So amazing having outdoor climbing right on Chicago. For years Ive tried to spend an afternoon here when visiting and finally did and boy it didnt disappoint.There is just so much climbing to be had here, bouldering, top rope, and lead. I wish they had a better crash pad setup but its realistic to outside.Cant wait to get back here and try more.

What a gem of a place to be able to climb walls right in the heart of the city. Very nice staff and knowable. We go weekly when the weather is nice.

Please let us use our own helmets! My wife and I flew from the Seattle area to visit Chicago, read everything about the climbing wall INCLUDING where it says we can use our own gear only to show up and be told we must use the helmets that they provide. My personal helmet was the same model even only newer and with less use (aka, safer). Most climbing gyms dont even require helmets when top rope climbing but you could at least allow us to be comfortableThe wall itself was good, staff know what they are doing when it comes to climbing

Its good for beginning climbers, great to put in the middle of the city

Pros: Friendly staff. Cool outdoor climbing space. Grippy holds. Lots of auto delay stations.Cons: Limited number of routes. Soft ratings. Climbers are restricted to 30 min of timed climbing with a $25 day pass.

Really nice to get outdoors with some climbing. Great experience with a good mix of easy and difficult routes.

Rock climbing and repelling available. Two different sized walls each with different climbing levels. Great for kids and adults. If you have your own gear and helmet, bring it and you won’t have to rent it. Also, they sell so many items that you may need at the park building where you rent the equipment. Don’t miss the other activists at this park as well.

Great staff, tons of routes. The view from the top is really great, and they certify you to top rope. Only downside is I’d say most of the routes are a bit tougher than First Ascent grading.

Skating at the ribbon is a great distraction from Chicago’s awful winters. The view is fantastic. If you have skates, bring them. The line for the rental is well over 30 minutes during busy times.

It was great... and they’s Awfully hungry. They’s staff kept me company while I bouldering ! 8>>

Kids always enjoy this park. Ice skating is happening in winter time and they had a blast

I could write a book about all the fantastic things in this park! Just GO THERE! You wont regret it!

Huge outdoor wall gas tons of potential but it falls flat because the route setting is sub-par and the majority of employees are not climbers.Otherwise it is a great idea. I wish they would get better route setters like the guys at First Ascent.Also, I have never been there when all of the walls have been opened. They usually close large parts of it. Possibly due to lack of employees.It is still fun and a great place for first timers. Hopefully it will rude to its full potential some day.

Great place for bouldering.Encountered some loose holds. wearing a helmet is something i am not used to. But the stunning location is worth the price.

Awesome outdoor . They staff kept me company while I bouldering.

Looks amazing. We didnt climb. We went to the playgrounds.

Incredible potential! But almost all the bouldering routes where average at best, the rating system is just inaccurate. All the routes are bland with no personality.Final complaint is we found at least 3 loose holds which can easily lead to an accident

Excellent variety of rock climbing walls!

Great Experience for my daughters b-day!

One hour mandatory course for top rope certification. GTFO

Amazing! Will return soon!

Cost too much. But otherwise....umm

Fun!

Great Staff!
