Total Ninja: SA’s Largest Indoor Playpark + Inflatable Obstacle Course
A playground on steroids – no matter the weather.
By Inside Guide • July 15, 2025
Are you ready to challenge yourself? Total Ninja is a supervised activity and fitness venue inspired by the need for individuals of all ages and abilities to achieve their own greatness! It is more than just a cool name, it boasts the ultimate mix of obstacles and inflatables (and is the largest of its kind in the country).
And… action!

The black-and-red colour scheme, industrial aesthetic and funky lighting set the mood for some seriously fun action. As you step inside, you’ll be tempted to join the children of all ages (grown-ups too) climbing, swinging, jumping, balancing, bouncing, sliding and negotiating everything from the Inflatable Course, Warrior Obstacle Course and WipeOut, to Battle Ball, Dodge Attack and the Warped Wall – there are challenges for all skill levels – plus the Strike Arena for ultra-competitive Ninjas.
It’s a full-body workout, and no matter what happens, there’s always a soft landing. Cue lots of fist-pumps and high-fives…
Be the Ninja

Ninja levels vary based on your age and each is supervised and guided by trained professionals:
- The “Mini Ninjas” (0 – 3 years) have their own dedicated area, so they can enjoy the experience safely while developing gross and fine motor skills with a range of exciting activities.
- The “Total Ninjas” (ages 4 and up) have full access to the entire Adventure Park, perfect for fun, fitness, friendly competition, socializing or even a unique date night or team-building outing.
In addition, “Student Ninjas” get a 20% discount on the rate on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with a valid student card, excluding public and school holidays). Group bookings (10 or more) get a 10% discount on Mondays to Thursdays (excluding public and school holidays), while “Birthday Ninjas” get an hour of free play on their date of birth (don’t forget to bring your ID!).

Special antibacterial grip socks must be worn when using the course, plus there’s other rad gear to elevate your ninja style – gloves, headbands and wristbands, T-shirts, peak caps and even stick-on tattoos – so you’ll totally look the part.
Fuel for fun

Ninjas get thirsty and hungry, and the café (also the spectator viewing area) serves all the family favourites – from delicious toasties, pizzas and burgers to ice cream and waffles. There’s great coffee by skilled baristas, milkshakes and even refreshing mocktails to enjoy, plus a range of platters for eight to share – sarmies, wraps, sliders, fruit, sweet stuff – that are ideal for a play date.
Total Ninja is, of course, a great venue for a birthday celebration, with private party rooms and two hours of access to Ninja Park or the Mini Ninjas area, along with all the extras, a host and co-ordinator, catering and even invitations sorted. Party packages start at R215 per child (Mini Ninjas) and R295 per child (Total Ninjas). For extra ninja excitement, glow parties light up the course with music and neon thrills.
With lockers on site, baby-changing facilities, free wifi and ample free parking, it all adds up to an effortless outing for families, friends or fitness fanatics.
