The Route 1 corridor has a lot of great activities for kids from art classes at Art Works Now, to skating lessons at Herbert Wells Ice Rink, to dance instruction at Joe’s Movement Emporium and more, but the biggest thrill might be just up the road at the ClimbZone in Laurel.

Located off of Route 1 a few minutes north of Ikea in College Park, the family-oriented indoor climbing center has 70 options for everyone from beginners to skilled climbers.

To add to the fun, each wall has a different theme, including King Kong atop the Empire State Building, Big Ben, a rocket ship and a map of the United States. For the younger kids, there’s a bouncy castle and two inflatable slides.

Trained staffers help each climber secure their harness, so safety is paramount, and every wall comes with a hydraulic belay system that allows you to slowly descend when you’re done on a particular wall.

ClimbZone is popular with both boys and girls — it’s fairly typical to see young girls there with shirts that say things like “Girls Can Do Anything.” Birthday parties are also popular, with pizza delivery for the food option.

Adults and kids under the age of six are $25 for three hours, preschoolers are $12 and kids under two are free.

The climbing center is also just around the corner from Dinosaur Park, a county-run outdoor fossil site with guided tours.
