It was my first time visiting Adventure Rock MKE with a friend. The staff members were very helpful and friendly. After a quick orientation and tour, we were able to climb right away. There are a variety of "routes" to climb using their auto-belay system (meaning you dont need another person in order to climb many of the routes). For more advanced climbers, there are traditional setups allowing you and a partner to belay each other and climb more challenging routes. A bouldering wall exists on the second level if youd like to give that a try (climbing much shorter routes without a harness). The interior is well-lit and clean. Id consider a membership here if I knew my schedule allowed me to get in a few days a week.

Adventure Rock MKE is exactly what Milwaukee has been needing. It is an amazing facility and the staff and crew are very knowledgeable and approachable. The climbing community at Adventure Rock MKE is one of progression, intensity and fun. Every time I go for a bouldering session I can get advice or visual on how to solve a problem. Everyone is respectful on and off the wall. Facilities are clean and well kept. I started off with a 6 week membership and only 3 weeks in I can say Ill be getting the annual membership for sure!!! Worth every penny and a great alternative for a traditional workout or when its raining and cant climb outside. 10/10, 5 stars and a hoot and holler just for good measure!

Adventure Rock Milwaukee is overall the best gym in the area. Its wall are fairly tall, the route setting is consistent and turns over fairly quickly, and there is plenty of space and variety in the walls. There are plentiful options for lead, top rope, bouldering, and auto-belay; so it fits with whatever style of climbing youre looking for on a particular day. However, the routes tend to be fairly straightforward, without much in terms of tricky sequences to work out or fun acrobatic movement. The holds dont vary much, so you get used to seeing the same tropes repeated. It also can get extremely crowded during busy hours; definitely target off hours.

Adventure rock is the real deal. They have a beautiful facility in the heart of Milwaukees east side with everything a serious rock climber could want in a gym. Auto belay, top rope, lead routes, a large bouldering cave, a moon wall, even a small gym with bikes and weights. Most importantly the staff is top notch. They are all experienced climbers who always make safety a priority. I have taken two of their instructional classes and the instructors were very thourogh and informative.

I was there for the first time 11/12/16. It was an amazing workout. $25 if youre not a member includes shoes and all you need to have a fun time with friends. The staff is mega friendly and very informative. Perfect time to go is early in the afternoon because it gets packed early evening. Have a good time!

Fantastic facility. Its a joy to climb in such a nice space. Gets a little too loud for me sometimes. Great employees at every location! Weve been climbing at these gyms for almost two years and I cant recall a single unpleasant interaction. Desk staff could sometimes be more knowledgeable.

Went with a few friends for the first time and it was a blast. Went through a short information orientation by Jonah and we climbed multiple different courses and walls. I suggest getting the climbing shoes if you really want to get into it. Super fun - Check it out with friends or family.

Beautiful, big gym! So nice to have a rock climbing place on the East Side! The routes change regularly to keep things fresh and the staff are very friendly and entertaining. Tons of auto-belays in case you have to climb alone or dont have your belay certification. I now go every week!

Rock climbing is a great way to stay physically fit. And its much more fun and challenging that exercise machines or weightlifting, etc. The staff at adventure rock is awesome. The numerous climbing routes vary from novice to expert and they are updated regularly.

Great place to go climb. I wish this location had different rooms/nooks like their other location. However walls are real tall and this place can accommodate scores of people without feeling crowded. Glad to see the gym doing so well. Staff is great too!

Very expensive when compared to similar gyms nationally, but is a great location well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. They are adding furnishings as they go, which is good, but should look better when its finished.

This new location is awesome. Though it can be busy during peak hours it is never to busy to get time on the wall. The routs are changed on a regular enough basis that new problems are created for all skill levels.

Joseph Crawford

Great addition to the east side of Milwaukee. The staff here is very friendly and Ive enjoyed going so far. Its a big location that will keep you interested with new climbing routes installed regularly.

Rade Flatter

Best climbing gym in Milwaukee. Lots of top rope, lead, and bouldering. Unfortunately, the gym is often crowded with kids running around and theres not much of a training area for climbing.

Jeanne Baade

I loved this climbing gyms Brookfield site so was thrilled when they outdid it at the new location in MKE. Great climbing at all levels, big open bouldering wall, and super helpful staff!

Emily DeLeeuw

Awesome place to climb in MKE. Busy at times, but not hard to get on a wall. Staff is helpful but they dont hover. Great place for beginners and experienced climbers alike.

Ruth Burant

This place has great climbing walls and they train you to climb correctly. It is for children and adults. The staff is great. Plus they have camps for kids in the summer.

Mari Tomizawa

Came as a complete beginner who was terrified of rock climbing. Staff was very friendly, patient, and helpful! They had me climbing fearlessly in no time!

Ryan Buttke

Best indoor gym in Milwaukee. Large and the problems get reset regularly. Staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful for any questions.

Sarah Leipold

Super fun rock climbing for any experience level. The only downside is how crowded it seems to always be, but whatchya gunna do?

Sy Ali

Big, open, space with lots of auto-belay, top-rope, lead, and boulder routes---in all ability ranges. Frequent route updates.

Donnie Bogle-Boesiger

Lots of fun for a regular work out place or for the afternoon to try something new. Much better than the gym in Brookfield!

Aleksandar Styles

Excellent climbing gym. Theres lots of wall space for climbing on top-rope/lead and a large bouldering wall as well.

Christian Stone
