Monkey Joes

My 3 year old loves this place. It is great on school days as there is hardly anyone inside. Several inflatables to bounce on and slides. It’s very clean and the bathrooms are clean as well. Reasonably priced to spend a few hours tiring out your kids ($ 4 for my 3 year old with a military discount). We also love their coke icees ($ 1.93 including tax for the kids cup). All around great fun and they do armbands keeping track of kids leaving with the correct adults.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my children because they love this place!
We only go once a year for their cousins’ birthday celebration, and each year it gets better and better for them.
During our last visit, we arrived just before 3pm, and left just before 8pm. My children enjoyed themselves so much, they didn’t want to leave! They still had energy to burn!
Definitely a go to place for just general fun and/​or birthday celebrations for the children!

Loved the place. Kids had a blast. Well be going there again. Prime were nice. And it was clean. Also if ur kids happen to go in sandles, they give u free socks for them. (Everyone needs to. wear socks) if getting in the jumpers.

If you like to deal with someone else’s unruly children, this is a place for you. I took my son there and never again. My son enjoyed it until the older kid pulled his sweater off. It is at your own risk. Rambunctious children at work.

It really saddens me that I have to write a bad review of MJ’s as I have been a loyal and weekly customer for quite some time, but the place has gotten so filthy in the past year. I have turned a blind eye to the dust and Band-​Aids inside the jumps out of sheer desperation. Not many options in Augusta on a rainy day for a restless toddler, and I think they take advantage of the fact that they are the only bounce house place in town.
I am by no means a «clean freak” — but today when I had to go get a manager to CLEAN UP BLOOD from a slide today– I lost my shit.
I have complained to management TWICE about the cleanliness and she (and an ASST. Manager) ASSURED me that they would take care of it. FALSE!
I have not been into MJ’s for a few weeks, and came today to find it just as dirty as when I complained.
Here is just a few gems that I have found in the jumps:
–A Bloodstain (yay) on the slide. Kid after kid just sliding over it– my kid included! VOM!
–And endless supply of barrettes and hairclips. (The SAME ONES in the SAME SPOT week after week).
–Layers upon layers of caked on dust (which is falling from the rafters: «We just don’t know what to do about that» said the employee today. HOWBOUT EFFING CLEAN IT! Hire a company! Which he says to me as I am staring at the sign that says that I can «rest assured knowing that my child is protected by Swisher Sanitizer services».
I work in a facility that uses this service. I’m guessing they haven’t paid for this service in a year (it is pricey). I’m guessing they have the staff Spot-​Clean with spray bottles once in a while, or when a kid pukes or poops.
–Band Aid upon Band-​Aid… And THE SAME ONES WEEK AFTER WEEK IN THE SAME SPOT. I took cell pics on my phone. Same damn Band-​Aid in the same damn spot wedged in between a weave clump of hair and a drinking straw. Still. There. Week. After. Week.
— Various coins. (Choking hazard, anyone??)
— And here is my All-​Time Fave: A Fentanyl patch. That’s right, a Narcotic patch just chilling in the Jump. A TRANSDERMAL PATCH THAT A KID COULD JUST TOUCH AND HAVE NARCOTICS IN THEIR SYSTEM. Now, I realize that that is not MJ’s fault that adults come in and assist their kids on the jumps… stuff falls out of their pockets, shit happens. However, it absolutely necessary that they check their jumps hourly.
The rest of the place, is actually pretty tidy!
Clean common area, and the bathrooms have always been clean. I guess that is why they have gotten away without cleaning the Jumps for so long. No one really looks closely. But that is the thing: You don’t have to LOOK for the dirt. I am kicking dust bunnies the size of tumbleweeds out of the way when I sit in the jump. (slight exaggeration, but not by much!)
So I am very frustrated. I HATE having to write a bad review about any place, but this is seriously becoming a public health concern. Today when we got home– we both changed our clothes and took a shower. I just felt so dirty and grossed out! Not the feeling you want to have when you just patronize a business.

We have continued going to monkey Joes and it continues to be a hit with the kids. The staff is great. They are attentive to the safety of the children and very courteous. My sons love the «huge slide» and the pizza. If you have young children, they also have a nice play area set aside just for toddlers and smaller kids.

Absolutely the best place to go when you need to drain some energy out of your child and you want to beat the heat! It’s super duper cheap, they give military discounts, and they have several jump jumps and slides for children to play on. When you and your child arrive they provide matching wrist bands for you and your little one. I love this because regardless if your child is in and out of the jumps or not, your child is not getting out of that door without that matching wristband. They also have several very amicable employees on the floor assisting by watching the children and making sure kids aren’t getting too rough, etc. Overall a wonderful experience with Monkey Joe’s we will certainly be back and thus far I have zero complaints!

We’ve come here a few times and its a pretty nice bounce place. Its always clean and you can also have a birthday party here (they have rooms to the side of the play areas).
