Monkey Room

Real quick!
Awesome place for 2yr + to wild out and party like an A N I M A L in the zoo.
I was taken aback by the fact I could not bring a gift since my friend didn’t buy a birthday package.
For all intents and purposes, this should be none of their business. Who do they think they are Disney Land???
It’s a really small space with lots of jungle jim type things and sliding boards armoraled down like a grease monkey. There is also a party space. You byof. This is not chuckee cheeses people.
Parking is minimal. Get there before 6pm. Don’t bother going on Tuesdays. Apparently, it’s their sabbath.

I give this place 1 star only because my children don’t understand yet when people are rude! The owners of this place should not do anything that involves children. My nannies have attempted on 3 occasions to bring the kids and enjoy but have ran into rudeness and bad behavior from the owners. Last time was with my mother in law. We live on Coliseum within walking distance but my kids will now go to another bounce house a 10 minute drive away where they are warmly welcomed. I suggest don’t waste your time or money.

My 17 month old got bored with the small toddler area ($ 7) pretty quickly, and it’s not closed in, so she kept running off and trying to climb the big kid stuff. So we thought we’d try the big kid play area (an extra $ 2) but she was too little and it was too crowded with big kids for her to enjoy. I personally felt like $ 7 is a rip-​off for that small toddler area, but I can see how the big kid area could be fun for school aged kids. My friend told me before-​hand to bring socks for me and my child, and thank goodness, because they are required and you will have to buy them there if you don’t bring any! I feel like this place could be a lot nicer, if they put some more umph into it. We wont be back here; The Childrens Museum is 3 minutes away and is much more worth it

So my star score a 3, my kids probably would rank it a 5.
The price to get in, sorta kinda pricey, but worth it. The kids go nuts running in and out of the cushioned obstacle course. The area for the small tots, even bring some pleasure.
There is a snack bar, with juices and water, chips and fruit snacks. But probably cheaper to bring something from home with you.
This is ideally a great place to bring smaller children on rainy days. They even offer a private party area.
However, they need to do some cleaning and some upgrades.

The kids love to play here but the dusty vents literally make me sick. Complained to the staff twice over a span of two months only to be blown off.

Mehhh, this place is just too clustered. They have too many parties going on it once. On a Saturday there will be two or three parties going on at once and walk-​in play. A little too pricey for what it is. They do have snacks for sale which I guess is a good thing. Also the employees are frequently in the climbing play area so that if a child gets scared or can’t get down there’s someone there to help.

I’m going to say this place was a tear saver when it started raining as we were about to go to Cool Zoo. 9 bucks and he’s happy, I’m reading my book and I’m happy. And it was way cheaper than Cool Zoo since I have to pay to get in for both of us even with our membership.

The Monkey Room is a great place for your your kids to play in a contained, fun environment. I saw some of the negative reviews, but most of them seem to be associated with «free play» days. My visit to the MR was for a birthday party, so my experience is limited to the facility’s use under private contract.
The design of the building is very well done and the equipment is specifically made for children and their safety. There are literally zero rough and/​or uncovered edges anywhere that I could see, helping me to feel very comfortable allowing my 3 year old to play freely.
The party area is well done as well, with a small bouncy house and places to set up some food and eat cake. All in all, I was very pleased with our visit to this place and will definitely keep it in mind when my daughter’s birthday roles around next year.
BOTTOM LINE: Safe, fun, contained indoor environment perfect for young, adventerous kids to play.

These people are happy to collect your 10 bucks and sit back and relax while your kid gets trampled! I was told to go ahead and purchase access to «everything» since there are no age requirements for any of their play areas. «As long as your kid is adventurous, s’h/ell be fine. We tell all our kids to be careful». Within 30 seconds of being there, my son was knocked over by a 120lb preteen diving into the entrance of the larger play area. Did anyone seem concerned? No. They were too busy counting their dollar dollar bills.
I made my way to the toddler area — which in hindsight seemed like the obvious place for us to play. Well, there again were 5 – 10 year old jumping and running and diving around — creating a totally dangerous scene for the toddlers who were using the TODDLER PLAY AREA.
Why are there no rules? Why does nobody even pretend to be supervising/​enforcing safety precautions?
This is where you should go if you want to let your 4 – 10 year old run wild. Not where you go if you have small kids or appreciate safety…

I think my wife would have given this place four stars, but I felt it really needed something extra to get that other star. Maybe if they shut down if there was a birthday and/​or posted birthday schedules online, that would be just enough. We ended up going during TWO parties. It was crowded and I felt awkward while we were regulated to a small section of the room not being used by the parties. The kids really enjoyed it though and that is the main thing. If you don’t mind paying 9 bucks a kid for some air conditioned play room, it isn’t a bad spot. I do appreciate the fact you are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks.

This is another place I won’t go back because of clean issues. My child got EXTREMELY sick after we attended a play date here with her friends and other mothers. We are agreed we will not return for health reasons.

As a nanny, I’ve frequented this place a little more often than I’d like to, but that’s not to say this place isn’t great! It’s very clean, for one, which is a rare find for an indoor place filled to the brim with kids. Such places usually tend to smell like urine and/​or mildew. I also like the fact that they have a separate softer play area for babies and tiny tots, in addition to the giant jungle gym that is suited for so many levels of development!
You can bring your own food, drinks, etc plus they have some on hand for sale at the counter. They also have socks you can buy or borrow in case you forgot some for your child! There are «zookeepers» hired to keep an eye on all of the children’s safety as well, which is a huge help for moms or nannies with more than one. These people may or may not be doing their job however, don’t depend on them. You can go up in the gym with the kids if safety becomes an issue or if the little one found some hard to reach, hard to see, nook or cranny!
It’s extremely loud inside with so many children’s mingled screams at the sheer ecstasy of getting their pent up energy out as fast as they possibly can! On top of that they play fun kids music (not the super cheesy stuff though) at really high decibels, which on bad days cuts in and out on certain speakers and greatly adds to the chaos. But all this is worth it when it’s pouring down rain and you need to bring the kid (s) somewhere before they (or you) break something!

The monkey room is an indoor play area for toddlers through around 6 or 7 yr olds. It has slides, tunnels and other play areas. It also has a seperate party area for private parties. Guests can bring their own food, drinks, snacks, etc. Staff is attentive to the safety of the kids. Good for days when there is bad weather or its just too hot to play outside.
