Climb Time Drop-Ins
$17 for 2 hours (includes instructor, harness and chalk)

Want to bring the kids in or try climbing for the first time yourself? Can't find a climbing partner? Climb Time drop-ins are what you're looking for. We harness you up and handle the ropes. All you have to do is climb and have fun. Wear runners or rent our shoes for just a toonie more. Recommended for kids from age 5 to 85! Please call us at least several days in advance if you plan on bringing a large group so we can arrange a private group session for you outside the Climb-Time hours. We try to be flexible and will consider any reasonable request. Climb Time Drop-Ins are limited to 4 people per group/family to help prevent overcrowding. These sessions are popular and can fill up quickly, so we recommend that you arrive shortly before the drop-in begins to complete waivers and guarantee yourself entry. Prepaid reservations available on request. Don't be shy - give us a call so we know you're coming and have time to add staff as needed.
