Bouncy Play Place has this Attleboro Mom Jumping for Joy!

As the weather is getting nicer I have been able to let my boys outside to play more. However, there have also been some frequent rainy days that have kept them indoors. Now I, as much as them, do not like to stay inside. The first reason is because my house gets destroyed, and second because boys are meant to play outdoors. Unfortunately, some days require indoor play and so we have to have a backup plan.

I have been hearing buzz about a new kids play place just over the border in  on South Washington Street in North Attleboro and I had to check it out. I will look for anything to help occupy my boys! The place is called “Monkey Joes” and right now it’s the place to be. For my fellow moms, it’s in the DSW plaza across from the Emerald Square Mall.

North Attleboro residents, Pamela and Daniel Franciscus, opened up the Georgia-based franchise just two weeks ago. Pamela, a mother of three, came up with the idea after feeling there was not enough play places or birthday facilities in the area. Having spending her career in financial services for 21 years, she began to research places to play and came upon the Monkey Joes franchise. She soon brought it to her husband who in return did further research before giving her the "ok" to move forward.

“I wanted to make it a place where parents also wanted to come” Franciscus said. A parent’s room is included in the facility where they can hook up to the Internet or watch the news while the children play–It’s a place for all."

Monkey Joes also is a birthday party facility so you can book a date and basically leave the rest up to them. The children will have two hours in a private party suite and feel like a king or queen of the jungle. If you really loving jumping around, the location is open seven days a week for open play on the indoor inflatables.

I participated on an open play day and my boys mouths dropped as soon as we walked in the door. I couldn’t pay and get their bands on fast enough. They were running so fast to get into the next bouncer. Let’s just say it was a good thing there was rubber on the floor. I was able to make my way around and still keep an eye on them. It made for a happy rainy day of play and a better afternoon of naps from being worn out.

The facility as big as it is, and as convenient, is affordable to the average parent. Adults are free, and children under two are only $5 anyone over that is $9. If you find yourself going on a regular basis they have a frequent user card that costs $70.00 for 10 admissions. Something I would consider, especially in the winter months.

My boys are already asking to go back! I love knowing I have more options for my boys. My friends were also willing to meet me there and allow their children to channel their energy out on the bouncy houses!
