Pretty fun little bouldering gym, the staff was pretty pawsome as well 🐕. It was fun to top out! I like that friendly good doggos are allowed too! Will most likely go back woth my good boy next time!

Cool place. I took my kids there to do some rock climbing, and they were into it. The person working was very nice. They have a lot of art in the place, which gives it a chill vibe. There’s one big rock in the middle of the place that has a lot of different routes. I’d love to see them grow and use the outside space more. I wish them success. They have summer camp that caught my eye, but the hours are a bit tricky. Maybe they’ll update them in the future. Support local business and go climb their rock.

I stumbled upon a comment in a FB parents group recommending The Boulder Garden as a great place for kids to try a new activity and build some skills. I am so grateful that we gave it a chance. My 6 year old LOVES the summer camp. There is gentle and warm structure, endless and genuine encouragement, and sheer joy every single day. We are on our second week and my kiddo is still excited to arrive and sad to leave daily. Her self confidence is soaring, and she's a pretty darn good climber. I know next to nothing about climbing AND I know my kid is beyond happy and cared for here (she even backed out of her first love - gymnastics - to come back!). 10/10 would recommend. A huge thanks to Johnny, Houston, and the team!

Had a great experience getting to know the boulder garden as I get to explore the neighborhood.

Awesome spot, super helpful staff and the routes were creative and well graded.

I’ll be sticking around to see where they go with all the new stuff coming to their outdoor section!!

The Boulder Garden is such an AMAZING place to boulder! Everyone at the gym supports you and it’s genuinely a great community. I was actually surprised with how many paths there are on the wall! They even change it every week or so. My coaches are very experienced and I love my class, in just a week I was already able to do more difficult climbs and more dynamic moves! I genuinely think that switching to The Boulder Garden was probably the best decision I made for myself.
