This week, the lovely Brooke from Brooklyn Berry Designs is telling us all about her son’s wall-climbing party at Vivo for Healthier Generations (formerly Cardel Place)!
Recently my son decided that for his 6th birthday party, he wanted more than just his immediate family to attend – he wanted to invite his friends from school.
His birthday is in March, which meant there wouldn’t be a lot of outside activities to participate in, and the idea of having all of those kids in my house was a nightmare. After seeing the climbing wall at the rec center while we were there swimming, the kids were all begging to try climbing the rock wall.
Ages
Climbing wall parties are ideal for ages 4+. The birthday boy and his friends were all 6 years old. Everyone was able to climb the wall fairly easily. My 3 year old twins were able to try to climb up the wall a few feet. They had fun and were able to have some success, but I wouldn’t say it would be the ideal age for party attendees. Grandma was also in attendance and had a blast climbing the wall.
Price
- Up to 12 participants: $133 per hour. This includes 2 instructors to belay.

The price includes all the equipment and instructions needed to climb the wall for an hour straight.
