What are people saying?
There was a party decorator who literally took my birthday decorations out of my hands and said, "I've got it," and decorated the entire party room without me even being there. She even blew up balloons that we hadn't even discussed beforehand! That level of thoughtfulness and initiative made the day so much less stressful for me, and I can't thank her enough.
All the workers were incredible with the kids. In the gym they kept everyone engaged by playing games, encouraging the children, and showing so much patience and enthusiasm throughout the party. They made sure every child had fun and felt included.
The entire team made my daughter's birthday unforgettable, and their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would come back a million times and highly recommend Ultimate Ninjas to anyone looking for an amazing birthday party venue!
My son is 7 and has been attending for about six months. My view is that this is perfect for some kids and not for others. Kids that are naturally climbing and swinging from things are definitely a good fit. My son isn't the strongest and isn't the most coordinated, which is why we signed up. The coaches are helpful with kids that aren't strong enough or big enough to get started on obstacles, but it seems rare that they actually give instruction on how to get better at the obstacles. So, they're helpful, but not so great at skill building, at least for the general classes.
That doesn't mean my son doesn't have fun and hasn't developed skills. He's mastered the small run-up wall, though I think that's mostly because of me coaching him at the end of class.
All 3 of my kids loved it!
All in all a great experience.
Cons: I wished the staff encouraged them them to partake a little more, because I noticed my 2 older kids to take breaks too frequently, when the rest of their peer groups were not on a water break.
I appreciate that there are so many classes offered because as a working parent, I sometimes struggle to find options that work for our schedule. I also frequently use the makeup class option, which the staff is incredibly helpful in managing.
The facilities are clean, and my kids would say the birthday parties here are the “most fun”. Absolutely recommend.
They are also open all year and on holidays and school breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Ultimate Ninjas Elmhurst
What does Ultimate Ninjas Elmhurst offer?
We're an indoor obstacle gym on West Lake Street for DuPage County families. Weekly coach-led classes, open play, birthday parties, school-break camps, and adult fitness share one floor.
How old does my child need to be at Elmhurst?
Lil Ninjas is ages 3–5. Core kids classes and open play are 6+. Birthday parties can include younger siblings from about age 3 when the package allows.
Can we try Elmhurst before joining?
Yes. Claim a free class so your child can meet coaches and try the course before you buy a pack. It's the easiest way to see if the Elmhurst gym fits.
What's the difference between classes and open play here?
Classes are weekly, coached stations — grip, balance, jumps. Open play is supervised free time on the same course with no syllabus.
Where is the Elmhurst gym?
684 W Lake St., Elmhurst, IL 60126. Easy from I-290 / York Road. Call (630) 478-2710 for first-visit tips. Free parking at the building.
Is this a good pick when DuPage weather is miserable?
Yes. Elmhurst winters and icy school weeks keep kids indoors. The course is fully inside, so slush and polar-vortex days don't cancel practice.
Are parents allowed to watch in Elmhurst?
Yes. There's viewing space so you can watch without standing on the obstacles.
What should kids wear the first time?
Close-fitting athletic clothes and closed-toe shoes. No flip-flops or dangling jewelry. Bring a labeled water bottle.
How do we get started at Elmhurst?
Grab a free class or open the Elmhurst schedule on this page, pick a program, and finish the waiver before anyone steps on the floor.
