What is Sender City?
Sender City is an interactive climbing center for kids and adults of all ages. Climb buildings and towers at this fun center located inside Sender One LAX in Los Angeles. Our auto-belay devices automatically retract a cable attached to climbers while controlling the speed at a comfortable pace when descending a climb or activity.
Here's what to expect:
Step 1
Meet and greet our staff members to check-in for your session and to receive a wristband.
Step 2
Staff will assist you with your helmet and harness after viewing a quick orientation video.
Step 3
Climbers ages 10 and older will be taught how to properly clip in and out of the auto-belays.
Step 4
Let the fun begin! Scale towers, reach new heights, and have an adventure!

Testimonials
"...my children were able to try something new and conquer some of their fears of heights."
See what people are saying about their Sender City experience!
What I LOVE about our experience at Sender City, was that my children were able to try something new and conquer some of their fears of heights. You would never guess that they were afraid to climb up the walls when they first arrived. By the end of their session, they were climbing all the way to the top of the obstacles. I was not only amazed but proud of my boys for accomplishing this feat.
I just wanted to go again and again. We explored the entire area which included cool pillars to climb, various climbing walls, even a structure with a high platform on top in which you can jump off to a trapeze swing or a swinging punching bag thing. It was one of those experiences I will always remember and Emma loved every minute. It was really cool to get to do something like this with her.
