Children ages 2–12 stomp and frolic through Monkey Zone’s 32,000-square-foot facility filled with bouncing residences, a hook and loop climbing wall, and party rooms adorned with colorful wall murals. Fifteen themed inflatables evincing exotic locales such as castles, jungles, and barnyards pulse and undulate throughout the space, and adventurous tykes are encouraged to release their inner primates while scaling or hanging from an inflated hook and loop wall. Colorfully painted walls ensconce birthday festivities or office-promotion celebrations with murals of jungle beasts prowling through trees and manatees smushing their faces against the glass in an underwater seascape. Though not included in the value of this Groupon, an in-house dining area satiates cravings for sustenance with snacks and pizzas, and a mini arcade satiates nostalgic cravings for the entertainments of bygone decades.
