My toddler loved it! There is a special section for little ones with a tree swing, 4 foot warp wall, slife, and mini obstacle course. In the main area, there are all kinds of training obstacles just like the show American Ninja Warrior. If you're new to Ninja, the staff is incredibly helpful and will coach you through the obstacles. If you're a pro, the course offers plenty to entertain and challenge you.This is a great and unique addition to the Cedar Valley.

Our kids aged 12 to 1 all had a great time. There is a small part for the younger ones to enjoy while the rest of the gym is enjoyable for the older ones!

This place is amazing! The employees are super friendly and will help you conquer tough obstacles. There is something for people of all skill levels. You can learn the basics but the strong ninjas will still be tested. Ninja U is a very positive place filled with fun. It’s not possible to come here and regret it

Fun and clean. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and paid close attention to the safety of the ninjas. My kids were challenged by the corse and are begging us to come back. All around good experience and unique way to get a great workout for parents and kids.

The atmosphere and employees are wonderful here! Positive, super nice, and helpful employees and I was very impressed! My kids had the best time here! Obstacles for any ages! It is priceless to see the kids smile when they tackle the obstacles or the mighty wall!!!

I don't post many reviews, but I had to comment on my experience at Ninja U. My family took a group of 6 kids ranging in age from 2 to 11 to open gym at Ninja U for part of a birthday celebration. Every one of them had a blast, and we played for almost 3 hours!There is a really nice variety of apparatus, to support various strength and skill levels... so kids of pretty much any age can find plenty to do, and adults won't get bored either! The staff are really friendly, great with kids, and are very familiar with all the equipment - and they have the fitness level to demonstrate everything, too. But don't be fooled... the staff may be able to make some of the obstacles look easy, but unless you're in better shape than I am, many are incredibly tough. Despite that, most are approachable enough to at least attempt, and I had a lot of fun even on the obstacles I totally failed (like the wingnuts). I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, though!If you would rather not get in on the ninja action, there is a nice seating area right near the front desk. It's comfortable, and you can see the whole gym floor (great for keeping an eye on kids).When we were there, there weren't very many other visitors, so it was easy to try pretty much anything at any time - but I think there is plenty of equipment to accommodate a pretty sizable group.

This is an awesome and fun place! I took my daughter who is a toddler and she had so much fun. She loved the toddler area, climbed on the mats, loved the slide, loved the ropes, there was so much for her to do. I cannot recommend this place enough for kids & adults of all ages. The staff is super friendly and knowledgable also! Highly recommend it!

My two young kids love this place. We spent two hours here last Saturday. The two staff members were very kind and helpful. One of them in particular was interacting a lot with my 3 year old and having fun with him. That's not an experience we can get everywhere. Thanks for having a cool place for all ages to train and play. Most importantly, thanks for providing good customer service.

Awesome place! The staff was friendly and super knowledgeable. Great stuff for adults to kids. They had a great variety of obstacles to try. The prices are perfect, 12 dollars for 90 minutes. Really can't beat it.

Had a 1st grade school field trip here! The kids loved it. Tons of challenging obstacles. Trainers/staff were very friendly, helpful with navigating the kids thu the course and giving tips to succeed. Price is very reasonable. If you want to challenge yourself this is the place to be!!!
