Never bouldered before? No problem! You don't need any experience or a climbing partner. We'll explain everything to you at the front desk and you can get started right away. Would you prefer a bit more guidance? Then you can also get a Boulder Intro. This is also possible if you want to climb with a group or family.

During your first visit to Boulderstation, we ask you to register at our reception. You must also agree to our GDPR and terms and conditions.

Important: Are you under 18? Then we first need permission from your parent(s) or guardian. We can easily arrange this via email.

Tips for your first time bouldering:

Be sure to read the house rules.​

Be sure to also read the rules for safe and responsible bouldering.

Wear comfortable sportswear.

Climbing shoes are mandatory (you can rent them from us).

Please note that we don't accept cash. Payments can be made by debit or credit card.

No, just come by during our opening hours. Only classes or lessons need to be booked in advance. 

For adults, there are weekly Mobility, Strength & Conditioning, and Climb with Coach classes available. With a Boulder & Training subscription, you can participate in these classes unlimitedly. In addition to taking lessons, you can also go bouldering as often as you like with this subscription. See all prices and subscriptions here.

Through the booking system, you determine each week which classes you will attend. You can also try it out with a one-month Boulder & Training pass, or join a one-off (trial) lesson for just €5 (plus entry fees).

Our junior lessons are offered in different age groups (see the timetable here). Children can first take 2 trial lessons with us. For this, we have a special drop-in lesson on Wednesday afternoons. During this lesson, attention is also given to the (safety) rules. After that (or if a child is already familiar with bouldering and the rules), they can join a regular lesson. Registration for a trial lesson can be done via email.

During the lessons, children can participate from the age of 5. The minimum age to go bouldering is 6 years, and until the age of 12, this must always be under the supervision of an adult.

Even if you already have experience with climbing, we ask you to register at Boulderstation through our online membership administration system.

By registering, you agree to our house rules, safety instructions, and terms and conditions.

After your registration, you will receive a confirmation by email. Good to know: this registration is only required once. 
Once you are registered, you do not need to do this again the next times.

The minimum age for bouldering at Boulderstation is 6 years. This limit is in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all climbers.

• Children under the age of 12 may only boulder under the supervision of an adult.
• From the age of 12, children are allowed to climb independently, provided they adhere to the safety rules.

Does your child want to join a lesson? They can start from the age of 5 with our special bouldering lessons for children.

Your access entitles you to one climbing session, and within that session, you can decide how long you stay. So feel free to take your time to challenge yourself, take breaks, and have fun.

If you have booked an Intro Lesson, you're free to stay and keep climbing at your own pace after the lesson is over. 

We advise you to wear comfortable (sports) clothing that does not restrict movement. If you are afraid of scrapes from the rough climbing wall, wear long trousers. Wearing climbing shoes is mandatory. You can rent and buy shoes from us as well. Climbing without a shirt is not allowed.

In our hall, wearing climbing shoes is mandatory for your own safety and to protect the climbing walls. Don't have your own climbing shoes yet? No problem! You can rent shoes from us. See our price list here.
