We’re excited to announce that Zenith Climbing Center is moving to a brand-new location!
We know this is a massive change for our members, but we promise it’s going to be worth it.
Please read our FAQs below and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. We are working hard to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Please follow us on Instagram & Facebook for the most up-to-date announcements.
Important Dates & Details:
Last day at current location: November 20, 2026
New facility open date: March 2027 (we think)
New address: 5601 S. Robberson Ave., Springfield, MO
There will be a temporary closure between locations while we get everything ready. We appreciate your patience and support during this exciting transition!
What about memberships?
During the closure, members will have the option to keep their memberships active as a way to support Zenith during the transition but must OPT-IN to do so. We’ll be offering outdoor climbing clinics, social events, yoga, and other activities to keep everyone connected and make the most of the downtime. We are calling our rogue Zenithians and our closure programming “Zenith Nomads.”
We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home and share what’s next for Zenith!
