\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Little Monkey Bizness is a fantastic place to let your little one\u2019s climb, jump, dance, and roam. Your kids can play in a fully-enclosed area with soft floors, safety-padding, age-appropriate play equipment. The coffee bar\u00a0 is an added plus for parents in need of a caffeine boost. Your children will leave happy and exhausted, while you will leave energized. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Overall we like Little Monkey Bizness because:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Ages:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Admission:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Hours:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Open Play Times:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Play Equipment<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Little Monkey Bizness is geared toward younger kids, ages 1 month to 8 years. The play area is fully enclosed with padded play equipment. Parents will still need to watch their children, but the set-up and safety system allows for more freedom than an outdoor park. Please watch<\/strong> your kids! It is a safe place where they can not run away, but be sure to keep them in your sight and ensure they are playing nicely with others. On the more crowded days, we have seen kids get pushed or kicked (normal toddler stuff) without a reprimand from a parent. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The younger children will have a chance to maneuver:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>All of the elevated play areas are enclosed with netting \u2013 so there is not need to worry about kids falling from high areas. However, a few spots can be tricky \u2013 parents may need to \u201crescue\u201d littler ones.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dance Floor and Tree House:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There is also a dance floor with mirrors, so kids can watch themselves dance and play. They provide costumes for kids to dress up in. They also have a variety of books for the little ones that are tired of running. \u00a0<\/span>Next to the dance floor, is a small tree house climber. Here, younger kids can crawl through the tunnels or use it to balance while walking. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For Young Babies and Crawlers:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Off of the snack area, there is a separate fully-enclosed space for small babies and crawlers. Here, young ones can climb or sit in soft, padded play equipment. You do not have to worry about them getting \u201crun\u201d over by the older kids. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Art Room:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There is also a separate room for art-based activities. The art supplies are provided at no extra charge. \u00a0<\/span>Here, kids can put on a smock, sit in \u201ckid-sized\u201d chairs and tables, and create art. Kids can: <\/span><\/p>\n You have to gather and clean up the art supplies yourself. Most of the supplies are very \u201cwell used.\u201d So, if your child insists on crayons with a tip or unmixed paints \u2013 you may be digging for a while. Or, if your kid has a short attention span (like mine), you may not want to spend the time setting up. So, we suggest letting them draw on the chalk board. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Snacks and Drinks:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There is an area dedicated to food and drink with lots of tables. NO outside food or drinks are allowed (except sippy cups). They sell: <\/span><\/p>\n Insider Tips:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For older kids, check out Monkey Bizness. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n
