The family had a great time. Plenty of routes/climbing options. Small, but not too small...was really the perfect size for us. Good for all skill levels. Baby friendly...helpful for me as I'm pregnant and have a 7 month old to chill with while the others climb. My 10 and 12 year old girls had a great time climbing. So did dad. Friendly staff, not overly involved, but helpful as needed. We spent about 2 hours there before the girls got tired. Members can climb earlier than non-members, so just know that before you go. Everyone is supportive of everyone else. It's a judgement-free climbing gym. We'll visit more often. read more

Purchased a groupon for two for my boyfriend and I. It was a great deal and also had an extra discount from valentine's day so that was a win. We went as first timers and the staff were very friendly and helpful as to guiding us how to tie the ropes and what we needed to do. Once i kept practicing, it began to get easier. The rock climbing part was challenging and a tad bit scary when you're up high and look down but overall it was a great workout. There were some parts of the gym that were definitely more challenging than others. I would recommend this to others if you're up for a physical challenge and something fun to do! read more

I love this gym! My favorite indoor bouldering in the area. They also have a rope room with a nice variety of top rope and sport. The staff is so friendly and helpful! read more

Website is a bit misleading, not even close to one the largest bouldering areas in the southeast. Decent to scratch the climbing itch, but not sure I could make it my main gym, even with it being so convenient for me (5 min drive from my office). Would not recommend for new people to climbing, all the bouldering problems are set very difficult, which is fun for a somewhat experienced climber, but 0 fun for someone new. Staff was great though and the gym wasn't crowded at all so that is a plus. read more

I would give this crap place a zero!!!! Smells like feet anyways and the people there wasn't even friendly. Disgusting!

We purchased a groupon and decided to try and give rock climbing a shot. I have not been since I was very little and my fiance was a rookie. We were lined up with an instructor who clearly was bored and tired of teaching noobies how to rock climb. However, he still showed us what to do and made sure we safely did it. We came on a Saturday afternoon and had an all day pass. Keep in mind they open for non-members at 2pm. They only have 2 beginner walls which was kind of a let down, as we had to wait and take turns with other people to climb them. We were forced to learn on a harder wall to start with. All in all a great workout as my arms were gassed at the end. And it was fun to get to the top of some of those walls and look down feeling accomplished! I hope they add another beginner/intermediate wall but otherwise a great place to try rock climbing for your first time or if you are a seasoned veteran. read more

This is the best indoor wall climbing experience I've ever had. Complete with both a bouldering room and a larger climbing room, this place is amazing. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned pro or a rookie, you can walk right in and have a great time. The staff is wonderful at showing you how to tie your ropes so you don't drop your wife off the wall (unless you want to I guess but I wouldn't recommend this :) ). And if you have any questions, they're available. They even helped us navigate the more difficult walls. The only negatives are your hands will turn into claws by the end of the night. And if you fall, your crotch will hurt if you're a dude. Both of those carry over for any climbing wall though. :) We can't wait to go back! read more

I have been to other rock gym in Atlanta and a few in Athens while I was at UGA, but was overall not impressed with the customer service and attention to other climbers. Tumblebees was awesome. All of the staff was friendly especially Cory who gave my friend and I a tutorial on climbing safety. After the class she even stuck around to just climb and give us tips on paths to take up the walls. The music playing was also a great addition to the climbing experience. I was overall VERY please and will be coming back every friday. read more

This gym is super tiny. What really pissed me off is how they charge you five dollars for belay training when you already know how to do it and have been doing it outside. No matter your skill level, if it is your first time they will charge you five dollars for one of the staff members to come and watch you, literally watch! The routes are pretty close to what I would expect when lead climbing outside, however there are not many routes. Also, this place actually charges a little higher for people who bring their own gear and just want to climb. I would not recommend climbing at this gym for all skill level because first, they don't have an auto delay system for beginners and for people who want to climb on their own, second, there are not many routes available for you to climb. Lastly, not the typical staff friendly people I am used to seeing at a climbing gym. read more

Been going to this climbing gym regularly for about a month now and absolutely love it. They have a huge selection of different kinds of routes from beginner to expert. Top rope, lead climbing, self belay, and bouldering...they have it all! It's an amazing environment for all ages and for all skill levels. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new challenge or just a fun afternoon. Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful if you need any advice! read more

I tried contacting this place via phone and email (through their website) to get information and plan a date for my friends and I to try rock climbing. Never got a response from anyone. read more

I've never been in the gymnasium of Tumblebees but I am huge fan of the rock climbing walls. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and will show you different climbing techniques. I recommend going with at least one friend, as they don't always have people there to belay you. read more

I decided to go to The Ultimate Climbing Gym on a Thursday around 7:00. Just know, this gym is attached to a tumbling gym in the front half of the building, so parking can be a little hectic with parents dropping off and picking up their kids. However, it's not a reason to dock the gym. First, I am a college student and this cost me $15 for harness and shoe rental, belay course, and just my time being there; this was more than worth it. The staff there was extremely friendly, clear, and concise on teaching proper belay technique and knot tying. The belay course only takes 10 minutes, so don't worry about that taking away from any climbing time. It was my friends first time climbing and I've done it less than 5, and we found there were ample problems for us to climb throughout our 3 hours at the gym! There are plenty of routes for more experienced climbers as well. Like myself and many others, the first time going to a climbing gym can be intimidating, but not so much here. We were helped throughout the entire trip making sure we were still properly tying the correct knots and even had some encouragement with climbing routes. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to get started in climbing. We didn't get a chance to try any of the bouldering sections, but there is plenty of that to go around next time! read more

I have to update my review of The Ultimate Climbing Gym as I was promptly contacted by the manager apologizing for our experience and offering a personal training session to make amends. Undecided if we will return but I am pleasantly encouraged by the level of caring shown by the manager. Thanks. read more
