Testimonials:
- I could not have been more impressed. I initially emailed the general email asking about the rental. Calli Jean responded quickly and was very helpful with the reservation process. She sent waivers and directions ahead of time so I could include them with invites. She sent a follow up email closer the Friday before our reservation to see if I had any questions. On the day of the rental, I could not have been more impressed with how knowledgeable, kind, engaged, and patient the two staff members working were with a group of third grade boys. They were set up and ready for us when we got there and really made the climbing experience run smoothly. The boys really liked them and they were wonderful role models! Staff was professional and kept things organized. They provided positive support while challenging and encouraging the little climbers. Very excellent customer service! I had never been in the Falcon Center and was impressed with the equipment and how clean the whole facility was. Thank you for a really terrific experience.
- This was a really great experience for us and we will be recommending it to friends! Thank you so much, (my son)'s 9th birthday was a blast.

Is the reservation private or dual use with others at the facility?
The Climbing Party is a private reservation for your group. The wall is not open to people not in your group.
The Open Skate and Knowles parties are both during open recreation times so there will be other poeple using the facility at the same time. You will, however, have the private room to yourself.
For the Climbing Party, are climbers able to climb for the entire two hours? How is the two hours broken up?
The party will begin with an overview of some safety rules and how to put on a harness. From there, you can spend the rest of the two hours however you wish. Parties typically begin with climbing, break for food and gifts after an hour, and use the remaining time to climb again.
When can we reserve?
Due to a high demand in private reservations and limited staff, only certain times are available for reservations. To see available reservation times, click here.
