Central Rock Gym — Local services in Tampa

Came down from Spring Hill to try this place out with my 3 kids (13, 10 and 3)

Really nice and clean facility. We went on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. The front staff was SO friendly and went above and beyond. The atmosphere and the fact they let my 3 year old autobelay made the whole experience for me. They also had a kid area with a slide!

We've been to multiple rock climbing facilities with and without kids and while the place was 90% bouldering all my kids had a really great time. Also, it looks like they are expanding the autobelay wall!

Happy to have a place to replace the other one in Tampa that closed. While the one is st Pete has a really great facility with lots of options, they are usually super busy and have so many rules, it's extra stressful with kids and especially a toddler.

Oh there are a LOT of waivers especially if going with kids. I highly recommend doing them online before you go. Makes check-in...

Nothing but good things to say about this mostly bouldering only gym. They have a few auto belay routes and cool climbing area for little ones that even lets them top out and go down a slide. The bouldering walls are great. Wonderful variety of difficulty, holds, and style. There was so much to work on it was hard to pick a place to start. The ratings were a little different than the gym I usually go to but once I figured it out it was easy to find things within my range. The staff was friendly and courteous. I filled out the waivers ahead of time and was able to check in and start climbing within 5 minutes. Bathrooms were clean and there was a nice workout area in the back. There was the added bonus of chalk pots throughout the gym so you didn't need to rent a chalk bag or bring your own. I definitely recommend this gym for anyone local or visiting the Tampa area. The only thing missing was a cave area but otherwise a...

I’m knocking down because the price keeps going up but half the day they are closed (no I’m not driving 45 minutes to other location) They don’t have enough staff to monitor small kids running around mats that I could break my legs falling on. $94 a month and no yearly option is nuts.

Decent mid routes and great mats to land sketchy dynos. The gym equipment is always maintained (unlike other climbing gym in area). This is worth the drive from St Pete to have enough good climbs that I never run out in my grades or have to wait 10 people deep. The events are a ton of fun. I hope to see a CRG in Pinellas...
