Monkey Joe's

Oh happiness, your name is Monkey Joe's.

We've had several of those inflatables bounce play centers in the area over the past few years. Good fun, the kids wear themselves out jumping, hurling themselves around and sliding down. We had Hayley's seventh birthday party at one as well. However they've always just been in odd locations like extra office spaces, out of the way.

One of my college roommates came to town with her son who wanted to visit the newly opened Monkey Joe's in town. They had one an hour from their home and loved it. Thrilled there was one actually in town, we were happy to go on Saturday.

The bounce playground stuff was great but the real special stuff was the upgrade in terms of stuff for adults. Maybe you all have this stuff locally in your indoor play areas but we didn't until now! Highlights included flat screens TV in various areas at the time playing the Red Sox-yankees game, tons of seating with table space, a concessions stand, a big lounge area with massaging chairs and big TVs - and FREE WI-FI.

Let's see - amusement and snacks for my child plus comfy seats and wi-fi for me? I sure hope my child doesn't grow tired of the place because I think every post I'll ever make again will be from Monkey Joe's.
