A climbing gym is not a playground. Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport and risk management is our main priority; please take the time to read this page and review our gym rules before visiting.
YOUTH CLIMBING OPTIONS:- Day Passes are available for those 18 or younger.
- Groups of 3+: Contact us in advance your visit; reservations or other restricitions may apply.
- Edgeworks Bellevue, located at Crossroads Mall, offers additional programs for youth climbers.
Youth Policy
KIDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT EDGEWORKS!
Like adults, kids are expected to share the gym respectfully with other climbers; a climbing gym is not a playground - even though it really looks like one to them!
- All minors (under 18) must have a current waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian; friends, grandparents, siblings, or other family members cannot sign your child’s waiver.
- Groups of 3+: Contact us in advance your visit; reservations or other restricitions may apply.
- We are unable to accommodate large group events or birthday celebrations; cake and balloons are not allowed inside the facility.
Youth (under 14) must be actively supervised by an adult at all times; adults must maintain appropriate visual/physical contact with their climber(s) and provide direct oversight at all times.
- Young children must stay within arms reach of a non-climbing, supervising adult; not only for their safety but doing so also makes other climbers feel more comfortable knowing that you’re aware and involved.
- 1 adult cannot supervise more than 3 youth at a time.
- Unattended youth are not allowed on the padded climbing floors.
- Adults must commit to reading and enforcing our GYM RULES, policies and etiquette posted here and throughout the gym.
- Walk; running is never permitted.
- No yelling, roughhousing, horseplay or gymnastics (flips, cartwheels, etc)
- Never climb or walk under other climbers on the wall.
- Climbers must wear climbing shoes or closed toed athletic shoes; bare feet are not allowed on the walls.
CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS. Our staff may enforce additional precautions as needed to help manage risk for all gym users. If behavior is a problem, climbers will be asked to leave the gym for the day.
