The Warrior Challenge Course is NOW OPEN!
We headed north to check out this exciting new ninja-style obstacle course! B & A couldn’t wait to test their skills. We didn’t stay long as it was very hot and humid.
The actual ninja course doesn’t have any shade.
There is a special obstacle course for little ones–ages 2-5.
