I booked a climbing camp for a family friends child and he can't stop raving about it. Although the camps are all booked for this year, I highly recommend the camp for next summer 2022. He had a wonderful time and made several new friends and for age seven certainly had a good learning experience.

I use to climb at the gym and I am always impressed by the quality of the staff and gym itself.

If you’re looking for a great place to hang out, a solid rock climbing gym or just a place to workout, GRR is by far the best in town! I’ve been coming here for a while and have nothing bad to say about it! Love these people <3

I've been going here for over 4 years, surprised to see any bad reviews. Everyone is friendly when I come and go and they're always helpful. My favourite time to climb is in the early mornings before work with my daughter. I've met so many nice new people and ran into old friends and acquaintances too. From day one I new I wanted to come back. Everyone helped with my learning all the way, I could ask a staff anything and still do. My daughters and I just got my lead course certification yesterday and Aaron, John and Meghan were so helpful with bookings and training. I couldn't be happier than to move on to this next level to experience. I also make good use of the yoga classes, again...great staff. I went to a couple of climbing gyms in Vancouver and they couldn't compare to GRR. It made me feel very fortunate to live so close to a wonderful gym. Also went to one in Markham which was good but mostly bouldering which is also fine but I really like top rope and now lead rope. Thanks everyone at Grand River Rocks, you're awesome.

Lots of fun for all ages but my teens especially love it here. Lots of challenging runs for them. Every time we drive by they ask to go.

What can I say, this place is an aweaome place to bring kids for a birthday party! The staff are great and very friendly, it's an activity that combines being physical and critical thinking, the kids see how it's an activity enjoyed by all ages, and they constantly make small adjustments to the facility so it never exactly the same climb ever time you visit.

I always recommend this facility to anyone looking at something different for a birthday party idea.

I’ve been going to Grand River Rocks with friends for the last two years and I love it. The people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable, and they lay out new climbs regularly so I’ve never gotten bored. It’s a great way to hang out with friends and have some fun!

We took our daughter and three of her friends here for her birthday and the girls have an amazing time. The staff could not have been more friendly or more accommodating. Our instructor Lisa was terrific with the girls who loved every minute of climbing. My wife and older daughter have both been with Guides and Pathfinders as well. We definitely recommend it and will be back.

We brought our niece here as part of her birthday gift! From the moment we walked in the door, the staff were super friendly and helpful! They explained everything very well and made sure we were comfortable and set up to have the best time! We will definitely be coming back! Thanks for the great time :)

The big wall is great for lead climbing and pumping up your arms. This facility has doubled it's foot print since we first when there with some really fun kids climbs. We love checking out the different setting styles across North America and this gym is fun.
