    Have your kids ever wanted to try their hand at American Ninja Warrior? Need a way to burn off some energy? Want to try new things and a new workout? Look no further than Ninja Nation! We have been to both the Centennial and Lafayette locations, and this one is our favorite! With ninja coaches on the floor offering tips and hints, and obstacles for all levels, it is highly inclusive to ALL skill levels and everyone feels like they belong. They offer classes for all ages and skill levels, as well as National ninja league competitions. For the non-ninja parents, they offer a large lobby, lots of styles of seating and tables, a viewing area, and WiFi! 10/10 recommended checking this one out!

    Super disappointed in the direction this corporation is headed. We have had our membership for almost a year. We left my daughters old gym as she was not being challenged enough. I did so much research on each local gyms and spoke to coaches from each place before deciding on what gym would be the best fit for her. They advertised a variety of options from pro/elite ninja to everyday drop in ninja. This was appealing as my daughter is very driven to succeed in the sport. I also have an 8 year old who could run around and have fun while she was training there. We thought about the family membership but ultimately felt it would make more sense financially to just do a single membership for her and for him we could go to Defy and get their membership for $25.99/month because honestly he may swing on a thing or 2 but enjoys playing floor is lava and running around instead of wanting to take ninja classes so we just got the open gym punch pass for him to join on occasion- it did not make sense to pay the $125/month. The coaches have been nothing but phenomenal. They saw my daughters potential and always went out of their way to help her and challenge her. The other reason she has progressed so much is having all the older elite athletes as role models and mentors to look up to. They have welcomed her with open arms and allow her to jump in with them when she is there. The friendships we have made in the last year have been priceless. It is a ninja family/community to us and and now we realize the corporation just treats each kid as a body that walks in the door and has failed to see the importance of community like they advertise. The website states "it's more than just awesome facilities- it's a community of kids, adults, and parents encouraging each other, pushing their limits together and enjoying the friendships formed through dedication, hard work and positive energy." By making the changes that they are having basic obstacles and training and not welcoming elite athletes- this is not a place we want to continue to stay at. I feel like they are going against everything that made us pick that gym in the first place. Below is one of the pictures that sold me on the gym last year. #falseadvertising

    Best Birthday Party Experience Ever -- for Kids and Adults…read more We hosted Stella's 4th birthday party at Bounce Empire, and it was hands down one of the coolest places we've ever had a party. What truly sets Bounce Empire apart is that it's not just for kids -- it actually considers the adults too. So many kids' birthday venues forget about the parents, but not here. There's a full bar, massage pods, a movie theater room with recliners to watch sports, chess tables, and a beautiful outdoor patio with mountain views. It felt more like a resort than a kids' party venue. And the bounce houses? Definitely not just for kids. All the adults had an absolute blast too. They even have DJs! We were there for an 11 a.m. party so we didn't get to experience the DJ that day, but I've been here before for a late-night adult girls' party and it's just as fun for adults as it is for kids. Now I have to talk about the event planner, Ariann -- because she truly made this experience unforgettable. As a mom of two, getting somewhere early to set up balloons, cups, decorations, food, cupcakes, candles... it's usually stressful and exhausting. This time? I didn't lift a single finger. Ariann handled everything. Setup, food, cupcakes, candles, décor, and even cleanup. I was able to just be present and actually enjoy my child's birthday party -- which honestly almost made me cry. That kind of care and support is priceless. We never felt rushed, the party flowed perfectly, and it was by far the most laid-back, fun, and stress-free birthday party we've ever had -- for our kid. Is it a bit pricey? Yes. Is it 100% worth it? Absolutely. I would recommend Bounce Empire to anyone looking for a birthday party that truly caters to everyone -- kids and adults. We will definitely be back.

Your kids will have an absolute blast. If you have toddlers, this is not the place for them yet. They'll have a tough time negotiating all of the bounce houses and obstacle courses, and the slides will be a little too fast for them. One day, they'll love it, but not yet. If you're a parent or just going as an adult, prepare for a lot of STEEP slides, fun obstacles, and a fun few hours to be a kid again. It's an active, high energy place, and as long as you are ready to unleash your inner kid, you'll have a great time. The inflatables are incredible. The live DJ makes it feel special. Overall, it's so much better than you'd ever expect.

Lots of different things to keep them busy including a big pirate ship, pulley chairs, art room, etc. I loved how they had some older telephones, switch boards, etc. so kids could actually experience some of these items not commonly used or seen today. It was fun to let them explore those and play with them. As a bilingual family, we appreciated how everything was presented in English/Spanish. I did feel like some of the displays were a little run down. Likewise the prices were steep, especially for adults. I really think since adult presence is required, it really shouldn't cost more than $3 per adult. Bathrooms were fairly clean. Place seemed stuck in the Covid era which I wasn't a fan of. Time to move on! This isn't the museum's fault but the day we went the kids there were a bit out of control and rude. That dampened our experience a little bit. They had a little area where families could sit and eat snacks. That was nice for taking a break, especially if you stay for a while. It was a fun one time excursion but I wouldn't return. We have a lot of fun places much closer to us that cost a lot less!

Instead of giving into their frustration about lack of progress and hating messing with their bindings etc, I decided to book some open time at Shredder to work with them directly on the fundamentals. This was a perfect setting where they didn't need to worry about being bundled up, their gloves etc and could instead just focus on walking up the ramp, getting comfy with their bindings and working on leaf turns, heel stops, etc. The staff is very helpful and engaging and would squirt the artificial turf to help them go faster after they started to get better. A small complaint is we wish the ramp were longer as it's harder to combine multiple turns in a single run. This is a great place during spring / summer / fall for a quick review on the basics prior to heading to the slopes. They also offer camps, summer camps, seasonal lessons, etc. We brought our own gear but they have skis snow boards, boots and helmets available.

When the time did come to book her party, she decided she still really wanted to have her party here. I reached out via the form on the website and heard back super quickly with details on pricing and options, and just as quickly when I asked for availability for the specific day. We booked the party and made our deposit and leading up to the party had a lot of updates to throw at them including number of people, time in the party area, and add ons like ordering pizza. Each time their responses were prompt and incredibly helpful. On the day of the party Jared greeted me and gave me the full run down, and made sure all my questions were answered. We got set up and right at our party time they brought the kids on the floor for both guided activities and free play. They really made my daughter feel special by letting her lead the activities and even gave her a few special things to do, which she absolutely loved! All the kids in the party had an amazing time with coach Jared and coach Logan and we felt they were safe and taken care of the entire time. At the end of the party, every single parent came up to tell us how much they and their kid loved the party. Jared let us know we could leave anything we didn't want to take (extra food, decorations, etc) and they would clean it up. That was a huge bonus and made our life so much easier! Jared, Logan, and the party planning team made my daughter's birthday part so amazingly smooth and fun - I would not be surprised if she wants to come back next year and I would gladly do it all again!
