Why Calgary climbers flock to this indoor rock climbing wall

As someone who considers climbing a few rungs on a ladder to swap out smoke detector batteries a high-stakes adventure, tackling the climbing wall at Flying Squirrel really took me out of my comfort zone (and by comfort zone I mean scared me to the point that I thought my hands might never stop sweating). But each time I made it to the top of the indoor rock climbing wall (three times for anyone keeping count) I learned something new about my fear of heights: though it stubbornly seems to be sticking around, throwing myself into these sky-high situations seems to dull the terror a bit, or at least reassures me that I can manage it with a bit of grit and plenty of hand chalk.

Turns out, I’m not the only thrill-seeker around—reviewers can’t stop talking about how Flying Squirrel’s indoor rock climbing wall in north Calgary masterfully mixes nail-biting excitement with family bonding time, creating an epic playground that stands out for both thrills and laughs.

 

A Wall That Challenges and Delights

Rico MH's five-star experience at Flying Squirrel in north Calgary highlights the indoor rock climbing wall as a key attraction: "Great for parties for all ages! Have loads of fun on the climbing wall with the foam pit!" Interestingly, Rico's glowing review omits any mention of faking an emergency bathroom visit at the last possible minute to avoid the climb—a strategy I definitely didn't consider either. This highlights just how engaging and accessible the wall is; it's not just about the challenge of the ascent but also the thrill and safety of landing in the cushy foam pit below. This blend of excitement and security makes it the perfect adventure spot for both climbing novices and seasoned enthusiasts.

 

More Than Just Indoor Rock Climbing

Nomad Paul gives us a broader view of what to expect: "This trampoline park is massive! They have a vast area of trampoline, dodgeball area, foam pit, wall climbing, balance beam, and many more!" His enthusiastic five-star review highlights a plethora of enjoyable activities, from the ever-popular trampolines to the decidedly more nerve-racking pursuits like indoor rock climbing, all designed to captivate everyone from energetic toddlers to adventure-seeking teens. It’s the perfect setting for family outings where the only real challenge is figuring out whether to bounce, dodge, or climb—though, let's be honest, some of us are just there to cheer from the sidelines.

 

Instagram-Worthy Fun

Canada With Kids adds another layer to the appeal of Flying Squirrel, focusing on the aesthetics and additional features that make every visit memorable: "This trampoline park is beyond impressive and massive…With a vast expanse of trampolines, foam pits, wall climbing, a dodgeball area, and much more, it's a haven for active fun…Additionally, the rock climbing wall, foam pits, and a rainbow-colored netted climbing area, fondly referred to by my kids as the life-size crochet net, contribute to the park's diverse attractions. Instagramable and fun at the same time!" Sure, it’s all fun and games until you face the indoor rock climbing wall, which, let’s be honest, is my own personal Everest. But once you're up there, the view (and the bragging rights) make it all worthwhile, assuming you can keep your eyes open long enough to enjoy it.
