Go to an Indoor Rock-Climbing Gym
For great exercise and tons of fun on a rainy day, try a rock-climbing gym. The Delaware Rock Gym offers both roped climbing and bouldering. For inexperienced climbers, reserve a Trial Climb with an experienced staff member. All ages are welcome to climb, and the gym does have children’s harnesses, although those over the age of five or six will likely have the best time. Those 14 and older can take the intro course and fully immerse themselves in the fun of climbing and belaying.
