Monkey Joe’s inflatable play center entertains kids aged 2–12 with a soft, yielding landscape filled with bouncy slides and jumps. Tykes can outwit the obstacle course, refueling on the sweet nectar of a small fountain drink, or search for the eponymous Monkey Joe, a purple monkey who expresses every conceivable emotion through fur-covered high-fives. The Mini Monkey zone, designed for tots aged 3 and younger, builds budding gray matter with puzzles and games stationed on a soft landing area. An adult area offers caregivers respite with flat-screen TVs and free high-speed wireless Internet access as kids gambol across the well-lit, sanitized play areas overseen by trained staffers.

A full-service party package lets up to 16 tykes steal away for two hours in a private party room equipped with complimentary paper plates, napkins, and tablecloths. Packages also include invitations and the services of a dedicated party pro as well as celebratory single servings of pizza, drinks, and ice cream for each minute mouth. Monkey Joe’s handles setup and cleanup as well and arms departing partygoers with a goodie bag and commemorative daguerreotype of the afternoon’s antics.
