Monkey Joe's Opens New Location in Cottleville

Monkey Joe’s, a popular inflatables-filled indoor play and party center for children ages two to 12, bounces into the Cottleville/St. Peters area with its official opening at 4732 Mid Rivers Mall Drive on Friday, April 8, 2016.

“Cottleville is a wonderful, awesome community for Monkey Joe’s. After three years of searching for a site specifically in this community, we feel the growth of the area, the new and established neighborhoods, the number of families with young children and excellent elementary schools, all make this a special location for Monkey Joe’s,” explains Tim Klusas, president of TMA Play, which also operates two other Monkey Joe’s in the St. Louis area. “We hope all of the parents, grandparents, and child care providers in our area will drop by to get a break while their kids burn off some energy, and have fun in an active and healthy way.”

Walk into Monkey Joe’s and you will find a wide-open space with bright décor and wall-to-wall huge walk-in inflatable’s, providing fun in the form of bouncing, sliding and jumping which promotes motor skills, dexterity, and physical activity. With a main play center, Monkey Joe’s is suitable for all kids 12 years-old and younger to play. Monkey Joe’s will also offer more than 20 arcade games, so kids can be kids and play to redeem prizes.

The facility also provides a variety of party packages, group sales, private events and fundraising opportunities. A proven favorite, birthday parties, can accommodate small or large groups. Birthday party packages cover all party needs, including courtesy set-up and clean-up, online invitations for guests, a dedicated Monkey Joe’s party host, drinks, paper plates, cups, tablecloth, utensils, unlimited play and more. Monkey Joe’s party packages allow parents and guests to enjoy the celebration while the host handles preparation and clean up. In addition, Monkey Joe, the brand’s mascot and a fan favorite, makes an appearance at all birthday parties and throughout the facility during the day.

“There is something for every child at Monkey Joe’s,” continues Klusas. “According to the Center for Disease Control, a child should get at least 60 minutes of exercise per day. At Monkey Joe’s, children can engage in physical activity while parents enjoy watching them have fun.”

All Monkey Joe’s locations have committed to full jump sanitation from Swisher Hygiene, the country’s leading provider of commercial hygiene services. The service is intended to reduce exposure to germs and cross-contamination for all who visit Monkey Joe’s, making it a clean environment for play. Monkey Joe's has also developed its own Access Child Control System (ACCS) to create a safe environment for kids to play and provide parents piece of mind. Children receive arm bands matching them to their parent. These arm bands are adhered from the minute the child steps into Monkey Joe’s, and are checked by Monkey Joe’s employees upon exiting the facility.

“Safety and cleanliness for the families who enjoy our facilities is a top priority. From the time our guests enter and are processed through the SACCS to when they play on the first inflatable, we strive to offer peace of mind to parents by offering the highest standards of safety and cleanliness,” explains Candice Kelley, Director of Training for Monkey Joe’s.

With more than 50 locations nationwide, Monkey Joe’s has proven to be a fun concept for kids. “We’re excited about Monkey Joe’s success and contribute it to the core values of the brand – extensive corporate support and finding the perfect franchisee partners,” continues Kelley. “Monkey Joe’s is a unique concept that strives to combine fun, family and exercise in a safe and clean environment.”
