What time can I arrive?

Please arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Roca recommends that the family hosting the birthday party arrives 15 minutes prior to the birthday party start time. This will allow ample time for setting up and greeting other guests.

Can I decorate the party room?

You are more than welcome to bring table cloths, balloons, and/or other table decorations, but Roca does NOT allow any decorations to be taped to walls or hung from ceiling.

Can I bring food? If yes, does Roca provide any tableware?

Roca does not provide food, silverware, plates, cups, etc., but you are more than welcome to bring in your own or order from the places listed below! In our designated party room, you will find a small refrigerator (under the counter-type) and sink. We do not have a freezer.

How many people can climb?

The base price for birthday parties includes 10 climbers. You can bring up to 15 climbers total, with each additional climber costing $21.

How many adults/chaperones should I bring? Can they climb?

Birthday parties will be required to provide at least 1-2 adult chaperones who will assist climbers from the ground (they do not climb). Any additional adults or spectators that come may not exceed the limit of 20 people total (this includes all climbers, chaperones, and spectators) in the event. Remember, however, there is a max limit of 15 climbers.

How long do I have the party room? How long can I climb?

You will have access to the party room, the blue carpet area of the gym, and a qualified Roca instructor booked for 2 hours.

Roca recommended party timeline:

Please feel free to allot your 2-hour time how you see fit. Roca instructors are very flexible and will help tailor parties to each individual group based on their needs. Below is an outline for a recommended party timeline for a mock birthday party from 3:00pm-5:00pm.

  • 2:45pm - Host family arrives at Roca

  • 2:50pm - Other party guests begin to arrive

  • 3:00pm - Gym orientation & rules with Roca Staff, harness fitting

  • 3:10pm - Start climbing!

  • 4:30pm - Cake and presents

  • 4:55pm - Begin packing up. Please be mindful that there may be another party shortly after yours and our staff need time to clean the space.

What if I can’t find a time available to book a birthday party on your website?

We do NOT have space for eating food or opening presents as you CAN’T use the party room or our social area for that, so plan to just climb with your small group of max 8 or less.

Our birthday party reservations fill up fast and far out in advance at least 3-4 weeks. You must at least 2-3 adult chaperones to supervise your group on your own. You must have an adult to climber ratio of 1:3 (adults-to-climbers). All the children that you are bringing must have their parent fill out a Roca Visitor Agreement ahead of time. Saturdays and Sundays AFTER 3pm are VERY busy, please plan to come in the morning or early afternoon to climb on weekends and do not bring a large group of children.

Please call us 507-218-1500 to ask about how to bring in a small group (max 8 children or less) to climb.
