wall features & climbing info
A.R.T.Wall™ climbing walls are manufactured and constructed to not only look like real rock, but climb like it too. A.R.T.Wall™ is made from molds of real rock, perfectly reproducing shapes only found in nature.
The wall has 1,550 square feet of climbing surface.
Reservations are required for both staff-supervised and belay-qualified climbing. Reservations can be made online or by calling the front desk.
Each reservation is for a 45-minute time slot. No walk-ups. You must be 16 or older to make a reservation. Ages 5-16 may climb with a parent. Limit 4 people in the climbing area at any time, including staff. Extra family members may wait in the hall. When the wall is staffed, only auto-belays will be available.
