It's a Jungle in Here


Today we went to Mona Kid's Jungle. It's an indoor play area where you pay to play, 900 yen for 2 hours. There are a lot of hamster-type tubes to play in a couple of ball pits, some slides and a nice place for parents to sit and contemplate life while their kids run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
We went with the Broom family. Gabriella, Mallory and Zach all had a great time, Rachel and I are considering putting it in regular rotation in our activities around the island. Gabi and Mallory even found some kids to play with while we were there. Two hours was the perfect amount of time, it tired all the kids out and if it were longer I think some may have fallen asleep in the ball pit.  
The kids had a great time, the parents had a little bit of leisure time. In fact they provide magazines for the parents to read, although we didn't partake because they were in Japanese.  The whole set up was great, all the activities are in one area, you can watch the kids from anywhere in the seating area and of course it's fun. Gabriella was able to go on everything by herself, even the zip line. They had a great roller slide (which is pictured above) and a lot of little towers to climb on. They also have a ton of vending machines, one which served cup of noodles. I had a cafe au lait and got Gabi a Miso cup of noodles that she ate when we got back home. I didn't want to waste any of her playtime eating lunch. 
The place was great, we will go back again soon.

  1. Sounds like another good time had by all. How many play parks did you say where there? I expect to see them all recorded here.

  2. Hi Therese! I'm so glad you've decided to start this blog - I can't wait to hear about all of your zany adventures (while being Safety Driver of course). Glad to hear you're not crying yourself to sleep on your huge pillow (that cracked me up, BTW. I had to shout, "Head, pants, now!").
    KIT, BFF! :)
