Ninja Warrior Adventure Park: US Status, Funparx and Where to Play (2026)

If you are searching for a Ninja Warrior Adventure Park in the United States, the short answer is that the American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park brand no longer has an open US location under that name. The Denver park closed in 2024, and the Santa Ana park in California now operates as Funparx. The brand is better known in the UK, where Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks have opened in many towns since 2018.

This guide explains what a ninja warrior park is, what happened to the two US locations, what to expect at a session and what to do if you want a similar experience near you. Names, owners and hours change, so confirm everything before you drive.

What Is a Ninja Warrior Adventure Park?

A ninja warrior adventure park is an indoor obstacle-course venue inspired by a television competition. Guests book timed sessions and tackle scaled-down versions of the show's obstacles, such as monkey swings, spider walls, tilting logs, floating bridges and the famous Warped Wall. Most parks also include an inflatable obstacle course and a play area for younger children.

The brand began in the UK. The first Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks opened in 2018 in partnership with ITV, and local news later listed parks in towns including Stoke-on-Trent, Wigan, Cardiff, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Southampton, Leeds and Leicester. The American version was announced in 2022 by Air Park USA, working with Universal Live Entertainment, a division of Universal Parks & Resorts, according to a Business Wire release.

At the US launch, the company's CEO said the goal was to open more than 100 American parks within five years, according to Spectrum News. That did not happen. Only two US parks opened.

Ninja Warrior Adventure Park Locations in the US

Status of the two US locations as of late October 2026.

A timeline of the brand in the UK and US.

Santa Ana, California: Now Funparx

The first US park opened on July 8, 2022, at MainPlace Mall in Santa Ana, in a 17,000-square-foot space on the mall's upper level, according to news reports from the time. It was described as a simplified, scaled-down version of the show, with truss obstacles and an inflatable section.

Apple Maps now lists the same address, 2800 N Main St, Santa Ana, as Funparx, a "Ninja Adventure Park." One reviewer wrote that they first visited when it was the American Ninja Warrior park and returned after it became Funparx. The park's description lists new obstacle courses, a "Floor Is Lava" challenge, inflatable challenges, jousting and a ball pit.

Visitor details from the listings include:

• Address: 2800 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA 92705, inside MainPlace Mall
• Phone: 714-760-4374
• Website: funparx.com
• Hours: Listings differ, so check the website. One map listing shows roughly 11 am to 7:30 pm Monday to Thursday, with later hours on Friday and Saturday and an earlier closing on Sunday.
• Little kids: One listing says children five and under have a morning-only session on weekdays, with all ages after noon.
• Footwear: Closed-toe shoes are required for the main obstacle course, and Funparx grip socks are required in the inflatable area.
• Holiday closures in 2026: A review site lists the park as closed on November 26 and December 25, with shorter hours on December 24.

Because the name and hours have changed, always check the park's own website for current prices and sessions. We could not confirm current ticket prices.

Denver, Colorado: Permanently Closed

A much bigger 37,000-square-foot park opened at 7150 Leetsdale Drive in Denver in June 2024. It had truss obstacles, a 10,000-square-foot inflatable course, a soft play area for children ages eight and under and an arcade.

It did not last. The official site now shows a message that the Denver location is permanently closed, and directs people with existing bookings to the Santa Ana venue. A travel site summary says the Denver park agreed to leave its site amid a landlord dispute and reported security concerns. Local deal sites that once advertised discounted Denver sessions, such as Mile High on the Cheap, now mark the attraction as closed.

If you find a page that still advertises Denver tickets, treat it as out of date.

What About the Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Parks?

In the UK, the Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park brand has been far more successful, with parks listed in many cities. A newspaper report in Edinburgh noted that the Ninja Warrior facility there was replaced by a venue called Funparx, run by a co-founder who had managed the Ninja Warrior park at the same location. This suggests that some former Ninja Warrior parks have rebranded, so check the official Ninja Warrior UK website for the list of parks that are still open.

If you are planning a UK trip, prices differ by location. A UK listing for Wigan showed tickets from £9.99, and a Bristol listing showed sessions from £13.50 per person with a lower price for toddlers. These figures may be out of date, so use them only as a rough guide.

What to Expect at a Session

What you can find at a ninja warrior park, based on descriptions from the parks and visitors.

Sessions are timed. When the American parks opened, 60-, 90- and 120-minute sessions were sold, and children ages eight and under needed an adult to participate with them, according to the official ticket page at the time. Admission when the Denver park opened ranged from about $24 to $34 for different session lengths, but those prices applied to a park that is now closed.

A visitor's guide to the Santa Ana park recommended comfortable athletic clothing and said that gloves can help avoid sore hands. Parks usually have a cafe and a spectator area, so family members who do not want to climb can watch from the side.

What Do Reviewers Say?

Reviews of the Santa Ana park were mixed. Some visitors loved it, praising the staff and the fun of the inflatable and the obstacles, and one reviewer said the obstacles were challenging even for adults. Another said it was less authentic or challenging than the TV show. A few reviews also raised safety or service concerns, including one report of a child getting hurt on the inflatable and one complaint about poor communication when sessions were canceled. Read recent reviews before you book.

Tips for a Ninja Park Session

Six tips for a ninja park session.

• Confirm the park is open. Names and owners have changed, so check before you travel.
• Wear closed-toe shoes. Funparx lists them as required on the main course.
• Bring grip socks. They are required in Funparx's inflatable area.
• Wear sports clothing and gloves. Gloves can help with sore hands.
• Check the age rules. Younger children may need a parent to join them.
• Warm up and pace yourself. Start with easy courses and stop if something hurts.

Alternatives If There Is No Ninja Park Near You

Many cities have ninja training gyms and trampoline parks that offer similar obstacle courses, though their branding and prices vary. Search for a local ninja gym or obstacle course venue, read reviews and ask about age rules and waivers before you go.

The Ninja Warrior Adventure Park concept is still alive in the UK, but in the US the original brand has faded. If you want to try a ninja course, check whether Funparx in Santa Ana suits you, look for a local ninja gym and confirm hours and rules before you go.
