Monkey Joe’s

This place is absolute garbage! First time at monkey joes and literally my 3 year old couldn’t do anything, we were there for 10 minutes and left to go to chuckie cheese. The rules for adults helping their children are ridiculous! The owners should really reconsider the way they are running this place. I could only assist him in the toddler area which included one tiny bounce house with nothing but a little slide, and a play area which everything was broken down. On the bigger bounce houses I was not able to even help him find the stairs for the slide! I’m not saying me go ON the slide just literally step foot inside so he won’t be scarred! I was told that the coach could go with him but he would not go with a stranger. Literally everything we asked if we could do the worker had to ask management and management turned down all of our requests! I asked for a refund of my money considering we were there for 10 minutes and the lady said no because the child played! The child played for about 7 minutes in a play area with toys which didn’t even turn on! Will never come back to this place and definitely never recommending this place to anyone.

Apparently parents are no longer «allowed» to go into the bounce houses with their toddlers. Well, that just made my four groupons worthless. Won’t be coming back here for a long time. Would rather go to an honest business than one with such volatile rules.

This place gets worse by the visit. Half of the arcade is out of service. The inflatables are old and ripping causing serious friction burn. As much as they promote how clean it is — look at the spider webs in all the corners and on air conditioning ducting… And then there are the roaches.
Emergency exit doors DEADBOLTED and water and mud seeping under threshold and onto equipment.

The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves.
It’s a fun place for the kids but you really need to think about taking out a second mortgage on your house to have enough cash to have fun.
Don’t plan on eating there either.
A tiny pizza that would feed 3 kids is $ 16.00 and 4 small slushies are $ 12.00.
The game rooms work 50% of the time and none of the employees can help unless the manager is involved.
We used to love this place but something happened. New management? Bad training? Something.
We won’t go back.

Dont know where my original post went do I’ll be short. Firstly, the staff are zombie like… dont know anything. Theyre there to collect a paycheck, thats it. They dont care about whats going on past the counter. Also, NO adults allowed on slides which i understand but they should have staff working there in case. The front door is right by thr slides so you need to follow your child from slide to slide… its clean, but also empty today. I’d come back but wish the staff was more helpful and hands on. Oh and some of the rides seemed dangerous with the hole & wires within reach of small kids

Very busy for a Friday night. Otherwise it looks pretty clean and the staff is nice. We came for a birthday party and it was set up nicely

Went here this past Friday it was clean but didn’t have as much stuff as they make it out to be also there were older kids in the toddler area and no one said anything to them it seemed like they didn’t have enough people to watch all the people there the plus side is it was extremely clean. Not sure if I will go back

Today was my first visit to Monkey Joe’s in Sunrise and my initial impression was that it was very large and seemed very clean. I have two small kids (18 months and 3 years) and they had a good time.
There were some things that made it less than «perfect» … like broken (big cars missing wheels) and non-​working (no batteries) toys in the toddler area and too many expensive non-​working arcade type games (no fun for anyone). Nothing I haven’t seen at all of these types of places before though…
I had the fortunate experience of it being VERY empty when we went, so that made it even better for of shy couple little ones.
The manager seemed very nice and seemed to care about his place, which counts for a lot in my book. I would definitely go back and tell friends to meet me there. Thanks for a nice morning Monkey Joe’s!

My son loves this place! We never have any issues when coming here. It looks like they revamped the arcade area and made it bigger… very nice :) They were also having a buy one get one free admission special

It’s a nice place and I like that there are areas for toddlers and areas for older children. It was the perfect place to take my 2 year-​old and my niece (6) and nephew (8). They have bounce houses for 3 and under only, which I liked. I also like that parents are allowed to go in with the younger ones. That’s good for the psycho moms like myself that worry and cannot handle being out of sight of their child. The game area could use a serious make-​over though. After about 3 hours we were done and ready to go. It would be nice if they offered healthier food options as well.

Best time for open play is early Saturday mornings. Love taking my girls there and letting them run wild and bounce around in a temperature controlled area full of bounce houses with slides. If you get there early enough it’s pretty empty except for the occasionally early birthday party. As a parent you can sit there pretty much worry free and even surf the net on your iPad if you’d like. We go early and leave by lunch. Im a fan!

I don’t get all of the 5 star reviews. I’ve had the great misfortune of going here several times over the past couple of years for birthday parties. It’s dirty, half of the game machines don’t work, the staff is barely going through the motions, and overall the vibe is just lame. There are definitely better options in the vicinity if you google it.

Our almost 2yo son had a blast running, jumping, climbing and bouncing all over the place. It was rainy today and we were looking for something different to do indoors. It was a Tuesday so it wasn’t too busy since the older kids were still in school, so there were children close to his age to play with. I’m sure later in the day/​evening and on weekends it’s a zoo, but I totally recommend it for anyone looking for some indoor fun. We went to the MJ’s in Boca.

My son recently attended a birthday party at Monkey Joe’s, and I was pretty impressed. I have been to these bounce house places in Texas, and the parents let their children run wild and the staff would *never* pay any attention to the kids on the slides or the bounce houses. Fortunately, this place is different.
In addition to the staff in the front when you check in, there are staff members all over the place in the back near the slides and such. They actually try to enforce the rules so no one gets hurt, unlike some of the other places. I also appreciated that the staff was friendly and courteous, and never acted as if they were annoyed by all the kids. Yes, I know it is their job to be nice, but we have been to other places where they always seemed to be put out by the kids. Not kidding.
I like the wristband system a lot, so you don’t have to worry about your child being taken out by anyone else. They have plenty of seating for adults and free wifi. They even have pizza, hot dogs, and other foods for sale.
As for the party, I thought it was great. The staff handed out the pizza, the drinks, and the food for the adults. I loved that even ‘Monkey Joe’ stopped by to greet the kids. My son had a great time, and asked if he could have his birthday party there.
We will definitely return for their open play hours, and consider holding his birthday party at Monkey Joe’s.

I totally love this place and how friendly everyone is. I had a party here for my daughter recently and was very impressed on how these young teenagers were so helpful and organized. They completely ran the party from start to finish and no one came out crying, the children i mean. lol I also appreciate how clean it is all the time and the price is pretty good too. Definitely a nice place to let your kids roam free and use up all of their energy!

Great place to take the little kids to expel energy, especially if you buy the 10 visit pass. Weekend visits tend to be a bit hectic, due to the large number of kids, so make the trip during a weeknight to avoid the frustration /​excess noise.

This place is a huge wear house and they have like 3 or 4 different bounce houses, but the really long ones. They have two that are bigger for older kids and there is also one for smaller kids. it’s $ 7.99 per kid from 3 years and up, 2 years and under are $ 5.00. Adults are free. they sale pizza, ice cream, sodas, etc… the kids really like it. One time we went during the summer and it was raining so hard, the power went out and everybody was screaming the Bounce house started to deflate, and we were so scare that the kids were going to get stuck under this massive bounce house. but after 2 min. the power came back it was fine, nobody got hurt. They should have power back up in case of emergencies.

I went there for a birthday party. It has a room full of great bounce houses, mazes, video games, and food. You can go for an unlimited time to bounce for a cheap fee or for a party. It is a great way to have kids burn off energy, especially on a rainy day!!! I highly recommend that you try it.
