Birthday Parties in London, Ontario

We recommend participants be minimum age 6 and up.  While we can accommodate climbers down to age 3–for example a younger brother who wants to be at the party with their older sister–our facility is not designed for those under age 5. If most of your group is going to be 4 or younger we would suggest a soft-play facility aimed at their age such as Playaway.

The climbing portion will last sixty minutes. At that point most of the kids’ hands will be tiring, and they will definitely be hungry!

To comply with our insurance requirements, you will need to make sure that every child attending has a waiver filled out by their parent. You cannot fill out a waiver for friends, nieces, nephews, cousins or others. Participants without waivers will not be able to climb. We will provide a link you can send your guests to have the waiver filled out online. Parents can also fill out waivers when dropping off kids.

If they are staying for the party, yes. Any parent entering the climbing areas also requires a signed waiver, even though they are not climbing. Parents picking up or dropping off do not need them. 

Climbers should wear comfortable clothing they can move in. We will provide climbing shoes and harnesses for all participants. We recommend t-shirts and shorts long enough that harnesses are not on bare skin. Climbers should not wear rings and pockets should be empty.

We provide one staff for every four climbers.  

Our staff will look after all of the climbing, but if you would like to help our staff will show you how to operate the auto-belays. If there are any behaviour or safety issues created by the climbers parents will be required to step in to assist. 

We require a minimum of two adults to stay with the party during climbing time. 

We emphasize to climbers that if they are nervous or scared they can always ask to come down. Our experience is that most climbers will keep trying if they know they can stop if they feel uncertain. Our diversity of climbing activities means most climbers can find a style that they enjoy.  

We do not do bouldering with parties. The additional safety orientation eats into climbing time, and especially for young/new climbers the big walls and ropes are the main attraction.  

Our staff do not supervise or provide activities during the time in the party room, that is for the host parents to manage. Staff will check in periodically to see if there is anything you need.  

The party room is quite large (20 x 35 feet!). It also has a small climbing wall inside you can use.  

We will set up tables and chairs for the number of climbers. Our parties include paper plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. We have knives and serving utensils. We also have a fridge and freezer available.

Yes! We have a standard size kitchen fridge and freezer available for storing any food you bring that needs it.  

We are not able to provide cake for the party.

Absolutely! While most decorations are fine, helium balloons and loose glitter of any kind are not permitted. Any decorations must be taped up (no nails or pins) and must be removed at the end of the party. Any items left behind will be disposed of.

If there is a party before your event you will have the last 30 minutes of climbing time to decorate. 

Your party fees only cover your climbing time with the party. If you would like to continue climbing after your event you would need to purchase a day pass.

Having more belayers is great! But to ensure we are delivering the party to our standards we still provide the same staff ratio and fees remain the same.

Yes they do. Membership does not include participation in parties. 

The classic party is climbing time, followed by time in the party room. You bring in your own food and snacks. With the Super Party we provide the pizza, juice, and a  fruit tray  for the participants.

Super Parties include one single-topping pizza for every 4 participants.  Plain cheese and pepperoni are the most popular, but you can choose any of the standard pizza toppings. Staff will ask you to confirm your choices at your check-in.

Please let us know of any number changes by the Tuesday  before your party .  This allows us to ensure your party is adequately staffed so everyone can enjoy their time with us! Please note, after this date if you have  fewer attendees you will be billed for the number of guests you have booked.  If you bring more guests at the last minute there will be fees charged for the additional guests.  Please contact birthdays@junctionclimbing.com to communicate any changes in numbers.

Ahead of the party we will ask you to forward a list of names so that we can have them ready in our system to match up with waivers. When forwarding the list provide all the names you know, along with your best guess at spelling.  Having this list will speed up the check in process.   

As the pizza is prepared offsite we are not able to control or guarantee specific food requirements. We would recommend using our classic party and arranging for food which you can be certain is correct your guest.

Yes we can! These events need to be set up directly with our booking manager–email bookings@junctionclimbing.com.

Absolutely! You can also look at our guided climbs, which are 60 or 90 minute climbing sessions without time in our party room.  

Absolutely! We love to host anyone who wants to climb.

Most kids are quite tired after an hour and ready to be done climbing. We do not offer a product with just 30 minutes in the party room. If you have a group like a hockey team that you think has the fitness and energy to climb for longer we suggest looking at our guided climbs.

Our party booking calendar opens 3 months in advance. We are not able to book parties before that time.

To ensure adequate staffing parties can only be booked online with three weeks notice. Bookings with less than 3 week notice may only be arranged with the booking manager (email bookings@junctionclimbing.com) and may not be possible.  

We do! Loot bags can be ordered during your booking or added when you check in at the desk.  They include a chalkbag, snack and sticker!

Still have a question–email birthdays@junctionclimbing.com.
