The Edge Rock Gym

Such a fun experience and hard work all in one. First time rock climbing with the kids, so quite a learning experience. Maybe a 4.5- I have to get better for this to be a 5. Upon arrival we checked in, completed our waivers, and watched an orientation video (only for first timers). Parents, your are responsible for putting on the harnesses, and clipping anyone 14 and under in and out (and only 18+ can clip others in). I went alone with three kids (13, 11, 9) and so it was a bit of work ensuring all were clipped in and out. Luckily the crowd was not overwhelming and they could try each climb a few times before having to move them on which also gave me time to climb. Also, the difficulties of each are labeled, so it makes it easy to progress and know your level. If going with more than one younger kid, I would suggest two adults unless they are super patient. Easy to clip in and out once you do it a couple of times. Great confidence booster for the kids while teaching them to set aside fears and support each other, that is (gasp) technology free.Drinks are available, fair at $2 for water or Gatorade. Shoe rentals (I recommend as they helped a lot) are $5. I landed a Groupon which saved me over $20 for our party of 4.Offer memberships (have a gym as well) and boulder walls.Tips: -Complete a waiver in advance-Wear comfy clothes- workout gear -For younger kids, bring more than one adult to help clip them in and out, especially if you're also climbing-Really a good venue for building kids (and your own) confidence

Been coming here since 2022 and it's my favorite way to work out. Whether you've been doing it for a while or brand new, this place has something for all levels. I had never climbed anything but a ladder before starting here. It is challenging, sweat-inducing, requires problem-solving and alot of fun. The perfect way to work out if you ask me.

If you are looking for a fun family event with no experience needed, try climbing at The Edge!Pros: Easy to walk in, sign some forms, pay, watch a short video, and start climbing without any prior experience. Cons & Reason for the -1 star: We tried calling before arriving to ask questions, but their phone wasn't working. So we left our house and hoped for the best. Their website needs to be updated so it's more helpful and the links are in working order. Pro Tip: If you buy the day pass via Groupon, it's cheaper than at the venue. Would we go back? You bet!

For $20 we were able to climb all day! This was a very fun outing for our group of 5. We came around 3pm on a Saturday. You sign 2 waivers then watch a safety video and after that you're free to hook yourself up to the auto-belay (machine that makes it so you dont need a person holding onto the rope at the other end). They do have that option, but it's only available if you're certified through THEIR gym. Around 8 different walls to choose from plus a free climb spot!

If you've never climbed before it can be a little daunting but it's fun once you get the hand of it. They do label the "rock" by color for difficulty. You must sign a waiver and watch a video if it's your first time here. Other than that, you are on your own. You place the harness on yourself and go at it. We did this as a couple's night and everyone enjoyed themselves. I'd recommend hand chalk and climbing shoes. I wore tennis shoes and they tend to slip often.

The Edge Rock Gym is a cool place for a date activity or just to have some fun. I took my twin boys here and one climbed halfway and the other was scared so there goes that money. That has no bearing on my review. First You have to fill out an electronic waiver and watch an instructional video before entering the climbing area. The actual climb is fun and there a varying degrees of difficulty. I do however wish there were more walls to climb to minimize the time spent waiting for someone to finish their climb. I was hoping that there was a dedicated kid climbing area tailored for the younger climbers.Overall a good place to have some fun and get the blood pumping.

This may very well be my favourite climbing gym in the Sunshine State. I was introduced to this sport while I was a student at UNF. Naturally, The Edge was the best place to climb, train, and have fun! Although it's not a huge gym, the place is an excellent place to climb. There are two bouldering areas, a top rope/lead area, and auto belays. The setters are some of the best around. Furthermore, they have chalk eaters, which make for a much more comfortable day of climbing without inhaling a ton of chalk dust. As a member of the gym, you can bring in one guest per month and have access to the fitness area. Whether you're a Jax native or just passing through, The Edge is a cool spot to check out!

Want a fun experience to burn the calories? You have to check out Edge Rock. We were invited by some friends and we had no idea what to expect. We had never been to a rock climbing gym before. It was an awesome experience. Customer service was excellent. The staff was helpful in walking us through the process and safety trainings. It was super easy to navigate the walls and ropes. Great activity for big groups. Be warned though...you will be tired and possibly sore after this experience but it is totally worth it!

Our entire family got scabies from our visit. The staff is creepy and not helpful at all. Do yourself a favor and avoid this gym. The whole expected climbing culture here is non existent.

The manager Josh did not honor my Groupon when they closed for COVID. I had to pay the full price after they reopened. I do not recommend this business.
