Kelly R:  We held a ninja warrior party at the Movement Lab for my 7-year-old son, and had a fantastic experience. All of the kids loved it, and I've never seen parents have so much fun at a birthday party - they loved trying out the obstacles along with the kids. The dads really showed up for this one!
