Great Experience! - Fun different experience where we were able to make shurikens and kunais. Was very educational as we took pieces of metal, formed and shaped them, cured them and painted them with protective coating. The location was off the beaten path and experience was very personalized. We even got to take our weapons with us.

A great ninja experience - This was a last minute booking for us & it did not disappoint. Our family of 4 - 2 adults, a 15 & 12 year old - all had a great time making our own ninja weapons. The experience is a lot of fun!
