The scoop on all the Parents Night Out Indianapolis programs, straight from our CityMoms members. Special thanks to NinjaZone Academy for sponsoring this post!

What's one of the most frequent q's to pop up on our theCityMoms member board? "Where can I find a Parents Night Out program in Indianapolis?" Usually it's followed by a string of desperate emojis like shock faces and tired zzzz's, then hashtagged with #HelpMePlease #INeedANightOut. So we've become well-versed in the answer to this question and are spilling our faves.
Here's the {ever-growing!} list of Parents Night Out stops in the Indianapolis area:

North

NinjaZone Academy

What are the benefits of a membership with NinjaZone? Active kids, fulfilling classes and a parents night out every month {which in our opinion, is worth the cost of membership alone!}. Ninja Sport is a fierce fusion of obstacle course training, gymnastics, martial arts, & freestyle movement, focusing the energy of your children while building their confidence. The NinjaZone Academy locations are the professional training facilities of Ninja Sport for children ages 3-11 - kids come home tired-capital-T from their wonderful Parents Night Out programs. This is definitely a CityMom fave!
