A Climbing gym is a community built around the love of climbing, and that love brings together people from different ages, professions, and walks of life.
The biggest age group nowadays is the Millennials.
Globally they are now more in numbers than any other generation, including the Baby Boomers. Currently, they are in their time of young adulthood, and many of them have families and kids. So now, they are the ones raising the yet-to-be-named future generation.
Millennials are parents who are busier yet spend more time with their children than parents did in the 1950s. They value togetherness, though not always at mealtime.
The traditional 6:00 family dinner is becoming increasingly harder to pull off, and for many families, the weekends have become the time for being together.
Spending quality time with their children may be the most critical thing parents can do to ensure their healthy emotional development and growth. Time spent together means opportunities for parents to teach, children to learn, and the whole family to strengthen a loving, nurturing relationship.
What else is essential to Millennial parents?
We live in the times of the health craze to raise kids who are fitter, healthier, and environmentally conscious. So Millennials seek activities that challenge their kids’ minds and bodies, encourage team play, overcoming fear, and positive competitiveness, and are socially engaged and entertaining.
Waltopia, the world leader of the Climbing and Active entertainment industry, understands all that and, knowing the benefits of climbing for kids and adults better than anyone else, introduces new ideas for kids climbing zones for climbing gyms. These ideas will certainly bring more young adults to the gym since they will combine it with quality parenting time. Climbing is a brilliant way to have all family members spend time together in a healthy activity that simultaneously develops their bodies, minds, and social life.
Check out some great examples of kids climbing zones built by Walltopia
Climb Academy, Sofia, Bulgaria

Last year in Sofia, the company built the first Climb Academy. Located in the same building as the famous Walltopia Climbing Center – the biggest climbing gym in Eastern Europe, Climb Academy perfectly complements the parents’ climbing activities and passion. Designed entirely with children in mind, this kid climbing center results from Walltopia’s efforts to provide more opportunities for intensive physical activity in a safe environment for those aged 3 to 11 years.
Walltopia entrusted the training programs to coaches with years of experience with kids. Each program is tailored to the age and individual abilities of the children. The task was to find the balance between technique, difficulty, and speed.
Climb Academy is a bright and cozy climbing hall with a combination of natural and vivid colors that children like. It appeals to their senses in every possible way.

Totem Escalade compares climbing walls for kids to a giant puzzle waiting to be solved. Climbing teaches flexibility, coordination and strength, but it is as much a mental activity as it is a physical one that also requires patience, constant focus, and the ability to analyze problems to find the sequence that allows you to get to the top of the wall. The climbing gym chain from the land of the superb chocolate has identified the demand for an engaging activity for kids and has offered it to their audience quite successfully.
