If you are new to the Sunrays community or just haven’t taken advantage of this specific event yet, here is your complete guide to how it works, why kids beg to go back, and everything you need to know to secure your night out.

What Actually Happens at Kids Night Out?

Kids Night Out (KNO) is a fully supervised, four-hour event on select Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, led by our trained, CPR-certified staff, ensuring your child's safety and enjoyment.

Every KNO features a lively, rotating theme like Minecraft, Glow in the Dark, Spooktacular Halloween, or Snow Much Fun, making it a fun-filled night kids love and parents trust.

Here is a look at what is inside a typical evening:

• Gymnastics & Ninja Zones: Kids get supervised access to the spring floors, balance beams, and bars. They can try out our famous NinjaZone challenges and fly into the foam pits.
• Organized Themed Games: Our coaches lead high-energy activities matched to the month's theme so the kids are constantly engaged.
• Dinner is Served: We handle the food. Every child receives a slice of cheese pizza and a juice box to keep them fueled up.

The Essential Details (The "Parent Manual")

To make your drop-off seamless, here are the logistical details you need to know:

• Ages: The event is built for children ages 4 to 11. All children must be fully potty-trained and in good health to attend, ensuring safety and comfort for everyone.
• Locations: Depending on the weekend, KNO is hosted across our valley locations, including Phoenix, Arcadia, Carefree Hwy, and Surprise.
• Cost: We offer Early Bird pricing at $45 for the first child and $40 for each additional sibling if you register by Friday at 5:00 PM. After that, standard pricing is $55 for the first child and $50 for siblings, so register early to save!
• What to Leave at Home: Please keep all electronics, tablets and valuables at home. We promise they won't miss their screens while they are bouncing!
• Allergies: If your child has a food allergy or dietary sensitivity, please bring a packed meal from home and notify the coaches at drop-off. We are happy to accommodate special dietary needs to keep your child safe and happy.

Why It’s a Win-Win

While your kids enjoy bouncing and obstacle courses, you gain four hours of free time, because it is easier to plan a date night or run errands without worry, knowing they are in safe hands at our multiple valley locations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should my child wear to Kids Night Out? Dress them in comfortable, athletic clothing without zippers or buttons. Leotards, t-shirts and athletic shorts or leggings are perfect. Be sure to bring a refillable water bottle, too!

Do I need to be a current Arizona Sunrays member to attend? No! Kids Night Out is open to the public. It is a fantastic way for your child to experience our gym, meet the coaches and try out the equipment before committing to regular gymnastics or dance classes.

What happens if I am running late for pick-up? The event ends promptly at 9:00 PM. If you hit unexpected traffic or are running late, please call the front desk at (602) 992-5790 to let us know. Be aware that a late fee of $1 per minute is assessed after 9:00 PM.

Can I use my makeup tokens for Kids Night Out? Yes! If you are currently enrolled in classes and have missed one, those missed classes become tokens. You can often utilize these tokens for open gym, camps and Kids Night Out.

Is my child required to do gymnastics? Not at all. While gymnastics and NinjaZone activities are a big part of the fun, the night includes plenty of general games and bouncing. It is designed for all skill levels—from total beginners to competitive athletes.
