Bringing a crew? Start here.
Planning a company outing, field trip, team event, church gathering or group activity in Austin? Here’s what organizers should know before bringing the crew to Octo Ninja.
What kinds of group events does Octo Ninja host?
Octo Ninja hosts group events for kids, teens and adults at our indoor obstacle gym in Austin.
Groups can include corporate teams, schools, field trips, sports teams, churches, youth groups, Scouts, clubs, homeschool groups, community organizations and private gatherings.
The common denominator is simple: your group gets off the sidelines and actually does something together.
Does Octo Ninja offer corporate team building in Austin?
Yes. Octo Ninja hosts corporate team-building events and company outings at our North Austin obstacle gym.
Instead of another conference-room icebreaker, teams get a shared physical experience built around obstacles, races, movement challenges, problem-solving and plenty of opportunities to cheer each other on.
Events can work for coworkers with very different athletic backgrounds because challenges can be scaled for beginners as well as experienced athletes.
What does an Octo Ninja corporate team-building event look like?
Expect a much more active experience than a traditional meeting-room team-building exercise.
Depending on your group and event format, participants can climb, swing, balance, race, tackle obstacle challenges and work through activities that encourage communication, friendly competition and shared problem-solving.
Tell us whether your goal is team bonding, competition, celebration or simply giving everyone a memorable company outing, and our team can help identify the right event format.
Is Octo Ninja good for a company outing or team bonding event?
It can be a great fit for teams that want to interact instead of just attending the same event.
Obstacles naturally create moments where coworkers encourage each other, laugh, problem-solve, compete and discover talents they probably do not see around the office.
It works especially well for company celebrations, employee appreciation events, department outings, retreats and teams looking for an active alternative to the usual dinner or happy hour.
Does Octo Ninja host school field trips in Austin?
Yes. Schools can bring students to Octo Ninja for active field trips at our indoor Austin obstacle gym.
Students get opportunities to climb, balance, move, solve physical challenges and interact with classmates in an environment that feels very different from a normal school day.
Field trips can work well for school enrichment, PE experiences, student rewards, end-of-year celebrations and other group outings.
Can churches and youth groups book an event at Octo Ninja?
Yes. Octo Ninja welcomes church groups, youth ministries and community organizations looking for an active group experience in Austin.
Obstacle challenges give kids and teens natural ways to interact, encourage one another and have fun together without requiring everyone to already be friends, athletes or experienced ninjas.
It can be a strong option for youth nights, group celebrations, special outings and community-building events.
Can Scouts, clubs and homeschool groups visit Octo Ninja?
Absolutely. Scout troops, clubs, homeschool groups, co-ops and other youth organizations can plan group visits to Octo Ninja.
The obstacle course combines movement, problem-solving, confidence and social interaction, making it a fun alternative to a traditional meeting or classroom-style group activity.
Does Octo Ninja host sports teams and team bonding events?
Yes. Youth and adult sports teams can use Octo Ninja as a completely different kind of team-bonding experience.
Athletes can test grip, balance, agility, coordination and problem-solving through obstacle challenges that are different from their normal sport.
Team races and friendly competition can also give coaches a fun way to get athletes interacting outside their usual practice environment.
Does everyone in our group need to be athletic?
No. Your group does not need to be filled with athletes or experienced ninjas.
Octo Ninja has a wide variety of climbing, swinging, balance and movement challenges, and activities can be scaled for different comfort and ability levels.
The goal is not for everyone to complete the same obstacle. It is to give everyone an appropriate way to participate, challenge themselves and be part of the experience.
Can adults participate in Octo Ninja group events?
Yes. Octo Ninja is not just for kids.
Adult groups and corporate teams can climb, swing, race and tackle obstacles together, whether participants are experienced athletes, recreationally active or trying ninja for the first time.
What should participants wear to a group event?
Participants should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to climb, bend, swing and move freely.
Clean athletic shoes with good traction are recommended. Avoid sandals, flip-flops, Crocs and other loose or slippery footwear on the obstacle floor.
A refillable water bottle is also a good idea for active group events.
How much does a group event or corporate team-building event cost?
Group event pricing depends on factors such as your group size, event format, date and the experience you are planning.
Because a school field trip, corporate team-building event and youth-group outing may need very different setups, contact Octo Ninja with your estimated attendance and event goals for current options and pricing.
How large of a group can Octo Ninja accommodate?
Octo Ninja can work with different group sizes, but the best event format depends on the number and ages of participants, how you want to use the arena and the date of your event.
Send us your estimated attendance when you inquire and our team can recommend the best way to structure the experience for your crew.
Can we plan a private or exclusive group event?
Private-event options may be available depending on your group, date and event needs.
If having dedicated or exclusive use of the gym is important to your event, include that when you contact us so our team can discuss the current private-event options with you.
Do group participants need to complete a waiver?
Yes. Participating guests must have a current Octo Ninja waiver before using the obstacle course.
A parent or legal guardian must complete the waiver for participants under 18.
For larger groups, completing waivers before arrival can make check-in significantly faster and help your event start on time.
Can Octo Ninja bring an obstacle course to our school, company or event?
Yes. If bringing your group to the gym does not fit the event, Octo Ninja also operates a staffed mobile obstacle-course experience that can travel to qualifying locations around Austin and Central Texas.
Mobile events are designed for larger school events, corporate gatherings, festivals, community events, athletic events and other activations where you want Octo Ninja brought directly to you.
Where is Octo Ninja located for group events in Austin?
Octo Ninja is located at 6500 N Lamar Blvd, Suite A, Austin, TX 78752 in North Central Austin.
The indoor location makes group events less dependent on Austin heat or rainy weather and provides a dedicated obstacle environment for climbing, swinging, racing and team challenges.
