For kids with growing bodies and developing muscles, climbing is an essential activity, one best performed on a play structure or sturdy backyard tree. But when the young ones get squirrrely, nothing is off limits—even the furniture that we tell them is off limits. On days that are too hot, too cold, or too wet for scaling things out of doors, indoor rock climbing facilities are the perfect solution. 

Rock climbing is a great workout for everyone, targeting muscles all over the body that can often be hard to reach via traditional exercise. It can increase muscle tone and improve cardiovascular health with regular participation. And because rock climbing requires a combination of physical exertion and creative thinking, even less athletic kids can feel immense pride and satisfaction looking down at what they have accomplished.
