session while taking turns climbing and keeping our baby nearby. Initially, we had our baby sitting quietly on the mat near the back traverse wall, which was not in use. We held him up briefly against a hold to take a photo (he can't climb or even stand on his own). A staff member approached us and said our baby couldn't touch the holds unless we paid for him, which felt unnecessary but we complied. He also told us the baby was ALLOWED to sit on the mat. Later, we moved to the Kilter Board area -- again, with no other climbers present -- and continued taking turns climbing while our baby sat beside us. A different staff member came over and told us babies are not allowed on the mat at all. When we mentioned what the first staff member said, she simply responded that she didn't know why he would say that. We felt like we were being shuffled around and treated as an inconvenience, despite being respectful and careful not to disrupt anyone. What was most frustrating was the inconsistent information from staff -- it left us confused and unwelcome. If The Hive has specific policies about infants in the facility, that's understandable. But those policies should be clear, consistent, and communicated respectfully. Sadly, this experience left us feeling that young families are not welcome here.

I am a regular at the Cliffhanger gyms in Vancouver and Coquitlam, so I was curious to see how things might be done differently in this gym. The set-up of the place is cozy, and the people are really friendly. The space is not very big but the variety of climbs they offer, relative to the square footage that they have to work with, is probably the best I've seen. Low angle friction climbs, lead, overhang - and the first time I saw completely horizontal ceiling/roof routes. The routes are more difficult than that of Cliffhanger, with a closer simulation of the outdoors (they use some real rocks as holds as well). Lots of bouldering problems - most are not graded as V-something but just Easy/Medium/Hard. (But the "Easy" ones aren't that easy.) The place gave me an impression of it being a sort of "climber's lab" - where the good climbers experiment with routes and moves and techniques. They probably start out doing this for themselves or for their buddies - but the result is a mix of really interesting climbs that make you think. It was actually quite humbling. They didn't charge us for the belay/lead test, which was nice. The girl (Jennifer) gave us helpful tips during the tests as well. If the location were more suitable, I would love to be a regular here.

Same goes for the rest of the staff, however, I'd avoid this place from 11-1pm on the weekends since it's a hot time for children's birthday parties. So plenty of chances to get kicked in the head by one, or you know, vice-versa, but either way, bad. Definitely go for lessons if you're new, or if you need a refresher course. The instructors are all really helpful.

Update: went 2 years later and did the extreme course with my 12 and 14 year old kids after the…read moreclassic course. It was really fun, and it's quite the workout if you're not usually climbing. Friendly staff who are helpful and great and explaining things. We had booked, paid, and filled waivers ahead of time but checking in took 15 minutes, as they only had one window open. In the harnessing area, we were there on a weekday morning and we were the only ones in our own group so there was no wait. We started with the classic course. There was a staff who stayed with us for most of the first half, and he said we finished the first part fast and caught up to a slow family. So he suggested we do the next course and then come back, which we did. He left us after awhile so when we went to the extreme course, no one was there to show us what to do and it's a different lock system so I had to go find someone. The extreme course is pretty challenging in my opinion, and this was our 3rd time at WildPlay. I'm a middle-aged mom who doesn't work out and managed to do it! My arms were sore after but it was fun !! There was an overweight kid who had a hard time just climbing a ladder on the classic course - so you have to be someone fit to do it but I think for the majority of active people it's doable if you have an open mind, like challenges, zip lines and climbing. Do it! YOLO!

We waited a LONG time after getting the harness to walking toward the course for a short demo. During that time waiting, someone could have walked us to the course so the kids could practice with the hook because many kids struggled on the course. - Having smaller groups would avoid the back log of people when a kid wanted to get off the course and if people are slower. It could easily get bottle necked. About 30 of us had to back track since he was one of the first people in the group who was scared on the first run. Imagine if it was half way through. - Younger kids should have a parent with them on the course as mandatory. The kid in front of my son was having troubles with the hook and the guide was rarely to be seen. She didn't stay with the group long and we could never find another guide. The child's mother had no interest in helping from below! I ended up helping this young child a few times or we would be stuck behind him for a while. A second guide came much later, but when the kid behind us got caught on the 2nd zip line, my husband had to help the kid after him to get back to the top to loosen the rope. That was a dangerous situation. More staff needed, especially on the kid's course, if it is not expected that parents join their kids. For some parts, a parent wouldn't even be able to help if they can't reach higher from on the ground. They ask your feedback in a survey and I also emailed personally, but no response. I would go back, but try going on a weekday or early morning during less busy times.
