Brooklyn Zoo NY

I took a couple of classes hear and had a great time! The instructors has easier breakdowns if a certain move is too difficult, and won't push u if you are feeling too scared to do certain things but will inform you that it's not that you can't do certain obstacles, it's your brains safety mode being on, which helps me to try to get past that. Have had a really good workout and learned a couple of techniques I feel will help me run away from danger if ever in need:)

Also the place looks really cool and colorful they have many types of classes you can take, parcour, free running, bars, aerial yoga etc. Always so cool seeing people do their own thing and perfect their art

Fun every time. We always make a day of it. Yay yay yay yay yay! The seals are very smart and friendly

Good folks

Chris is great instructor

Lots for kids to do on two huge floors. We dud camp first the day

We brought my bf's ten year old here for the summer camp and HE LOVES IT! He is so excited to go every day and comes home happy and tired. It is really helping him with motor skills and getting him to be braver and more confident. Super happy we found this place.

Really cool recreational gym with a lot of different classes to choose from. I typically do the flip class with Sha, who is super friendly, talkative, and makes you feel safe. He never pushes too much, but just enough to help you conquer your fears! I have also done the handstands and bars class, as well as spent some time doing random stuff like trampoline during open gym hours. Overall great place with a nice vibe, has a lot of friendly people who frequent this parkour gym. I would recommend this for someone who is trying to be more active and push the limits of their body!

So if you think this is a zoo just like I did, it isn't! I came here for a birthday party thinking I was going to see and pet little cute animals but boy was I wrong.

This place is a massive warehouse like (and funky) gym/ninja warrior style venue, perfect to burn your kids's energy levels. We came here for a birthday party not knowing what to expect (should've googled beforehand but did not) and we ended up having so much fun.

The building has two floors with different activities. There were approx. 40 kids in our party so we were split into two different groups. The staff were all nice, friendly and helpful. All the kids had an absolute ball.

Food and drinks were served upstairs on their third floor. Very spacious floor for kids to run around with great views of surrounding buildings too. There is a rooftop but we didn't check it out as it was too cold. The building has both stairs and elevators - easy for strollers.

The commute from Manhattan wasn't so bad either. Got the L line and it is less than a 10 mins walk to get there from the subway station.

My partner wanted to do something different for his birthday - something he and his friends wouldn't normally do - and physical activity was the first thing that came to our minds. We looked all over online for a place that can cater to ~10 people on short notice that wouldn't empty our wallets, and DUN DUN DUN, we finally found the one: Brooklyn Zoo!

They have 2 levels: the first level is more open (fit for more varied activities) and consists of a trampoline and foam pit (which were the main things we really wanted) and the second level is where the actual ninja warrior! We opted for a standard party package for the first level because we thought it would be the most fun for our group's fitness level, and we were right! Our instructors, Arthur and Night, were amazing and extremely helpful!

They came up with activities that started from 1 (warm up exercises) to 10 (jumping off a ledge and into the foam pit ). Arthur was there with me for the foam jump, and honestly, I felt much more safe with him there. Towards the end, I basically took over the trampoline and had a mini 1 on 1 lesson with Night. No matter how many times I tried bouncing on my behind , I couldn't do it because my legs always reached the bottom first! But Night came along and gave helpful pointers, and soon, I was doing combinations and all!

All the staff members we encountered were all friendly, so there's no reason to feel intimated here (I know I was scared at first because I didn't know what to expect). We'll definitely be coming back in the future!

Signed up for a day. There were several instructors for a small group. They learned all the kids' names. They were attentive and kind. They offered spots wherever needed. The space is great. All the kids loved the activities. Climbing, jumping, trampoline, sliding down the pole, rope pit. Great place. We're coming back.

Cool facility, good classes, lots of fun. The people who work there are pleasant. Only downside is it's kind of pricy ‍

This place is a shit show that needs to seriously get it together and restruxture their classes, size, protocols and general mission. The owner clearly doesn't know the slightest thing about running a business. HAVING MONEY DOESN'T MAKE YOU A GOOD BUSINESS OWNER.

As a parent I'm highly disappointed in management and the owner. Instead of setting class size limits, setting apart different skill levels etc they'll take anyone last minute for the extra money. Half the time the kids don't get the 1 on 1 time they need and they're being held back by random kids "dropping in". Back to back classes with barely any time for people to get out of the way.. it's a disaster. Get an owner/manager that actually has experience running an event space. Use this pandemic as an opportunity to make this what it can be!!


I honestly feel bad for the staff and based on what I saw before quarantine...I won't be taking my child back. I wish I could take this one specific coach with me, he's phenomenal with my kids.
