NinjaZone Academy
What are the benefits of a membership with NinjaZone? Active kids, fulfilling classes and a parents night out every month {which in our opinion, is worth the cost of membership alone!}. Ninja Sport is a fierce fusion of obstacle course training, gymnastics, martial arts, & freestyle movement, focusing the energy of your children while building their confidence. The NinjaZone Academy locations are the professional training facilities of Ninja Sport for children ages 3-11 – kids come home tired-capital-T from their wonderful Parents Night Out programs. This is definitely a CityMom fave!Locations: Grand Park – Westfield; Geist
