Children in the Boulder Zoo will enjoy:
Routes designed for their height and ability
A safe environment to explore climbing and movement
Fun challenges that encourage coordination, strength, and confidence

Safety Requirements
For safety, all climbers and their supervisors are required to:

Both the safety video and relevant waivers can be accessed online. If, after completing these, you feel unsure about supervising your child or need additional guidance, you can book a Private Session with one of our instructors.
