Help your child unleash their inner ninja! Ninja Zone combines obstacle training, gymnastics, martial arts, and freestyle movement in a high-energy, play-based environment. Kids develop balance, agility, coordination, and confidence as they climb, jump, flip, and navigate obstacles with guidance from certified Ninja Zone coaches. Grip socks are required and may be purchased on-site for $10 per pair.

Challenge new heights on our indoor rock wall designed for fun, skill building, and adventure. Participants learn proper climbing techniques, problem-solving, belaying basics, and safety fundamentals under the guidance of trained staff. Please note that children must fit securely in the climbing harness. The Rock Wall is a unique feature available only at the Southeast & Armed Services YMCA.

The Cottonwood Creek YMCA offers one of the most unique indoor aquatics experiences in the region. Party guests can enjoy:

• Wave Pool – A family-favorite attraction offering gentle waves for safe, exciting fun.
• Lazy River – Perfect for floating, relaxing, or playing games with friends.
• Whirlpool/Vortex Area – A swirling current pool that kids love to spin through.
• Water Slide – A high-energy feature (height requirements apply; check with aquatics staff).
  
  

Additional aquatic games may be available (seasonal or staffing dependent), such as floating basketball hoops or volleyball nets. Because demand is high, all Cottonwood Creek birthday reservations must be completed in person, and availability is based on current aquatics schedules.

Branches offering pool-based birthday parties provide a fun and safe swim experience for up to 20 children. Kids enjoy splash time, structured activities (varies by location), and access to age-appropriate water features. All participants must follow YMCA pool safety rules. Children ages 6 and under must remain within arm’s reach of a parent or designated caregiver. Visit our Swim Guidelines page for further details.
