We visited Ninja Warrior on a weekend, which, as two adults, we admit wasn’t the best decision. The place was absolutely packed with children, which is understandable, but the courses really weren’t designed for them. Most of the kids couldn’t even reach the equipment, so instead of attempting the obstacles, they were just running around underneath, playing games of tig. This made it difficult for us to even try the courses properly, as there was no orderly system—no queues, no clear guidance, just chaos. It felt like an accident waiting to happen.
Our experience didn’t get off to a great start either. We arrived on time but struggled to find parking, and then had to queue for 15 minutes just to check in because there were only two staff members dealing with a huge crowd. By the time we finally got through, we had missed our session. To be fair, they did accommodate us on the next one, which we appreciated, but from a guest experience point of view, it all felt very impersonal—just one in, one out, more people crammed in, and more money being made. Kids were getting impatient, adults were confused, and any initial excitement quickly disappeared as soon as we got inside.
As for the obstacles, we found them extremely difficult, and all anyone really seemed to be doing was climbing the wall because most of the other courses were just too tough. The crash mats didn’t help—they were so hard that falling on them was painful. Foam pits would be a much better alternative, as they’d make the experience feel safer and more encouraging. As it was, we found ourselves holding back because we didn’t want to get hurt.
One positive was the inflatable section, which was actually good fun. However, hygiene seemed to be an afterthought—we didn’t see any hand sanitiser available, which, given how many people were using the equipment, wasn’t great. We also can’t comment on the food because it was so busy that we just left as soon as our 45 minutes were up.
We know Ninja Warrior is meant to be a fun experience, and we weren’t expecting to be pros, but it would have been nice to actually get the chance to try. If there had been fewer issues, we probably would have given it more of a go, but overall, it felt overcrowded, unstructured, and not...

Read moreThe worst birthday party experience I've ever had. We had brought our own grippy socks and my children were refused entry onto the inflatables unless they had ninja warrior branded socks. My youngest was in tears at this. I spoke to staff and they said some rubbish about it being something to do with their insurance provider (bear in mind you have to sign a waiver before you can enter), but it's absolute rubbish. We've been in other places with the same sort of inflatables and as long as the socks had grippy socks, it didn't matter what brand they were. It's just a ply to get more money out of people. The socks they provided barely had any grippy bits on them at all compared to the ones we had, so how does that make any sense? Following this we had to wait almost an hour for food. Food which was just deep fried chips and a quarter of a pizza. It may have been for 8 people but I could've cooked that in 20 minutes at home. I'd expect pizza cooked from scratch and proper chips chopped from potatoes in the time we waited! In the time we waited for our food I saw no other food going out, so obviously the kitchen wasn't busy. No apologies for the wait when we collected food either. The only reason you got more than 1 star was because the food was above sub par, although the wait time was absolutely unreasonable. We won't be going back to Ninja...
