This event is a time slot where adults can book birthday parties for a child. Once you reserve a time slot, The Notch staff will follow up with a confirmation and next steps.

Birthday Parties at The Notch Include:

• 2 hrs of access to the kids wall on our Upper Mezzanine, party room, kitchenette, fridge, tables, and chairs.    
• Introduction, warm-up game, orientation to climbing, and engaging programming on our kids wall led by our enthusiastic staff (75-90 minutes)
• Gear rentals are included for all participants

Helpful Guidelines:

• Please don’t plan to arrive more than 30 minutes early as the party space will not be ready yet!
• The party organizer may arrive to set up 30 minutes early, but should be mindful that staff may also be cleaning and prepping the space during that time.
• The Notch will provide an orientation, an introduction to climbing safety and technique, and belays for 75-90 minutes of the party.
• A waiver is required for all attendees, including parents.
• After climbing, attendees may use our party room for food, cake, presents, etc for the remaining 30-45 mins of the 2 hr party block.
• Parents are asked to supervise non-climbing activities and one parent may be asked to assist staff with group management as needed.
• If a parent is interested in climbing, a day pass (or membership) is required.
• Food can only be consumed in the party room. We will climb first, then you may celebrate as you wish!
• Sorry, no outside decorations are permitted at this time! No birthday candles please.
• Food, drink, utensils, and paper-goods aren’t included in the base price. If you’d like for us to supply food or other supplies, please contact us when you make your reservation to make arrangements.
• Cleaning/ damage fees may be assessed. Climbers exceeding the 10 person climbing limit are not permitted without advanced discussion with The Notch and, if allowed, will cost $40/climber rather than $30/climber to cover additional staffing needs.
