The Cliffs at LIC

Natural rock faces are few and far between here in NYC, but that can’t stop kids from learning the ins and outs of climbing right here in town. Before scampering up the bright, colorful walls, instructors familiarize the children with the gear needed—like ropes and harnesses—and give them tips for getting to new heights. Experienced climbers can take the intermediate course, which delves deeper in climbing techniques and how to build strength. A six-week club also comes with
 a membership that includes free equipment rentals and one guest pass for return visits with friends and family. Ages 6–9.
