Family Open Class at the Ninja Warrior Academy

We are pleased to announce a new offering called 'Family Open Class' that will temporarily replace Family & Kids Open Play sessions. Classes will be capped at 30 participants and coaches will be on the floor to help with tips and techniques as needed. NOTE: This class does NOT follow the ninja band curriculum, which offers more hands-on instruction and skills training. No membership is required, but Ultimate Members can reserve slots at no cost ahead of time. Non-members can participate in the 60-minute class for $15 and the 90-minute class for $20, so this is a great program for you to invite friends to!

Golden Mummies at the BMS

Golden Mummies of Egypt examines hopes and fears about the afterlife when Egypt was part of the Greek and Roman worlds (c. 300 BC-200 AD). The exhibition consists of over 100 key objects from the Manchester Museum’s world-class collection, including eight mummies, as well as masks, coffins, jewelry and sculpture. Blending Egyptian, Roman and Greek imagery, the strikingly lifelike painted mummy portraits are among the most haunting images from the Ancient World. Using interactive CT scan technology, Golden Mummies of Egypt reveals stories hidden beneath the wrappings, but also questions why we are fascinated by mummies and what they might tell us about ourselves.
