Take your little climbers to Texas Rock Gym

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Texas Rock Gym Houston
Address:  1526 Campbell Rd Houston, TX 77055

Well friends, here’s the truth:  I’m not a huge fan of indoor playplaces. I’m sure some are awesome, but others are expensive and boring for at least one of my kids.

That said, after visiting the Ninja Warrior Gym last week, I decided I might be at the wrong places.

So this week I took the Ninja Warriors to the Texas Rock Gym.

Texas Rock Gym Senia Climbing
Located near I10 and I610, in the Memorial Area, this gym has a bouldering area, 5 auto-belays and 42 top-ropes.

I don’t know a darn thing about rock climbing, but I do know that Texas Rock Gym is open to all ages (with harnesses small enough for my 3 year old). I also know that all 3 of my kids (3, 6 & 8) could boulder (without clipping in their harness) and auto-belay (without requiring their mom to belay).

My rock climbers climbed for hours, right in the front part of the gym, where the easiest courses are located. Up the boulder, down the stairs, repeat. Up the auto-belay wall, swing down, repeat.

The staff is helpful in teaching the safety and getting you set to climb. After that, a staff member is walking around to help, but you need to take care of yourself and your kids.

The cool part is that the gym is very family friendly and had no problem with the 1 year old in our group tagging along. We carried him around the gym as we watched the bigger kids climb.

Texas Rock Gym Crate
This place was a lot of fun for us, but I will say that it’s expensive. The all day pass, with safety class and equipment, is $30 for adults and $20 for kids. (Get the rates HERE.)  That can get expensive, quick, for big families.

If rock climbing is going to be your “thing”, check out the memberships. (These come with fitness classes and guest passes for friends.)

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
