Activities for a total rush

Step in and the excitement starts as soon as you see the signature black-and-red colour scheme, industrial vibes, and funky lighting. Total Ninja Black River Park ensures ninjas of every ability can hone their skills:

• Mini Ninjas (for the under 5s only) is a dedicated mini inflatable area, and you can bet there's full supervision to keep those tiny ninjas in check.
• Total Ninjas (5-15 years) is where the real adrenaline kicks in, offering a full-on obstacle course experience with some Total Ninja equipment thrown into the mix.
• Ninja Masters (adults 16+) sessions are perfect for meeting new people, having a date night, or just getting in some "me time".

Highlights include the Warped Wall that tests every inch of you to conquer and the new Strike Arena that will have you and your squad racing against time to touch glowing points across the course and racking up scores.

Facilities fit for a master

You'll love the attention to detail, including the great facilities on offer. Need to kick back and watch the action? There's a wheelchair-accessible café with a prime spectators' spot. Got a mini ninja needing a change? They've got baby changing rooms sorted. And yes, there are toilets, because even warriors need a restroom break.

The high-speed Wi-Fi is perfect for sharing your special moments online. And when tummies start to rumble, the cafe has you covered. Whether you're after a light bite, filling mains, or a milkshake to boost your energy, there's something for everyone. Plus, Muslim patrons can rest assured - the cafe is halal-certified.

Legendary birthdays await

Total Ninja Black River Park isn't just any venue - they were finalists for "Best Kids Party Spot" at the KFM Best of the Cape Awards. So when you plan your child's celebration, know you're getting the real deal.

You can choose between the Ninja Lightweight and Ninja Heavyweight packages (for kiddos aged five and up), each varying in pricing and offerings. Regardless of your pick, you're in for two hours of 'ninja-tastic' fun, a cool party room, awesome hosts and coordinators, and some personalised invites. The party food options include child-friendly favourites like chicken strips, pizzas, burgers, grilled cheese toasties, and fries.

Teamwork makes the dream work

If you're looking for a thrilling team-building adventure, Total Ninja Black River Park also offers something completely different. You and your fellow ninjas will climb, jump, roll, and crawl through obstacles, testing your strength, stamina, and perseverance. But many of the challenges also call on team members to work together to move through sections. There'll be plenty of high-fiving and cheering as everyone unites to conquer the course. A day of connection is more than guaranteed!
