- dlh.@#*Sheffield, United Kingdom7 contributionsChildren’s partyMy 11 year old daughter had a birthday party there and had a fab time. The instructors were brilliant and really encouraged the kids to push themselves. Some were a little nervous but staff really helped them to conquer their fears and reach the top even the big walls. We used a party room afterwards for food but would be fantastic if they included doing food for the parties, they would definitely be on to a winner there. Kids much preferred this to the usual trampoline type parties.Thank you for your review! We are really happy that you all had such a great time, hopefully we will be seeing some of you again in the future!Written 19 March 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 17 March 2024
- Cathy H13 contributionsGroup beginners session with Jez.We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. We had a group beginners session for 5 kids aged 9-11 with Jez who was fantastic with the children, supportive and encouraging. The kids loved it, after our climbing session Jez showed us around the bouldering area and let the kids have a go.Thank you for the great review, I'll make sure Jez gets to see this as well! Looking forward to hopefully seeing you all again in future.Written 8 April 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 5 April 2024
- paulhodgkinson19874 contributionsAwesome Walls, SheffieldJust had an amazing experience at Awesome Walls Sheffield. I took my 7 year old son and 13 year old nephew. Both have no sense of fear and absolutely loved it there. We had an amazing expert Jez who pitched the tuition at just the right level for both! He told me he had 5 grandchildren so he's had plenty of practice. Both can't wait to go back.... But I think I'll just sit in the cafe and watch next time. 😅Hi Paul - thanks for the great review, I'll be sure to pass this on to Jez as well! We look forward to seeing you all in again (even if it is just for the cafe!) :-)Written 13 August 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 August 2024
- Em13 contributionsAwesome birthday partyMy son had his 7th birthday party here and it really was awesome! He had 13 friends with him of varying confidence, experience and ability but everyone loved it and gave it their best. The staff and instructors were friendly and hardworking, and set several routes up for the children to try including overhangs for those who wanted a challenge. Afterwards we hired the party room so that we could do party snacks and birthday cake which was a lot of fun.Thank you for the great review, we're glad you son had such a great time! Looking forward to seeing you all again some time.Written 3 September 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 1 September 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My son chose Awesome Walls for his 9th birthday party because he wanted to do something 'adventurous' and he was definitely not let down! The instructors were brilliant and really encouraged the children. He made it to the top of every route, even the 17m wall, despite never having been any higher than a playground climbing wall before. Squint at the photo & you might just be able to see him.
All staff were friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was calm but welcoming. You can even get a cup of tea for a good price too.
I would highly recommend the venue for climbing or climbing parties.

I have been taking my performance squad to Awesome Walls for many years and it’s always a great experience. The walls are some of the highest in the country and are always challenging. There is always a welcome from the staff and the food and coffee from the cafe is great. I wish that I lived closer as it would be my first choice of Centre. I look forward to national competitions at AW as the atmosphere, setting and vibe is unparalleled. Well done!

My son had his 9th birthday party here, said it was the best birthday party ever! Even his non-climber friends loved it and the instructor handled the mix of abilities in the group very well. Staff were friendly and having the separate party room is great for keeping the kids contained for the cake cutting and snacks. Only improvement I can suggest is that if climbing shoes have been prebooked and paid for as part of the party package, it would be useful to be able to supply the kids shoe sizes in advance to cut down on the faff at the start!

I came here on the 2nd June 2022 just after 2pm and was made to feel thoroughly unwelcome as soon as I walked through the door.
Despite coming to the centre to spend my money here rather than elsewhere, it seemed as though me wanting to pay for entry was a huge inconvenience to the member of staff (which I later learned was the duty manager).
Without saying much at all she was able to be incredibly condescending. I hope I never have the displeasure of dealing with her again.
I certainly won't be making the journey to come here again.

My daughter aged 9 really enjoyed the beginner taster session! Will be visiting again soon. We had Mathew the instructor who showed us around and provided saftey advise and signed us up as regular members. So excited to do this again with my daughter soon!

Great climbing venue. Good routes. Great variety. Good staff. All round venue to be proud of. If I could have one wish it would be for decent coffee and food that isn’t processed crap. We did have coffee but it was cold and took ages. Having said that it’s a climbing wall not a coffee shop but I do think you’re missing a revenue trick.
Thanks for a great days climb today.

Attended for an induction with my partner for a first taste at climbing - everything was clean and tidy with COVID precautions well established.
We were under the expertise of Edgar who was excellent and taught us all we needed to know to be able to climb safely on our own. All staff were polite and helpful and we would recommend Awesome Walls Sheffield to anyone!

Went for first time last weekend and it was brilliant, we didn't book it as we didn't know you had to but they had a instructor spare to teach us. Would highly recommend going here, friendly service, lovely coffee too. 10/10 😊

I went with my 6 year old son & had a great time. We are both beginners & the instruction was clear and pitched at the right level. There are more than enough challenges in here for me & my son & there looked to be plenty of experienced climbers there as well. It cost us £34 for the hour which included the instruction & kit (harness & other stuff) but now we can go back whenever we want hire some gear & get on with it. A really good time & wished we could have stayed to practice, you can stay as long as you want after you've been signed off so it's really pretty good value.
