Golden Gecko Climbing Ltd

Really enjoyed a family climbing trip here. Our elder two spent most of their time on the auto belays and our youngest bouldered. Friendly and helpful staff!

My favourite climbing centre in the Southampton area!New and interesting routes every week with something for everyone. Best priced membership and single sessions. The staff are always willing to help out and give guidance when needed. And most importantly, the most welcoming and fun climbing community around - shout out to the Wednesday social climbing crew! ❤️

Had an amazing afternoon at golden gecko!I highly recommend for all children. Such a cool place, I wish we had one closer. But it's 100% worth the 2 hour drive and we will be definitely be back soon!My son thoroughly enjoyed himself for the whole session. A massive thanks to Sarah for helping him build his confidence and treasure hunting (And for getting him to listen!)Really inexpensive cafe with lots to choose from. Toilets are clean and checked regularly. Just a really wonderful place. Thanks again guys!

I completed the Rope Induction at Golden Gecko a couple of weeks ago. The course was great! I really enjoyed it! Andy who is the instructor is very friendly, knowledgeable and has a lot of climbing experience. After completing this course I feel confident using the ropes and belaying in a climbing gym. There were people with different levels of experience in the group from novices to people who regularly use auto-belays and we all had a great time. The place itself is very well equipped and it has a lot of auto-belays, walls for rope climbing and bouldering. The staff are very helpful and always available if you need help or advice on climbing. There is also a cafe with hot drinks and food (with vegan options). I highly recommend Golden Gecko and the Rope Induction course!

Great place, visited at 7 pm on a weekday and even with Covid restrictions there was always a wall to climb.Staff were very friendly and gave helpful tips. They even give you special climbing shoes for free (whilst you're there), which really make a difference compared to normal trainers. There are straight walls and also ones with weird shapes and overhangs. There are also various difficulties available from really easy to incredibly hard.Don't be afraid of getting judged if you've never climbed before, the staff are amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxed.There's a waiting area for people who don't want to climb and even a café. However, it does get quite chilly so make sure to bring a coat of you're there during the evening or winter.

Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were being welcomed into their home. There were a great range of climbs and boulder problems to keep us entertained and challenged. I love that they have so many autobelays, it means you can climb alongside friends and means if you're down a belay partner you've still got plenty to climb. Thoroughly recommend the centre to anyone; and they serve great food and drinks in the cafe

We had my son’s 7th birthday here and it was a fantastic experience throughout. Booking process was very simple, staff were all exceptionally professional and really engaging with the kids during the activities. The food was spot on for the little ones (they provided bags to take any leftovers home) and we had access to the private room from the start of the booking. The kids and grown ups had a great time and I thought it was really good value for money. Only slight flag is the size of the party room - we had 12 kids and 4 adults in there, which felt pretty full. Highly recommended and a big thank you to the team.

What a great place, very relaxed and Tom was great with my son - he could see straight away how to approach the session and had him confidently going to the top of a wall within half an hour of starting his first ever lesson!

My son chose this place for his birthday party. The children were very well taken care of, the staff very helpful and polite. The lady who served the food was very helpful! Nobody rushed us, everything was ready for our arrival. I highly recommend this place for birthday parties and more.

Geoff is awesome, its wonderful to meet someone so enthusiastic. The climbs are great too
