So much fun!! For adults & kids! Great workout and so many different things to try.Staff wore masks and kept distance. Hand sanitizer stations all around the place. Felt very safe and will definitely go back.

A great indoor climbing gym. Highly recommend this as a place to run around and expend lots of energy. They have obstacles for kids from 5 to adults. The Zen Room is an adults only space with couches. Bring a book and relax while your kids run around. Only negatives were the price ($25 for 90 min) and the inefficient check-in process that had several seemingly confused staff coming and going but might have just been a bad afternoon.

I purchased a gift card for my friend’s children. They videotaped their experience. They informed me that they had fun and can’t wait to return. They appeared to be having a lot of fun & took advantage of challenging obstacles. The facility also appeared neat and clean with uplifting colors. I thought that Ninjabe was just for kids, but they have many challenges that adults would love. It’s also a great place for team building events. Social distancing is definitely possible in this facility.

Had a really great time! I spent a lot of time on the warped wall, and the employees helped me strategize and improve my form. Fun for the whole family.

This is an incredible experience! I brought my 8 year old son and did it with him. Seems likeMost of the parents just stand and watch but I joined and we had an amazing time. A lot of the obstacles were hard to do but it was fun trying to do them. The time goes by so fast. We did a hour and honestly it wasn’t enough time. By the time you attempt something or by waiting to do something you have wasted mostIf that time. I would do a longer time next time. My son was able to do a lot more than me. We will be back!

The website claimed that they are following CDC guidelines related to preventing the spread of Covid so we paid and checked in. Only then did we see a sign saying that face masks were optional. Most people we not wearing them and there was no enforcement of physical distancing. Little kids put balls in their mouths then threw them. Everyone was running, screaming, panting, and I saw little or no care. Wont be going back again.

I will only give 5 stars if its really warranted. And today it was totally warranted. This place is so much fun. Way better then your usual trampoline gym. They have obstacles that will challenge you but will is still fun and engaging. They have things for everyone and every age. The dual bull riding is fun! But most importantly the staff was absolutely amazing!! All of them. But especially Seth. They took time to show you all the obstacles and how to achieve your goals of conquering them. And then they cheer you on and want to see you succeed as much as you want to. I cant say enough about this place. We came from PA to MD specifically to try this place. We glad we did. And we will be back soon!!!

Best place in town for a true American Ninja Warrior experience. They have it all and then some! The kids have a fantastic time everytime we go and the staff is friendly. A couple of times a few of the pieces of equipment werent available for use, but it had no impact on the fun-meter. This place definitely gets 5☆ from me!

Awesome substitute to the same ole trampoline jump type places. This enforced physical endurance and ability instead of just jumping around. They even have a chill room for parents to lay down or relax. Let the kids roam and try the ninja type warrior activities.

Kids and I had a great time here. Very much like American Ninja Warrior. Friendly helpful staff. You have the option for 60, 90, or 120 minutes and you can reserve your session online. I had no problem getting last minute session on a Saturday. I recommend the 90 or 120 minute session because time flies and its not much more expensive.

Review №22

Went as an adult with adult friends for a work out during the middle of the day. Plenty of kids around but they didnt get in the way and they werent attempting the more rigorous elements. Would probably go back during the adults only hours. Minimal staff around to operate motorized treadmill (The Adrenalator) and had to search them out to get it turned on.

Review №25

We did a staff event here and had an absolute blast! There are tons of different elements to try, which means there is virtually something for everyone. Whether you want to try the rock wall, trampolines, a mechanical bull, or a ninja warrior course, theres a good chance youll find something you enjoy here.The only thing I will say, is that it is easy to get tired fast (especially on the trampolines!) You get tired more quickly than you imagine you would. So Id recommend buying a short amount of time and adding more time later if you arent tired.

Way more fun than those trampoline places. The obstacles are very challenging. My kids love all the obstacles. I went HAM on some climbing obstacles and hurt my shoulder. But I out did some college youngsters, so totally worth the injury. LOL!

Great obstacles but mediocre service. The cashier was slow and then abandoned her post with no warning when we were next in line. The manager seemed surprised but didnt jump over to help. Facility was crowded and some equipment was not configured in a way that makes sense.

Came for the first time last night with my two children and my nephew. We had fun, however there wasnt much my son who is 43 to do and my nephew found a pocket knife in the slide (toxic crush) that my son was playing on the entire time. Please check your equipment more frequently, what if he would have found that?!!

Awesome experience. We went there for a birth party. Everyone was very friendly. The kids had a blast so did the parents. I enjoyed their quiet lounge while waited for the kids to finished their obstacle course. Super fun.

J
Review №32

Definitely a lot of fun, but worth investing some time in the gym on bodyweight upper body strength before you go. Also, a pair of heavy duty gloves may save your hands from rope burn should you slip down the rope but your hands still try to grip. Less fun to burn your hands and try to continue the night, so find some protection.

This has everything that your inner child could ever want. there are all kinds of America Ninja Warrior style obstacle courses from intermediate to Advanced. You have all kinds of different climbing wall options, and even a bucking bronco that will entertain you for hours. This is a great place to host a birthday party. They do have rooms for party members. Make sure that you sign your waiver ahead of time. They do require a special type of grip sock to be warned that they sell here.

Had my daughters 6th birthday party here. It was a HUGE hit. The staff made everything super easy, all we had to do was show up and have fun. 6 years olds cant do everything they have, but they can do or try most things. Will be back both for my daughter to have fun here, but also my wife and I!

Review №47

Very poor experience. We did a group kids ninja class through parks and rec, which was $20 a class (the same price as all-day admission free-play). They didnt actually instruct or teach anything. They stretched for forever, followed by jumping off of a small block (skip 2 stairs on your stairwell and youre good to go for free) and that was it. The kids were not allowed to free play or even use any of the equipment, they had to sit and listen to these instructors (kids) who just kept telling them to sit down or stand in line. The staff didnt know how to work with children and it felt like the biggest waste of money ever. Afterwards, naturally, the kids actually wanted to explore the equipment. The staff chased us down and the manager with the dread-locks actually came up to me and asked me if I had paid yet! Meaning pay $20 again when we had already paid admission. This was so unprofessional, inappropriate, and and ridiculous. We will never go back. Hyperkidz is the definitely the place to go for your kids. Sadly, ninjabe is not.

Review №48

I did a birthday party for my 6 yr old. The kids had fun and enjoyed themselves. But many areas need scope of improvement. The party coordinator - you are lucky if you get a good, energetic and helpful one. Else you are left on your own. It’s a big noisy place and keeping track of the kids is not easy with no security in place. The obstacles are for varied age group so if kids are not able to do something, they get frustated. A little help and guidance y coordinator can go a long way in keeping kids motivated ( after our party I saw some coordinators helping kids when it was probably less crowded closer to closing, I would have expected the same from our dedicated party coordinator). There is no one to intervene if some older kids are misbehaving and hurting others. They can run out of basic supplies for the party celebration.Overall, this place is learning based on experience of each party and will take more time to be mature and organized.

Such an Awesome concept! After our 1st tour, it was an easy choice to schedule our granddaughters birthday party at NinjaBe. Large, comfortable party room with ample dining-friendly seating. Food was tasty and filling. Selection of fun, physical activity stations seems well thought out. The bull ride was a BIG hit! The kids and parents had great fun!

The only thing wing with this place is that it is not closer to home. It was awesome. The price was extremely fair for the tone we got there. There were enough options to really wear a person out without repeating things. The staff were all so friendly and helpful.

Review №55

Nice place, fun time but they could use better safety measures in place. The place is awesome but a lawsuit waiting to happen. Metal bars not covered in padding, warped walls near metal benches.. Could be dangerous to kids if not supervised and the staff isn’t always around like they should be. Other than that it was fun.

To start online hours posted stated 11, arrived at 1150. Was told to come back at noon. No big deal. We did that. Took the steps to completed the waivers well in advance. Then returned and was swamped in line. Only to arrive to the front and told only accepting reservations, when the person in front of me was not a “reservation” and was made and exception. Terrible customer service, no indications of reservations only. Will never return. Beware. Highly recommend going to Launch is across the street. Viewable from This place. In addition we are looking at numerous potential customers “lost” from this Ninja place that were in line with us coming to launch as they are experiencing the same nonsense we experienced.

Review №68

I am writing this review as an adult who was interested in checking out the facility for an evening. I arrived, hesitant, wondering if I would be surrounded by only kids... and I was, for half of the time. There were several kids classes happening throughout all of the courses, so the staff asked us to immediately get off the course to make way for the class. This happened multiple times, and it was very frustrating as we were in the middle of a course and had to stop and leave. The facility looked small, but each course was actually fairly challenging. I think they should even include a beginners course with even more basic activities. The last 45 minutes it was empty inside so the staff was more attentive to us and there was more freedom to complete courses. They even have trampolines for a fun dodgeball game. If you are an adult, I would recommend going during the last hour. Its definitely a good workout and a lot of fun.

My son has done a camp and had a birthday party at ninjabe. He had a blast both times. Ninja be was pretty accommodating about allowing guests to bring siblings and just pay for them separately. The birthday party was a little confusing in the beginning. The place was super crowded and it wasn’t clear who was in charge of our group and it took a few extra minutes to get started. Overall everything went smoothly, though, and all the kids had so much fun.

Great Facility for the price! There are plenty of obstacles to have you winded within the first 30 mins if youre an adult. The kids seem to have endless amounts of energy in this place. It is especially nice that there is an adult hideaway of sorts called the Zen room, and no kids are allowed in there! Overall great use of space and will definitely be returning.

Review №80

Definitely recommend this place! For the “Ninja Warrior” theme it absolutely killed it. There’s two ninja warrior sections, sasuke and shinobi. Sasuke is like the actual American Ninja Warrior, and shinobi is more kid friendly but still has challenging and fun obstacles. For people who like trampoline dodgeball, there’s also a section for that. And don’t forget about NinjaTrek! It’s like an inflatable bouncy obstacle race. Personally, I think the experience is even better when you’re in a camp/class. They arevery fun and the teachers/staff are funny and helpful. Overall, this place is awesome

The ropes and obstacle courses (think America Ninja Warrior esque) were really challenging, but it was fun. The kids couldnt finish per se, but they had a great time.

Review №85

Went with a group of 3 adults. Great setup and equipment. The staff however was very unhelpful and organization is awful. Upon walking in the doors you are prompted to get in line just to get to the front to be told you have to sign a waiver and then get back in like. There was only one staff member in the padded corse who was leaning against the wall the entire time. Kids were all over the equipment and under it playing on the mats which made it difficult to do anything without running the risk of falling on a kid. No lines or rules were implemented so people were going forwards and backwards on the corse which staff didn’t seem to mind. Very cool setup but defiantly needs more organization and safety measures before someone gets seriously injured.

Review №86

My daughter came here the first time with her karate school and just had such an amazing time that immediately asked for her birthday party to be here. The birthday party packages seemed really expensive to me, especially with everything that comes with it (not much)so I already knew I couldnt afford it. But her dad ended up paying for it and it actually worked out ok in the end and she and her friends had a great time. We will definitely be back to play here again, there were a lot of different things to do and she actually enjoyed exercising and playing around!

Review №89

Came here on Saturday for my child to attend a friends birthday party. It was our first experience at NinjaBe, and they didnt make a very good first impression. I arrived at least five minutes prior to the start time of the party (the party had approximately 10 kids), and it took us TWENTY MINUTES to check in. Why? Because the guy working the desk to check in was slower than a sloth in molasses and smelled like pot. You know that scene in Zootopia with the sloth at the DMV? Yeah, picture that, and then add the odor or marijuana. There were several of us trying to check in for the party and he was so slow. Instead of just making an announcement that everyone needed to sign a waiver and if you hadnt, to go do it, he made us each wait till it was our turn to tell us. So, there were SIX tablets to fill out these waivers on... how many were actually working?? TWO. Not acceptable. Especially with a group of us trying to check in (as well as others who were just there to play, not a part of the birthday party). Once I got my waiver finally filled out, went back and had to stand in line again for the slothy-pot guy, who then made me go somewhere else to put the gift down before he gave my child the socks and the headband, and wristband. He handed us all this stuff just in time for me to see that my child was not included in the group picture that was taken at the party by the NinjaBe employee and the parents in the group. I arrived in plenty of time and the check-in process should have not taken anywhere near that long. I am disappointed that my child missed out on being in the group party picture because of the ridiculous check-in process and employees. Once we got past that and my kid got to get in and play, it was pretty cool. However, the employees supervising in the obstacle-area were few and far between. A bunch of kids wanted to ride the giant black bag across the course, and there was no one there to pull the rope to bring the bag back. The kids were little and couldnt do it themselves. So I had to jump up from the outside and have one of the kids push the rope to me so I could pull it back for them.Over and over and over. Was I paid for that? No. Is it someone elses job (who gets paid to do that)? Yes. Someone showed up to do their job with that once or twice the whole two hours we were there. The icing on the cake, no pun intended, was witnesses the NinjaBe employee who was assigned to our party, ask the Mother of the Birthday Boy, if he could have a piece of the cake he was cutting up and serving. There was plenty of cake, and she told him yes, but that is extremely unprofessional. Thats like going to a restaurant and having a meal prepared for you and the chef asking if he/she can have some of it. Although the place itself is pretty cool, the issues might just outweigh the cool factor. Weve never had any issues at SkyZone, so well just continue to go there.

Great place! We didnt do the party package, so cant speak to the birthday party process. 3 things: 1) wish there were more obstacles for 6-7-yr olds with smaller sized equipment; 2) the Ipad/tablets you complete the waiver on are slow and not touch sensitive; 3) the bouncy house needs an age requirement-- some little kids caused a bottle neck because they couldnt climb up the walls to get to the next level.
