Monkey Joe's in West Des Moines Announces New Ownership

Monkey Joe’s, a popular inflatables-filled indoor play and party center located at 1600 Valley West Drive in West Des Moines, announces that residents Kishor Bhatia and Hitesh Kapadia are joining the children’s entertainment facility as new local owners.

“We are thrilled to take ownership of the Monkey Joe’s in West Des Moines,” explains Kishor Bhatia, co-owner of West Des Moines’ Monkey Joe’s. “It’s rare to find a family-friendly destination that provides a clean, safe space for kids to get active while parents watch nearby. Monkey Joe’s is a great opportunity to provide safe, family fun to our local community.”

Walk into Monkey Joe’s and you will find a 14,000 square foot space with bright décor and wall-to-wall inflatable’s, providing fun in the form of bouncing, sliding and jumping. With a main play center and a separate Mini Monkey Zone for toddlers two and under, Monkey Joe’s is suitable for all kids 12 years-old and younger.

“According to the CDC, the recommended amount of exercise a child should get per day is 60 minutes. West Des Moines is a city that has significant shifts in weather conditions from season to season and it is not always possible for kids to play outside throughout the year,” said co-owner Kapadia. “Monkey Joe’s is the perfect solution as it provides a fun indoor option for the whole family to get moving.”

Monkey Joe’s also provides a variety of party packages, group sales and fundraising opportunities. A proven favorite, birthday parties, can accommodate small and large groups. Birthday party packages cover all your party needs, including courtesy set-up and clean-up, invitations for your guests, a dedicated party host, drinks, paper plates, cups, and utensils.

All Monkey Joe’s locations have committed to full jump sanitation from Swisher Hygiene, the country’s leading provider of commercial hygiene services. Monkey Joe’s has also developed its own Access Child Control System (SACCS) to create a safe environment for kids to play and parents piece of mind. Children receive wristbands matching them to their parent. These wristbands are adhered from the minute the child steps into Monkey Joe’s, and are checked by Monkey Joe’s employees upon exiting the facility.

The Wes Des Moines Monkey Joe’s is located at 1600 Valley West Drive, Suite 100. Operating hours are Monday - Saturday, 10am – 8pm and Sunday 11am – 6pm. The store phone number is 515-223-5867.
