Rock Climbing in NYC
People think of New York City as a city of museums, historical sites, and active people watching on crowded streets, but did you know that there are also a number of indoor rock climbing options in New York? That you can take a break from quiet museums and bustling streets and find the perfect balance of activity and fun in these indoor rock havens? New York City rock climbing walls are a great place for families to go after they've dragged their kids to the MET and to the MoMA one too many times, or if the yearly birthday party in Central Park idea starts to go stale. Though, let's be honest—do you really need a reason build muscle, build skill, and have fun climbing up indoor rock walls?
Manhattan Rock Climbing
Let your kids hang from the walls and use up some energy at the indoor rock centers of the Big Apple! The various climbing centers and climbing clubs will provide an afternoon of climbing, either on your own or in small group classes. Professionals and children alike are welcome on the grips of Manhattan! Practice belaying skills and balance in a safe and supervised environment. Before you know it, you'll be bouldering with the pros, both indoors and out!
Brooklyn Rock Climbing
You don't need to stay in the city for your rock climbing adventure. Spending the day at the Brooklyn Museum? Consider rock climbing in the late afternoon to wrap up your day. Did stormy weather ruin your plans for Coney Island? Play indoors instead at a rock climbing gym! Bring a partner, take turns belaying, and work your way up the climbing holds along your designated route—beginner through advanced.
Need another reason to consider rock climbing in New York City? Check out the price—to bring a family of four climbing can cost less than dinner and a movie, and it's so much more fun!
