About
The Climbing Station is a bouldering centre in Loughborough run for climbers, by climbers. We know what makes a great indoor-climbing experience and we put 100% into making sure that you'll have an amazing day. We have over 800sqm of bouldering surface, covering almost every angle that you can possibly think of. We also have a top rope wall that can be used by both kids and adults to learn the basics of roped climbing. As we are only a 3 minute drive from the centre of Loughborough, and less than a 10 minute drive from the M1, a large portion of our site is dedicated to secure parking. Bike racks are also available.
Duration: 1-2 hours

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.

Having climbed with my stepson at the Climbing Station for over 6 years we have decided to move elsewhere. The staff frequently can be rude and unhelpful, something we have laughed about as a family over the years. Sadly the business simply hasn’t moved with the times and there are now far better walls in the area with more customer focus. The days of climbing walls treating customers as an unfortunate burden are way gone, something the Climbing Station doesn’t seem to have grasped. The Climbing Station is like a rude old relative you have to see at Christmas - a relic from a past era.

Great indoor climbing centre run by real enthusiasts. There is a range of bouldering routes for all levels which are regularly reset. Training for youngsters is peerless with sessions throughout the week. Drinks and cake in normal times. Sensible precautions for COVID19. Recommended.

Discovered this indoor climbing wall last year and now love going. Go regularly now and enjoy the overall atmosphere and feel its a friendly place to go. Good facilities and good size. Has a good range of different levels and also a belay wall to give a go. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would recommend this place and they also have a small shop area too. Good sized car park and if thats full theres plenty of on street parking near by that you wont have trouble with or bother anyone. This is now my go to climbing wall. Also handy it being not too far from Go outdoors too. However if you need any new kit they do sell shoes inside the little shop too.

Great fun with lots of variation in problems, regular competitions and a wide array of problems for all skill levels. Fairly priced, with a small cafe to chill in for a break

Went for the first time today with my almost 5 year old - he’d shown an interest clambering over rocks in Dartmoor over the bank holiday and thought the ‘little monkeys’ children’s session was worth exploring.
Was good value for a tenner. Some organised tasks set, starting off with some traversing on a training wall. Was a nice balance between challenging and achievable. My son left feeling quite pleased with himself.
Staff helpful, engaged with the kids and got them motivated. Would recommend and will be going again.
Nice coffee also!

Frequently updated problems on some really interesting wall designs. Enough climbing for there to be something for everyone regardless of your level or how busy it is. Recommended

A large and varied bouldering wall with very helpful staff. The systems board is also very good. I would particularly recommend the bouldering induction for new climbers.
There is a small top rope wall and a training/warm up traversal area. These are more limited than the other facilities, the main focus here being bouldering.
There is a cafe, and a shop with a small selection of climbing shoes and clothes. Plenty of on sight parking.

Hiya, in terms of children, how old do they have to be before they are allowed to climb? I am a member but am looking to bring my sister and my niece and nephew. How would that work? Thanks, Lisa.
