For $15, today's side deal gets you five open-play visits at the all-ages Monkey Bizness, located inside the Great Plains Mall in Olathe, or the junior-friendly Little Monkey Bizness, located on Shawnee Mission Parkway in Shawnee (a $37.50 value). This Groupon is good for five open-play admissions (parents are free at both locations and infants under 12 months enter for free only at Monkey Bizness), and also includes 10% off all café fare and party-throwing, such as weekend indoor parties, at both locations.

Monkey Bizness is designed as an escape for both parents and children. Both monkeying destinations boast thousands of square feet of play area overlooked by a full-service gourmet coffee bar. Grown-ups can sip Seattle's Best Coffee at Little Monkey Bizness and at both locations can snack on healthy eats as giggling youngsters journey through playgrounds, clubhouses, climbing structures, educational computer stations, and other age-appropriate fun-zones. Though the two locations host similar play areas for all ages, the fun at Little Monkey Bizness lends itself more toward kids less than 8 years old.

Open-play hours are generously scheduled seven days a week at both locations; check the hours for Olathe and Shawnee online.
