Your Guide to Labor Day in Flagstaff
Labor Day weekend is the biggest weekend Flagstaff has all summer — the county fair, Art in the Park, the Shift bake sale, and cooler mountain air. Here's how to plan it with kids in tow.

Beta Bouldering Gym is Flagstaff's largest full-service bouldering gym, with 80+ routes across a range of difficulty levels and color-coded grading that makes it easy for kids to track their progress. Kids 3 and under climb free, and there's a dedicated kids' area with stairs so little ones can walk back down after reaching the top instead of climbing down. No prior experience is needed — staff will show first-timers the basics, shoes and chalk rent for $5, and there's a foosball table and coloring supplies to keep kids busy between climbs. Every climber needs a signed waiver, so plan to sign for your kids in advance or at the front desk.
Local tip
The second-story mezzanine looks straight down over the kids walls, so one parent can sit with a coffee and still see every climb. Knock the waivers out online before you go.
