We found a great deal on Groupon. When you book on Groupon you can't make a reservation for time a lot so we went over before 11am to get the first time slot. They open at 10am and the 10-11am slot is for tiny tots. You have to buy their socks - they don't like you using socks from other establishments. However on the day we went they gave us socks free because they had limited sizes. They have lockers with a key code and shoe racks. Closed toe shoes are needed for the American ninja warrior side of the park. And socks are needed for the huge trampoline side. The kids had a great time! read more

There are deals on Groupon, so each person came out to be about $12. These deals also did not restrict me to a reservation time and provided me with the socks that the facility requires you to wear. There is a "ninja side" with 3 different sets similar to what you see on American Ninja Warrior. The equipment was sticky, but that should be expected as the many kids and few adults do get quite sweaty while completing the course. There is also an inflatable side, which is a large bouncy house equipped with slides, small obstacle course, ball pits, etc. Pretty fun stuff [: read more

Great place for kids birthday party especially during weekdays when it's empty & you have the place all to yourself. The staff were very nice & accommodating. Great overall experience for kids & adults. Tip: there are Groupon deals you can buy for birthday parties which is a great deal with pizza. read more

What a great concept. Given how popular American Ninja Warrior is, I'm surprised there aren't more places like this. This is a very basic version of the ones featured on TV show, but still quite challenging and provides just enough variety to appeal to the whole family. I mainly bought a ticket for my son but also got to try some of the courses since I purchased a guardian pass. There are two main areas. The inflatable section is good for little kids. It has inflatable slides, and the whole area is basically a huge bouncy room. The main area is composed of more challenging obstacle courses sectioned off by difficulty level. I wish this place would provide some instruction or show a video on how to do some of the courses as I wasn't sure on some of them. There's a cafe and private rooms for large parties, which I assume would require advance reservation and fee. Tickets can be purchased at the facility, or you can purchase in advance on its website. Everyone entering the facility must sign a waiver. It's located on the second floor of Santa Ana Main Place by JC Penney. Parking structure 4 is the closest area to park. read more

It's cheaper to get tickets from Groupon than buying directly from them. I got the 1hour voucher and felt like that was plenty of time. Sign the waiver before you check in tho. During check in, they'll ask if you would like to buy their sock so you can go into the inflatable obstacle course area (it's optional if you buy it, but entrance include both the regular and inflatable course). There's free lockers to use to put your belonging and shoes. The regular course included 5 different course. Start from the left and difficulty increases as you go to the right. This is such a workout, but fun. Some areas are def harder than others. The staff was super friendly and nice and made sure everyone was safe. The inflatable course was a bit on the easier side (it's made for kids). There's climbing stairs, slides, and rock climbing. The bathroom is also pretty clean! read more

We went to the Ninja on New Years today because they had a deal that was too good to pass up: $5 for 60 min. They also have a winter deal running now for $10 for 90 min. There is a parent pass for $3.99 those accompanying kids under 8 but this wasn't available with the special deals. Normal prices are $23.99 for 60 min ($21.99 online) and $29.99 for 90 min ($26.99 online). So definitely always book online first instead of at the park and check for any running promos. Grip socks from Funparx are required for the inflatable for $3.50 per person and they have a lot of sizes to match your shoe size. These socks are different from other grip socks we have because the grip is at the front and very strong. We booked in the morning for a group of 6 and by lunchtime, timeslots from 12-3 were sold out. We were given information on the best /closest place to park. Booking online, we could fill out our waivers first online so that we could be ready for check-in and getting socks as soon as we arrived. There are 3 computers to fill out waivers there if you didn't do so beforehand. The person checking us in was very helpful at explaining things and friendly. There is a long row of free lockers right when you walk in for you to put your purse/wallet/jackets etc. A few of the lockers were not working. Don't put your shoes in there because after you walk in, there are shelves for your shoes by the inflatable section and you can also leave your water bottle there for easy access while playing. Since my son almost 4 years old, I was wondering how much of the courses he could do. It was very pleasantly surprised. As long as there is an adult with him, he could do all of the inflatable area. And he can even go through the ninja warrior area with a parent to lift him through. There isn't anything too dangerous for young ones even though they're on the same course as everyone. The ninja course area is 5 different courses parallel with each other. Other people there was good about waiting in line and waiting for others to pass through if they needed more time. We all had such a blast! Within 15 minutes we were all soaked in sweat. It really is fun for all ages - whether you are just bouncing around on the inflatable or trying to get through a certain section of the course. There isn't much air circulation / airflow there so it's very hot and stuffy. Hopefully that could be improved. There was one section of the course that wasn't working but it was clearly marked. Also when booking online, it says there will be a safety briefing 3-5 minutes before the start of the session but we didn't get one or see where it is. There wasn't a person to check our wristbands upon entering or at the end of your time because there is a long wait at the check-in area. It does require some time to check-in with multiple large groups in front of you so give yourself plenty of time by arriving early before your timeslot. I would love to go again next time using the parent pass (2 max per family)! read more

Funparx - Free locker - Indoor Playcenter Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I visited FunParx (American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park) with a group of adult friends this weekend. Let's just say we had a blast!! We ordered our tickets on Groupon which offered about a $10 discount (score!) and in store we had to buy grip socks for $3 (if you bring your own you do not have to buy). Beware, though this is an "all ages" park there were a lot of children. There are 2 types of courses at FunParx. The solid courses (like the American Ninja Warrior show) and an inflatable, bouncy castle type course. The courses were so much fun and whew I realized I am out of shape. We enjoyed both but our group voted that their favorite was the inflatable course which had lanes for racing. Downsides: A few courses were designed for children and were too small for adults. A few of the handheld obstacles were a little bit greasy and we wished there was a more frequent cleaning schedule on commonly touched surfaces. Overall 7/10! If you're looking to act like a big kid and have a fun time I definitely recommend FunParx. I have a video of me on the course on Tiktok (@priyapinkypromise) if you would like to see the course in adult action! read more

I'm not sure how to rate this place. I love it and I don't. We bought a few groupon here, love how easy it was to use. You come in, read a few lines, sign a waiver, look at a screen for details and go and have fun. They do require you to pay $3.50 for socks to use the balloon bounce section. This is don't love. It was a grippy bottom to use inside the bounce house. Even that bounce side was a little difficult for an oldie like me. Now for the ninja side, its not that big. It's got a few obstacles that's exactly like the actual ninja warrior course. This i love. But you'll have to share the course because on the weekends, kids birthday parties are a plenty. This i don't love. There's two warped walls here, one easy. One almost impossible. But don't expect a running start here because again the lack of space here. It was fun, so a great alternative for family to get together. Now what am I going to do with these socks? read more

We recently celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday at FunParx, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! The kids had a blast--especially on the obstacle courses and the inflatables. It was the perfect balance of safe, high-energy fun that kept everyone entertained the entire time. The communication with the FunParx staff was excellent, both before and during the party. Booking was incredibly easy and the whole process felt smooth and organized. I really appreciated being able to use the push cart to transport all of our things to and from the car--it made setup and cleanup so much easier. They even stored our cake in the fridge for us, which was a huge help. The staff deserve a special shout-out for being so friendly, patient, and professional. They were always nearby, ready to assist and offer support whenever needed. Alyssa was amazing--so kind and helpful in planning the party and answering all my questions. She went above and beyond by surprising my daughter with the sweetest capybara plush to match her party theme. It truly made my daughter's day even more special. Joy was also fantastic! She helped serve the guests, played games with the kids, and even handed out coupons at the end of the party for their next visit. FunParx's flexibility, accommodations, and attention to detail made the whole experience less stressful and enjoyable. The cost was a great value for what we received. We left feeling so grateful and impressed. Overall, it was a fantastic celebration with exceptional customer service and memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend! read more

Met up with a friend and our kiddos (ages 9-15) to run around together at. located at the mall 2nd floor, be prepared to have appropriate footwear (no crocs - they're big sticklers), free lockers to use while you're jumping in the huge bounce house area and exploring the ninja courses. some of the courses were broken and on a weekend morning it was definitely crowded, food area was overpriced, and it felt a bit un-clean but the groupon deal was reasonable read more

The new fit out is FUNTASTIC!!! 2 kids did not want to leave! Mega new inflatable park! Slides, ball pools, drop towers, soccer pitch, gladiator battle zone, floor is lava ninja is just AWESOME!!! read more

Finding the place was a challenge. Best place to park is JC Penny and head into the main entrance and go upstairs and walk a little until you find it. It's basically around the corner. I had a really great time here. It's a great place for both children and adults to enjoy. Be sure to bring athletic shoes and grip socks! Though, I think you have to buy their company socks. More specifically for those participating. Some of the courses require shoes and other parts are socks only. The place is well watched (for the lack of better words) by employees to be sure people are following the rules and not getting hurt. That's good for those with kids running around without adult supervision. Adults are required to go in the jumping area if children are small though. The little details were a little taxing since many of us didn't bring grip socks or athletic shoes. But we had a really good time overall. Would come back. read more

This was a really fun experience to do with a group of friends or for a date! I'm 5'3 and felt like some of the portions of the course was hard to do since I wasn't tall enough. But nonetheless it was still fun! We booked a 1 hour time slot and finished within an 45 min. We arrived before the 7pm slot, which is the last slot before closing! read more

We just had my daughter's 7th birthday here. Our party of 13 + parents had such a blast! I'm so surprised not more people know about this place. The play area was clean. The obstacle courses were challenging but not too challenging you would feel like you would get hurt. The jump area, the littles had so much fun in. We would like to thank all the staff especially Shayla who was our host. She provided everything we needed, helped pass out pizza and drinks and was so kind settings up and putting things away. We will be back and our friends want their birthdays here too! read more

Jason and Alejandro made my group party experience extremely fun and welcoming. Appreciate these two for helping our group out a lot. This place is awesome and run by amazing people. Would definitely recommend to come here. Thanks! read more

What a fun day with our nephews! They loved the Ninja Adventure Park. It was pretty empty when we went so they had free rein of the obstacles. So much fun! The only reason I gave four stars is that there are large boxes everywhere that felt like a bit of a hazard. read more

Funparx - Challenging - Indoor Playcenter Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Went to purchase some tickets at the front and had a hard time figuring out pricing, a lovely young lady - who told me her name was Caroline - helped me out and was very accommodating to my family! read more

Super fun activity for kids and adults! At first I felt a bit uncomfortable because there were a lot of kids. But after a while you learn that you are all there to have fun and to try something new. They had quite a number of children there but the obstacles vary by difficulty. They had some workers on the floor to provide support or to cheer us on. These courses were no joke! I posted videos to show how difficult they could be. They offered a one or two hour option but honestly one hour is enough! You are doing a lot of physical activity so you will sweat and get tired! I think we were on the active floor for about 35 minutes. They have about 5 obstacle courses at different levels. I was able to complete the first one but the last one was super challenging and I could not complete it. They also had a large bounce house with slides and obstacles where you had to climb.  There was a sign in the front that said it is cheaper online but I could not find an individual ticket or for a party of two. If you look online they offer memberships or party packages only.  In person I purchased the one hour for 2 people + grip socks which cost a total $46.96. I highly recommend bringing water and taking breaks when you need them and to stretch! They play a quick tutorial video before you start so you know the dos and don't. They have a lot of lockers available for free to store your items and if you don't know how to use them you can ask the workers there.  It is located in Mainplace Mall on the side near Macy's where parking is free. I took my little cousin to try it out and we would like to take friends/ family there too! It is a great place to celebrate a birthday with their large seating area or to do a physical activity. read more

Fun for kids and adults alike!!! We came in on a Sunday afternoon, and it felt like equal parts adults and kids using the courses. Definitely more kids in the "bouncy" obstacle area and adults on the rest of them it seemed. These courses are no joke! As many other reviews stated, my partner and I got 90 minute passes but could barely last an hour! We both felt that this was a great workout. It was fun and challenging. The sense of accomplishment we both felt finally getting a course after trying a few times was unmatched. We're already planning to come back. I will echo what some other reviewers said and say watch out for kids! Signs state only one person on a course at a time, but that wasn't the case. Some small kids were weaving in and out, so stay alert! I saw on the TVs there that the third Thursday evening of each month is adults only -- would be fun to check out! read more

You're never too old to have fun and that's our motto! My girls and I are training for an obstacle course race, so we checked out this Ninja Warrior park as a fun way to prep. The obstacles were a perfect mix of fun and challenging, making it a great way to train without it feeling like a workout. We laughed, raced, and pushed ourselves, and I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

The place was smaller than I anticipated. Obstacles were also easier than expected. Overall still a fun time. Wouldn't recommend 90 mins. Just do 60 mins. read more

This is a must activity for any Ninja Warrior fans who have always dreamed of trying out a similar course. My oldest son has been begging to be on the show, so when I started planning our trip to CA, I discovered that this place was 15mins from our hotel! Located at the Mainplace mall on the 2nd floor, near Forever 21 side and a short walk from the elevators. Sign the waivers per person on the kiosks then go to the counter to purchase your time and socks. Or you can do this online and reserve your time in case they sell out when you arrive. Next you'll wait in a hallway with benches and lockers and watch a short safety video. It was very packed in here. Lots of birthday parties and tons of kids running wild. Since my 4yr old was too young, hubby was required to get a wristband and join the fun. We purchased the 60min, plus socks. Socks are required! The worker said I had to get a wristband and sign a waiver even though I'm just watching with my baby girl and she's too young to join anyways, it was free for me though so no biggie. (I just didn't want to embarrass myself but that jump ramp was tempting to try haha. Don't be fooled though, I've watched some tall grown men who tried and failed time after time throughout my visit. It's not as easy as it looks). We opted out for some girl shopping. There was a stand to purchase candy, drinks, popcorn, etc. And at the entrance counter, you can purchase American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park shirts, long sleeves, other merch. Customer service was alright. Nothing to rave about, but if you see a customer looking at the shirts behind you, maybe acknowledge them! There was 1 girl who was kind enough to check the back room for more sizes though after I got someone's attention. read more

Better for older kids, teens and adults. Our helper with the food really didn't know what to do.

When you really want to exercise and move around but don't want to be in the hot sun, then American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park is the place for you. First and foremost, be sure to bring grippy socks or you'll be asked to purchase a pair of their socks before you can enter the facilities. Although not expensive, it does add up when you have multiple folks in your party who need the socks. The place is moderately sized with several different obstacle courses at different levels to try. It'll definitely make you break a sweat if you're not prepared. On the back side of the facility is an area designed specifically for toddler and kids with giant inflatable obstacle course. Definitely a worthwhile place to consider if you have little ones who need to expend some energy. read more

ANW Adventure Park is the best addition to the main place Mall in decades! For one low price each month , kids and parents can have access to their Ninja Warrior obstacles and their entire blow up race area. Our son even enjoyed their Ninja in training program that was coached by an instructor each week on Wednesdays. The staff was always friendly and welcoming to new attendees and the online waiver system was very easy to navigate. I also enjoyed their private entrance catwalk on times the mall was closed. Very Impressive crew here. 5 stars. read more

I booked a church group hangout here for a group of elementary-aged kids, and WOW -- this was by far the most pleasant and smooth experience I've ever had planning a kids' event! Booking was super easy, and all of my (many!) questions were answered right away. I had never heard of this place before and went in not really knowing what to expect -- but it completely exceeded every expectation. At one point, I needed to reschedule to a different day, and that process was also incredibly simple. On top of that, I had some last-minute additions to our group, and the staff was flexible and accommodating without any issues. The day of the event, the front desk staff were AMAZING. Huge shoutout to Ryley, Joy, Sam, and Giselle-- they were so kind, helpful, and genuinely made the whole experience stress-free and fun for everyone. They're a big reason why our event went so smoothly. And the facility itself? The kids had an absolute blast. It was clean, fun, well-run, and just a perfect spot for a group of energetic kids. If you're planning a group outing with kids -- book here. You will not regret it. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Had a great time at American Ninja Warrior with our niece and nephew! The facility was very clean and well maintained. We came on a Tuesday so it was pretty empty which was great. Check in was a breeze since we bought our tickets online. They ask you to wear their ANW socks with the grips on the bottom for the inflatable park. But the obstacle courses was where we had the most fun. Courses range from easy then to intermediate then challenging... I believe there was 5 or 6 courses in total, and then a "beat the wall" section with 8 ft, 12 ft, and 14 ft ramps. The hardest obstacles for me were definitely the ones that required grip strength. I knocked off a star because I think the pricing was just a little more than we thought it should have been. But overall, we had an awesome time. My hubby and I were super sore the next day! Kids had a great time. read more

This place is definitely a fun spot for friends, but I'd say it's more geared towards kids. It was smaller than I expected, especially after seeing videos online that made it look much bigger. We went through all the obstacle courses within an hour and were left wishing there was more to do. One of the workers kept quizzing us on the safety video, which felt a bit strange and unnecessary. Also, I bought grip socks from them, but my friends brought their own. Unfortunately, they wouldn't allow my friends to go into the bounce house because their socks weren't the ones sold on-site. It honestly felt like a money grab since the only difference was the "American Ninja Warrior" branding on their socks. They even tried to tell us their socks were specially designed for the bounce house, which didn't make much sense. Another downside was the slides in the bounce house--they weren't very smooth and actually burned us a bit when we slid down. Overall, while it can be a fun outing with friends, I'd keep in mind that it's more suited for kids and be prepared for some odd rules around the grip socks. read more

We visited the American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park in Santa Ana today for the 6:30 PM session and had an extremely disappointing and disturbing experience. First, a man aggressively confronted a boy because his daughter thought he had pushed her. The boy insisted it wasn't him, and even the girl wasn't sure. The boy was visibly shaken and started crying. Shockingly, a staff member stood nearby and did absolutely nothing. I had to intervene and offer the boy help. Then, my own son stepped on a needle that pierced his foot. We handed the needle (photo attached) to a staff member -- no follow-up, no concern. The park itself was filthy -- clumps of hair, plastic sock wrappers scattered across the trampolines, and trash just left lying around. One of the worst hazards was a "Wet Floor" sign dangerously wedged between trampoline seams -- right where kids are jumping. It could easily cause an injury. The concept of this place is great, but the execution and management are completely unacceptable. It felt chaotic, unsafe, and uncared for. Sadly, we won't be coming back. read more

Super fun! Even tho it is not huge, there were enough to keep the kiddos busy for one hour. What a great way to workout without feeling repetitive or boring. It feels pricey if you just lay the counter price, but we got a Groupon deal and it was worth every penny! read more

My friends and I saw this place on Tik Tok and it looked like some sort of adult gym that mimicked American Ninja Warrior. We figured it would be a fun lil outing for us all to do so we decided to go for it. We got a Groupon and ended up going on a Tuesday morning / afternoon so it was pretty cheap and we hoped not too busy. We didn't realize it would be in a mall so that was a bit odd but it was fine. We got there just a little bit after it opened and it was filled with a ton of small kids which we weren't expecting. The person working there told us it would be better to come back about 45 minutes later since a lot of the kids would be leaving by then so we decided to just walk around the mall in the meantime. We went back and got in and there were still a lot of kids but not as bad so we went on the course. I imagined the course to be a little bit bigger but it was about 5 rows of obstacles, with each one getting increasingly harder. I think having adult only times would be nice so we wouldn't have to worry about running into small kids, but we all ended up having fun and were done in about 45 minutes. read more

Located in Santa Ana mall- at first glance it looks disappointing because there is a bunch of little kids and the course looks small. But dare I say this kicked my a$$! It was fun and entertaining. Definitely a good time! read more

This was a fun experience! I got a 1-hour voucher on Groupon for my kids (ages 3 & 7). My 3-year-old really enjoyed the jumper area, but the adventure park was definitely better for my older one. The staff was nice and welcoming. Before going in, you watch a short video and sign the vouchers. Overall, a cool spot for kids to burn some energy and have fun! read more

Staff was really friendly. I bought a Groupon about 2 months ago and finally used it. Before my Groupon was scanned I was informed I needed their special grip socks for the inflatable section. It was only $3 for a pair so it was nothing crazy. I saw people complain about needing the socks, but there was no problem at all. They also made sure we had the correct shoes on before scanning the Groupon. Another thing people complained about but I feel like it's common sense that you need the proper shoes for an experience like this. Again, the staff was super friendly and let us know about their current promo. The girl that helped us even gave us the option to start at a later time (2:30) since it was 2:10 and our hour time slot would of started at 2. Although there were minimal courses we still had a lot of fun and the inflatable section was pretty cool! read more

This place was pretty cool to run into on a rainy day. Something to do indoors that's both fun and active. The prices are decent. For an adult that works out pretty often, 60 minutes was totally more than enough time for a fun session. There are 5 different courses and there's also an inflatable course section. We opted out of that for this session. I was tired after 15-20 minutes of trying the 5 ninja warrior courses. I was o Lu able to complete two. They range from easy to hard. Gloves are definitely recommended and if you forget them, they are available for purchase. Make sure to bring your energy and water although they do have a drinking fountain as well. They also provide lockers to store personal items. On a Tuesday morning, it wasn't crowded at all so we just left our things on a table near the courses. read more

Found this place while looking for some fun things to do in the OC area. We made a quick reservation online. You can book per hour for a very reasonable price. My sister and I did not know what to expect but decided to give it a try since we're big fans of the show. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge itself since it's inside the shopping mall but we found it. We had to buy their grip socks to use the inflatable course but wanted the full experience so we paid the price. The employees were very kind and explained everything clearly. The place was pretty clean upon walking in. There were 4 different courses with various challenges with increasing difficulty level. They had a snack bar and kids parties are pretty popular on the weekends. We paid for 1 hour and you can repeat any course as many times as you'd like. My sister and I enjoyed our time but probably won't return just because it was busy and filled with kids just climbing and jumping off and through the course without any mind to other people waiting. If you're looking for a real life ninja warrior experience, this is more like a play ground. read more

Located in the Santa Ana Mainplace Mall near JC Penny and Macy's. We did not make advanced reservations but we were able to get in on a Sunday afternoon. It was relatively busy and lots of kids birthday parties were happening. We paid about $21 for 1-hour and we were required to buy their socks for an additional $4. 5 Minutes before your call time, they make you watch a safety video and then you just get to do the ninja warrior course with closed-toe shoes or the inflatable course without shoes. Lockers are free which is appreciated. The obstacles are challenging but fun, great for all ages. Open floor plan. I just personally think it is a little small, but good that OC has something like this and staff were very nice! read more
