A huge new Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park opened in Liverpool today.

To kick off the venue's launch, football pundit and Ninja Warrior UK co-presenter, Chris Kamara, will be on hand to welcome the first few guests through the doors from 4.30pm. There'll also be a number of professional 'Ninjas' who have previously competed on the TV show.

The exciting new venue, which opens at New Mersey Shopping Park in Speke today (Thursday, August 4), will feature a mix of adrenalin-fuelled courses and inflatable runs inspired by the popular television programme. It aims to combine fun, fitness and imagination.

The 21,000 sq ft indoor facility boasts obstacles to climb, balance, jump and swing across, as well the famous Warped Wall for thrill-seekers to try their hand at. Wannabe ninjas can even try and tackle the new Mount Sasuke climb, plus a huge inflatable obstacle run to race through.

The venue welcomes people of all ages, with a soft play zone designed to suit children aged 0 to three years old. The Ninja Café offers a calm spot to stop and refuel.

Chris Kamara commented: "I really look forward to the opening of a new Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park, and Liverpool will be no exception. The reaction we get from guests attending is just unbelievable.

"It's such a great family show that everyone now has the opportunity to come down and have a go for themselves. And, I still get to do the best bit of the job which is to watch on - it's equally as entertaining, trust me."

Lisa Buckley, CEO at Leisure TV Rights Ltd, said: "We are proud to be bringing a Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park to Liverpool. Our team and ITV have done a great job getting the venue ready, and now we can't wait to open the doors. The response locally has been fantastic so far, and we hope to see all ages coming by to take on the inflatables, the Mini-Ninja soft play, the show-inspired courses and the famous warped wall."

Russell Hall, centre manager at New Mersey, added: "We're over the moon that Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park Liverpool has chosen New Mersey as its location in the city. It brings another great leisure experience for our visitors and I'm sure will be incredibly popular when it opens."

General admission starts from £12 per person and £3.50 for ‘Mini Ninjas’ (children aged 0 to three years old). To make a booking, click here.
