KIDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT EDGEWORKS SEATTLE!
Our gym is a shared space for climbers of all ages, all sizes, and all abilities – from new climbers to fitness enthusiasts to elite/competitive climbers training for their next big goal or adventure.
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!
Youth Policy

Here are some tips on how we can work together to create a safer experience for everyone:
RESERVATIONS MAY BE REQUIRED.- Our Pro Belay program is the perfect option; providing the best experience possible.
- Groups of 5 or more youth (under 14) must be part of a staffed group event or youth program.
- 1 adult cannot supervise more than 3 youth at a time.
- We are unable to accommodate custom group events or birthday celebrations; cake and balloons are not allowed inside the facility.
- If you’re unsure, the desk staff will be happy to go over the gym rules with you and your child.
- Parents must be actively engaged in supervising their children at all times.
- Keep young children within arm’s reach at all times. Not only for their safety but doing so also makes other climbers feel more comfortable knowing that you’re aware and involved.
- Be respectful of other climbers. If you bring an infant carrier/car seat, avoid setting it in potential fall zones and/or blocking access for other climbers.
- Walk; running is never permitted.
- Ropes are for climbing only; swinging, pulling or playing on ropes is strictly prohibited.
- Avoid walking between climbers + belayers.
- Do not touch anyone else’s gear and do not allow your children to do so.
- Remove crying children from the climbing floor, and possibly the facility
Our staff may take additional precautions to manage the risk of all gym users. If behavior is a problem, climbers will be asked to leave the gym for the day.
