Afternoon @ Monkey joes

Today Angelo and I checked out Monkey Joes in Pottstown in Pottstown, PA. Maya had the experience yesterday and for a soon to be preschooler she appeared to have a great time with her playmate. For the toddler to preschool age they offer two moon bounces in the Mini Monkey Zone and two vehicles the kids can ride using 2 tokens. Maya was not impressed with the vibrating race car, she jumped in and then out. It will be interesting to hear Angelo's comments. I am updating my post from one of the two PC stations, there are two flat screen tvs and WiFi service available, Also two massage chairs(for a fee of course) that range in price from $1(3mins)-$5(15mins). There is also a snack bar that offers hot dogs, pizza, pretzels,

beverages and an assortment of snacks. No outside food or drinks are allowed. For the older kids there are 4 different moon bounces and a few arcade games. Well the verdict is in, Angelo enjoyed the 2 hours however he felt there should be more arcade games. He enjoyed the moon bounces but at his age he prefers more hands on games........ This may be a good rainy day place to go to in pinch......

Monkey joe's - Pottstown, PA

My daughter's 3rd birthday is around the corner (well in November). It never hurts to plan ahead as this will be her 1st official birthday party with friends and family. Most of the places I have checked out were not appropriate for my soon to be preschooler and for some reason I am not a fan of Chuck E. Cheese(Sorry!). It's amazing how places are in your backyard and all it takes to discover is a ride in the country to find it. I passed the shopping center and realized it was a place for kids so I did some research and found name Monkey joe's. It's a franchise owned center that offers multiple activities for the 2-12 age group. If you are interested in relaxing while your kids are playing, they offer an an adult lounge with high speed wireless internet, flat screen tv and computer stations.

I like the safety guidelines followed at each location:

*Clean and well-lit play areas supervised by our trained staff
*Sanitized inflatable surfaces by Swisher Hygiene, eliminating up to 99.9 percent of most common germs
*Certified jumps with safety mats at all jump entrances and exits
*Video monitoring and identity bracelets that tell us who is in our play centers
*Designated play areas for kids 2-12 years-old, featuring jumps, slides, climbing walls, and games
*Mini Monkey Zone for 3 year-olds and younger featuring games, puzzles, and soft landing areas so you can easily supervise your little ones
*Our SACCS Access Child Control Program makes Monkey Joe's the safest kids play facility in the business.

From the website I think it is perfect for a preschool birthday party. For the Crazy 8 package (8 kids) on a Saturday or Sunday, the price is $189.00 and $10.99 for each additional child. + the cost of Pizza(sold by the box of 12 slices). I think I found a winner! I may check it out as a playdate location next week; if so I will post the pictures. If this is the party destination selected I will post pictures and comments.....
