Philadelphia Rock Gyms - Malvern

I took our three girls (pre-teen/teen) to an intro course and climbing session. Our instructor was Xander, and I can't speak highly enough of him. He was patient, supportive, knowledgeable, friendly, clear, and pleasant from start to finish. He took what started as an intimidating experience (including belaying) and made it understandable and fun. The facilities were good and the equipment was all safe and in order, but the real star of the show was Xander, who would make a tremendous teacher in any field. Thank you, Xander!

We just had our daughters 7th bday party here. It was a total hit! A lot of her friends never climbed and in the 1.5 hrs they climbed you watched each child’s confidence grow as they challenged themselves and finished their climbs with pride. I bet a lot of the kids will pursue climbing more in the future! We live closer to the Oaks location but for a kids party Malvern is the best. The clear climb board where you can climb facing a friend was a favorite and then so many fun challenging colorful kid rock walls that the kids loved. The girls who helped run the party were great! #1 we felt safe at all times. #2 I could enjoy the party instead of serve each child & parent attending our party #3 during the climbs these girls were very encouraging and motivating for the kids. Please tip the party staff ppl well- they definitely deserve it! Do not hesitate to have your kids bday party here! It may be a short 1 hr and 45 min party but it is full of fun and memories… and I think a real confidence builder for the kids. The only negative experience was the partygoers either passed the place or found it hard to locate. The signage our front needs upgraded for sure. Seems Google maps tells you to turn too late. So many of our guests were a little late for the already short party.

Nice rock wall climbing gym. Staff is fairly friendly. However it did take over 45 minutes to check us in/get us geared up(I went with my 4 children).

Nice gym! Lots of variety for bouldering and top rope. Has a little gym in it to with practice climbing area. Auto belays too! The staff is very nice and will help you with any questions you have. Can't wait to keep climbing here! Edit: I had to lower the stars from 5 to 3 because I have had so many issues with billing for my monthly membership. It's a normal occurrence and every time I'm assured it's fixed. Sorry guys, I do love your gym but money is tight.

One of the best experiences I had. The staff was friendly and very helpful, the ladies that helped me were cheering on telling me I could do it as scary as it felt to do.
