A new experience mixes the excitement of the ninja with the thrill of visiting a big top, creating the first for Franklin kids.
After seeing a need for this type of entertainment in Pukekohe, Ninjas R Us owner and director Paul Johnson (also known as PJ) decided to partner with Pukekohe Showgrounds, who saw it as a great idea.
Feedback has been amazing or as Johnson puts it, simply “wow”, with even parents enjoying it as much as their kids.
He said Ninjas R Us has something for everyone, even children as young as under one can come in and have fun.
A special section for under 5s is available, which includes a little play area, including a ball pit so younger kids can also have fun.
Starting from December 13, the adventure playground will become the Ninja Winter Wonderland.
“We did Halloween, and it was a huge success, so the whole area will be a Christmas theme, with the snow. Lots of decorations in keeping with the winter, the snow will be falling, and Santa will be sat there waiting to greet the children.
“It’ll be quite a special occasion, and they (the kids) can still play and enjoy the Ninja Wonderland play area,” said Johnson.
When they come, children can expect a three-level adventure playground, a mega bouncy castle, a giant ball pit, a trampoline, four slides, a Santa maze, ninja challenges, and ninja face painting.
Because of the summer season, there will be two sessions per day (including school holidays) 10am until 11.30am, and twilight hours of 6pm to 7.30pm until the end of the summer. Ninjas R Us will also be open on extra days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
