Sensory Sessions in Christchurch
At Ninja Valley Christchurch, we believe that play should be for everyone. That’s why we’re introducing Ninja Sensory Sessions—a specially designed session for those who may feel overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, and high-energy environments.
These sessions provide a more accessible and inclusive play experience while still offering all the fun, adventure, and movement of the Ninja Arena.
When are Sensory Sessions?
Join us for Sensory Sessions Mondays from 12:30pm – 2:30pm at Ninja Valley Christchurch.
Sensory Session Mondays will start on Monday 17th March and run during term time only.
Sensory Sessions will not be available during school holidays or public holidays.
What to expect with Ninja Valley Sensory Sessions
During Sensory Sessions, we make adjustments to create a more comfortable and welcoming experience:
✅ The music and lights will be turned off.
✅ Announcements signaling the end of the session will not include the usual theme music.
✅ While we’ll do our best to reduce sensory stimuli, Ninja Valley Christchurch will remain open to all visitors.
These sessions are ideal for anyone who benefits from a lower-stimulation environment, including children and adults who are sensitive to noise or bright lights.
How much are Sensory Sessions?
There is no special "Sensory Session" ticket if you're booking on the website. Whether you choose our standard 1 Hour pass, or our Off Peak 3 Hour for $30 pass, just make sure you're booking between 12:30pm and 2:30pm on Monday afternoon.
At the end of the Sensory Session at 2:30pm, we'll make an announcement that we're about to turn the lights and the music back on, giving you a few moments to prepare.
A Place for All Ages & Stages of Development
Ninja Valley offers activities for children of all ages and abilities. From soft play areas designed for younger children to interactive play zones and exciting obstacle challenges for older kids, there’s something for everyone.
Whether your child prefers independent exploration or enjoys movement with support, Ninja Sensory Sessions create an environment where they can participate at their own pace.
We know that every child experiences play differently, and our inclusive approach ensures that families can enjoy the Ninja Arena in a way that best suits their needs.
Caregiver & Hāpai Card Entry
While Ninja Valley Christchurch does not have a formal association with the Hāpai Access Card, we want to make our sessions as accessible as possible. If you present a Hāpai Card or are a dedicated caregiver, you’ll receive free entry with a standard ticket.
Please note - as a dedicated caregiver it is your responsibility to ensure the person you're caring for either understands or is actively following our safety instructions at all times.
Experience a New Way to Play
Sensory Session Mondays are all about making movement and adventure more accessible, comfortable, and inclusive for those who need it. Whether it’s jumping, climbing, or simply exploring, everyone is welcome at Ninja Valley Christchurch.
