Great for kids 7-8 and younger. I mean it accommodates kids a little older but they tend to get bored much quicker than the younger kids. The staff usually make sure that the kids take turns going down and its not a free for all which is a great thing. We had a birthday party there as well and it went really well. The staff looked after us wonderfully. I believe they serve papa johns pizza also...

We have a little tot that loves this place. Where else can you go kill an hour for $5? We hosted a guest family here also, and got some food. The service is friendly, and the food is good. We like the way they are so good with little kids. They will kindly ask older kids not to bounce on the ones that are for younger kids. They do have a program for frequent guests that makes it even cheaper. And Tuesdays are just $4.

Monkey Joes is a wonderful place for the little kids. If you want a fun, safe and family friendly environment, then they are it. The sad part is, on 31 December 2019, Monkey Joes will close their doors for good. Now what will us toddler parents do...

Its been awhile since Ive been to this location. Last time I went adults were allowed to assist their kids on the bounce houses. Not sure what happened to make them change that but my child sometimes gets scared on/in the bounce houses and needs me. I was told if my 1yo could manage the bounce house on his own, I didnt need to get on. Hes one. Just started walking. REALLY. Had an employee hovering over us the whole time as we went to each bounce house like we were going to get on even though they have signs posted everywhere. I think the main issue was that same employee grabbing my 4yo.This location is trash. Went to one in Savannah and they were wonderful.I will definitely be making the drive out to Megaplay from now on.

Great place for the kids to burn off energy on hott days or for birthday parties..

Nice place for the little ones and good for the parents no mess to clean up.

Love it! I love that they have more staff on the floor then mega play. Food is better. My kids loved it! Definitely going back. There’s lots of bounce houses and an arcade area. Seating are for parents is tables near the bounce houses. Very friendly staff

Great place for the kids to have lots of fun.

Nice place for kids. Friendly staff. Not so many things to play, but no more choices in Fayetteville

My kids absolutely adore this place every time I ask them where they want to go they say Mommy I want to go to Monkey Joes

As long as my little one is entertained, engaged and happy I am satisfied. Great for allowing the like ones to exert their energy.

My 2 year old always has a blast here. The employees enforce the age groups so there arent older kids trampling over your child in the toddler area. Its always clean when we go and you can see employees walking around with rags wiping everything down. However, the the toys where the chalkboards are could use a good cleaning. The man who runs Monkey Joes is very nice and cared about our feedback when we went. We will be returning!

They were so strict about everything. When i saw the old man talking to my kids i asked him what was wrong and he said they were told 4 times not to jump over the slide and that they would have to leave if they were not going to listen.Then he was telling my kids keep going! on an obstacle one even tho there was no other kids inside so i asked him why?he says i dont want other kids to fall on them or get hurt if it gets to full. so i said i understand but there was no kids behind them or inside at all! His answer well thats not how that works!dont go if hes there.your kids wont enjoy it as much.

What a fun place for kids! You just turn them loose and let them play, and its all about physical activity. I had never been, but we brought our grandkids there (with their parents) at Christmas time, and wow! They were having a great time. My only complaint? The grownups arent allowed to play on the equipment with their kids. The place was clean, the staff was, for the most part, enthusiastic and helpful, and really seemed to enjoy watching the kids play and helping them if necessary. Youd have to really love spending time with young children to work here! I will be suggesting this spot for birthday parties for my grandchildren!

I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the place. Saw employees clean down individual jump stations with wipes and dust them. The restrooms were clean and every table was wiped. My child had a great time and its easy to see all stations at once, so great if you have multiple children. I came on a weekday morning so it was nice that hardly anyone was there.

Facility is clean, staff friendly and observant (making sure the rules are followed but not in an overbearing way), plenty of choices to burn energy and have a great time(Also theres a small arcade and carousel)

My 7yr old daughter had a great time here! Theres a separate area for little ones to play away from the bigger kids. Staff are present watching the kids on the inflatables when parents are not. There should be a no running in the building rule enforced. I saw two kids get knocked down by other kids running around playing tag or something. Wed go back again though.

My kids had a great time here however there was a woman who Im going to assume is the owner that continually followed my husband around to tell him that he was playing too rough with our daughter in the bouncy house. I was in the bouncy house the entire time and not once did I feel he was being too rough. My daughter wasnt crying she was having a blast. The second time it happened an employee there reassured us that they have been there for less than a year and do not like how controlling they are and that they didnt understand why she told us he was being too rough when she was right there watching the entire time and didnt agree. I might go back there one more time but if I get the same kind of treatment than I know to take my business elsewhere

Do not waste your time or money. I left this location in tears this morning. The owner, Roy, was incredibly rude to me. I was in one of the bounce houses helping my 4 year old son up the steps to the slide when Roy approached me and very rudely told me to get out and adults aren’t allowed in the bounce house. That’s fine, I wasn’t aware of the rules as it was my first time there. Then he continued to badger me about it to the point that I was in tears. All I wanted to do was help my son up the steps. I am appalled at how we were treated. We were the only ones there at the time. Also, as soon as we got there he was following our kids around watching them, which made me feel very uneasy in the first place. Do NOT give these people your money. Only good thing I have to say is the woman behind the counter was very nice and understanding.

Place is getting rundown, games rarely work, grumpy old man picks and chooses which kids he tells to get moving...used to be much nicer and a great place, but in the last 3 years has declined DRASTICALLY...

Nice and clean space. The staff was very attentive and helpful, price was very good. This facility can’t both my boys well entertained . I would definitely recommend this place to my friends children 12 and under.

Grate plase mi mom broght me here one day and it wis fan

Zero stars should be a rating! Parents please don’t let your children work here and please for the safety of your young children don’t take them here! First off this is not just a disgruntled employee or parent of an employee review! My child was a employee, this was her first job. Being so I tried to teach my child the proper way to communicate with her employer. From the beginning she did not know what was expected of her. I tried to let her figure things out on her own because it’s a part of growing up. After repeatedly hear the comments the manager was saying to my child I had to step in. As a manager it is their job to run a happy atmosphere, every time I go up there the workers look scared to breathe. The manager greets you aggressively at the door... if you don’t like dealing with people this is not the business for you. They are nit picky to the point that my child didn’t know what to do or how to act because every time she made a move to do something she was in trouble. The manager always felt that my daughter didn’t want to work so I felt like she was a target from the beginning! When told to clean the bathrooms she was in trouble for taking to long to clean because it should only take 10-15 mins to clean both bathrooms (my daughter is a meticulous cleaner). They would forget to let her take a break so she would ask and apparently asking meant that you didn’t want to work there so last night they let her go! They have no system for breaks so someone worked over 6 hours yesterday without a break! Lastly I don’t think they clean the bouncy houses as my daughter was always sick.

The place overall was great kids had a ball and the staff was excellent except management the lady sunny was very rude and disrespectful overall i would attend monkeyjoes agian just not the fayttevile location not a good location for a first time monkey joe experience

This place is to pricey for nothing I could have blew up bouncy houses at my house and had pizza with lemonade. Definitely not worth the money. Only 6 games literally !! Not a happy customer plus the ppl who host the party was late and made us rush our happy birthday song to my son NEVER GOING BACK !! Dont Go here.

Great for kids but not great if you’re trying to get your child to try something new on their own. We couldn’t help my son when he was stuck on the inflatables and show him how to do it because adults were not allowed on. He got frustrated and eventually gave up. We might try again later if he makes a friend.

Have loved it from day one for my daughter. Ill be sad when it closes.

This place is an absolute JOKE! we went there today, and ROY is such an awful person. He was EXTREMELY rude to all of us and watching our 4 year olds like a hawk basically finding things to nit pick at them for- mind you there was not a single person in there but us. He got very rude and is a liar. This location will go down. he should not be running a “kid friendly” business. This was our first time there, and it will be our last. He made my friend cry because of how extremely rude he was to her, and we didn’t even have our children there for 30 minutes before we were so disgusted at his attitude, we had to leave. If i were you, i would not waste your time or money on this business. very unprofessional and VERY rude. My friend went into one of the floats to HELP her child get up onto the slide, and Roy made the biggest effort to come over there and demand that she get out because she was not aloud in there, and he stated that if her child couldn’t get up there he needed to go play on something else, so she got out and said she understood and his remark was “APPARENTLY NOT.” that’s all i have to say right now. a corporate call has been made, and hopefully will be dealt with.

Great place for kids to get there energy out while having a very reasonable price, with a courteous staff. I would recommend Monkeys Joes. My only concern is that some of the machines did not operate, thankfully the staff was quick to help.

I had my daughters birthday party there this month and was horrible. The hostess spent most of her time out front talking to coworkers instead of hosting the party. I had to find the hostess to start the party and to serve. She did not interact with the kids. She brought the ice cream well after the cake was served. She had a horrible attitude. She also brought the gift bags 5 min before the end of the party so several kids didnt get it. The place smelled horrible when we first walked in. I definitely did not get the service that I played too much for.

Was having a okay time until racist Roy approached us about chips that was being fed to our toddler (not even 3). He totally bypassed a lady who was eating cheetos. He claims that she bought them them there but clearly there isnt any chips behind the counter. When pointed to another lady who was feeding her children Veggie Chips he stated that he wasnt going to say anything to them because she had little kids let it be known that we was the only people of color and the other ladies were white. Avoid at all cost. Totally appalled at the treatment at this establishment.

Very fun place for kids. Very inexpensive. Great for parents that have a few kids. Cheaper than the movie theater

Nice place but no air conditioning. With all those bounce houses there was no cool air blowing

If I could give it a zero I would. DISGUSTING establishment! There is a section for young children full of soft play mats that is just dirty, ripped and torn. I lifted one and underneath was just TRASH, coins and lots of other choking hazards. There are also 2 arcade type games which is so silly considering you pay to get in and now I have today for my child to play a dumb game?There are exposed cords, wires and plugs all around that area which is just incredibly ridiculous considering every ones knows how attractive that is to a young child. I was constantly ahead of my son picking up trash, eaten candy, moving him away from the plugs with wires hanging out. I left after about 10 minutes. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. DONT GO! They need to shut down ASAP! I cant even understand why a parent would take their kids there after 1 visit.

I hate this place is going out of business. My son loves it!!

Worse place in Fayetteville to bring a kid thats younger then five. They will charge you for the kid but not allow you to get in the bounce house or the slides with the child. Do you really think a 2 year old wants to do those things by themselves? And there are no refunds! So I literally walked in paid, found out I couldnt do anything and walked out.

Disappointment is a understatement. I had my daughter‘s seventh birthday party here this past weekend and it was despicable. The host for the party was poorly trained over worked and very stressed out. From the looks of it she was fairly new. Everything was going good until it was time for the food to come out, this is the same food that I ordered two weeks prior to my party. There was not enough pizza to feed my kids at the party. She told me that the manager said just give my party what they had and she was going to get more pizza. I had kids at my party yelling and screaming that they were hungry wondering where their Pizza was. While the other half of my party with eating. I asked the girl how long would it take for the rest of the kids to get food and she told me as soon as the manager gets back with the pizza they would be able to eat. The children did not get their food until 30 minutes before the party was over we only had two hours to do everything which nothing was done that was supposed to be done in that time frame. we were is not even able to open my daughters gifts. we were rushed out of our room and wind up still paying over $300. When I spoke to the manager about how disappointed I was with Service and the food and the poor time management she was not listening to anything that I was saying she was over talking me telling me that she would just take off the pizzas which came up to $39 being taken off my total bill.This place is not only a rip-off it is not clean and the food that they supposed to have is through another company that they have to pickup Shows very poor planning . They are not clean either. None of the food was hot or fresh my kids barely got the ice cream that I paid for and every body in that store is poorly trained.The only thing the store did right was take my money! This establishment was dirty and had a horrible smell. Never again will I even drive by let alone have another party at that place I don’t care if it’s a monkey Joe’s in another country they will never receive any of my business ever again!

Great place for kids to jump and parents to hang out while kids play.

Grandson has been here for the past two hours and for my time he is a tired little boy.

My grandson had a great time.

Excellent indoor fun for the little ones... Bring socks!

Very nice people to take your kids

Clean, safe, and fun! The 3 and under area is great for the little ones, and there are multiple larger inflatables for the older kids. Theres also an arcade area

A little overwhelming at first but keeps the staff on their toes and our family enjoys every visit.

It was not worth the money. Some of the workers were rude and you could tell they hated their job. The kids enjoyed it though.

My son loves the place. The price is reasonable and the staff are usually very friendly. They change out the inflatables often enough to keep things interesting.

My grandson loved this place. We went on Toddler Tuesday which is only $4! He played for hours.

Great place to take your kids, especially on those days where you need to burn their energy. Friendly staff, free WiFi, and massage chairs. Lots of blocks, bounce houses, and arcade style games that earn your kids points to get prizes. Marcos Pizza is also available!

Great place for children under 12 to have fun and run off some energy.

Hate this place! Its filthy and disgusting. It is never wiped down or cleaned. My son got hand foot and mouth from here. Also all they offer is pizza and frozen soft pretzels. Not outside food allowed.

Took my grandson to Monkey Joes today (Tuesday) and it was less than $5.00. Tuesday is toddler day so he can play for as long as he wants at a great price. Its good for those cold or rainy days.

My girls, 6 and 7, love this place.

Great family place, affordable, and wonderful staff.

Great prices for kid fun, the manager was so friendly, my son got hurt on one of the slide due to being a 5 year old, while I was playing with my 2 year old in the toddler area and she came to me explaining that my son got hurt, the fact that she knew I was his mom made me love this place ten times more because we were just another $ sign walking in, in the first place. Oh and their pizza is off the chain! So yummy! Will return again and again!

My kids love it but its a lil overwhelming they have young people who have to watch the equipment as kid jumps but they are not too friendly they mostly have attitudes. I get it your standing up all day bored watching kids play hut at least try to interact and be the fun guy/girl

Super friendly staff. Very clean and fun place for our kiddos to play.

My sisters son had a birthday party there and the workers were rude.The monkey came 20 mins. before we left and they tried to say one of the kids who were 13 couldnt go help his 2 yr. Old sister on the bouncy house.But it was fun .

Y grandkids had a ball.. The service was great and friendly.

Pros: Staff member at every station. Staff were gentle but firm in making kids follow the rules.Cons: We went on a Saturday afternoon. It was extremely crowded. Bigger children were running over the younger children. There were not as many bouncy houses as I had expected for the price we paid. The bouncy houses were in need of repair. They were torn in many places, some patched with duct tape that was coming off. Bouncy houses also seemed to be lacking air; weve been to other bouncy houses that were much firmer. Bouncy equipment was also much more slippery than others we have been to. Arcade was very minimal and over priced.

Great staff that works well with children. Limited menu, wish they served more food.

Cheap entertainment. Can’t go wrong.

One game broken, no one can fix it. No sign on it,people just waste bananas swiping card. Had fun after that incident.

Our daughter is almost 2 and had a blast at Monkey Joes! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back and now plan on having her birthday party here.

Nice place for kids...could use more games and play area

Nice outing for children, although children age 2 and under seems to not be interested in the jumping things. They like the cars and video games more. I wouldnt pay full price until you know they are ok to get on the jumping things. Just a tidbit of advice.

The place was smaller then I thought and was like a low budget Chuck E Cheese. It was expensive for what they offered. 50% of the games were down and when we ordered pizza we had to wait 30 plus minutes because they had to get it from another place. My husband had a pretzel and after they microwaved the pretzel it became hard and had the consistancy of a hot dog bun.

This is the best place for any family with kids of all ages. Fairly inexpensive, you can get pizza, and other food items. And the kids have an utter BLAST!

Over priced and children run wild. So many children were getting hurt. The only positive thing about this place is they have numerous hand sanitizer stations throughout the building.

On behalf of the workers here . The manager sunny gets mad when u want to take a break to eat she expects us to know each others schedule n break times without any written system . We get breaks at the owners discretion . When we close we arent allowed more than 10-15 minutes to clean both the womens and mens bathroom . So image how clean it actually is . The inside of the jumps are not cleans at all if u wet a paper towel and wipeOne with it it will be black . The owner roy and manager are married so roy lets her run crazy and talk and verbally abuse employees as she wishes . She fussed at me for not looking happy enough to be standing and watching kids . But told me i look crazy when i tried to look happier. Today i got fired because .i asked to go on my break and she said no because another employee hadnt taken theres and theyd been there since 1( it was about 6:30pm) she said he didnt wanna take his break but now he did . I said ok and went back to watching the jump i was on . She then took me into her office and asked if i wanted to work i said yes she said i didnt care about anyone but myself and im lazy . I told her i wanted to take my break to eat and sit down she told me if i didnt eat before i came in that was a me problem. She continues to ramble about how someone hadn’t taken their break yet i told her i dont know anyone else schedule but mine . She jumped out of her chair and stepped toward me . N said tht i didn’t have to she asked if i wanted to quit i told her no so she told me tht she dont want me to work there anymore and to not come tomorrow. My mom came in after i left to talk to her about it and sunny talked over her the whole time n wouldnt let her talk at all . Meanwhile after three months of working for biweekly pay none of my checks where over 100 I dont get paid enough to be mentally abused, sunny is just bipolar and mean! She never gave me a chance, she keeps all of the workers stressed out by being nit picky! Bottom line dont let your kid work here they will be miserable like everyone else!

Very nice!! Staff was friendly and the facility was clean. We will be back

If you have younger children monkey joes is affordable and fum for the kids.

Great place to throw a party , plenty of fun for the kiddos . We had such a great experience .

If youre looking for a similar, but much better experience keep driving and head to Megaplay in Spring Lake. You wont regret it. Monkey Joes is severely limited and seems to be poorly maintained. There are very few inflatables and there are restrictions on each one that stops certain age groups from getting on, which makes it very hard to let small toddlers play, because that doesnt allow their parents nor older siblings to help them enjoy and become comfortable. I have come here twice within 6 years and feel as if I could have found a much better way to spend the time and money each time. Not a bad place, but not fulfilling at all.

Monkey Joes is a great place to watch children and grandchildren play. Our four grandchildren love it (age 1-8). Its not a daycare center, and I can see where people who expect dozens of kids to play together and none of them get bumped or pushed are going to be disappointed. For regular folks like us, it is a wonderful place to watch kids enjoy themselves and learn to make friends with others! Its great exercise for them and they sure sleep hard when they get home.

We went here with my 10 yr old step daughter and my 6 month old. the location and the bounce houses looked cool enough. I did not like that they charge $5 for any children under 2 to play. My 6 month old cant even stand up yet but she liked the foam area, which some of them are a little torn. I was disappointed that adults cant play with the kids, which was something I was looking forward to. We went to MegaPlay and were able to run around with the children which was nice. We did not purchase food so I cant comment on that, but entrance prices are reasonable for the kids.

Kids enjoyed it. Would recommend

The girls had a great time

My son and nephews always have a great time bouncing around at Monkey Joes. Its affordable and a safe place for the kids to get out energy. There concession prices are a bit high.

We brought our 15 month here to enjoy a little time in the toddler area. Only to find that the employees were not paying attention at all. I understand that parents are supposed to watch their children. But, there is a point where employees should step in when rules are being obviously broken.The toddler area was being used as an area for gymnastics. I saw multiple children being kicked in the face/head by kids who were 10+. Some parents made it impossible for the young children to utilize this area due to the fact they were the ones stacking the items and jumping threw them along with older children. Even to the point of telling children who the area is designed for to move, get out of the way. All of this occurred while employees were watching and then ignoring it.If you have young children this is not somewhere that would be safe for them to play.

My child is 8months and the 3 and under section is awesome. Plenty of stuff to crawl on and he loves the lights and sounds from the games and carousel. I watch my child so I never feel like he is being over run by bigger kids and you cant beat this place for the price or location.

My 19 month old daughter and went there today. First thing i noticed is the girl at the door looked under the influence on some kind of narcotic, her eyes were super low. She was very nice though.There were older kids in the toddler area including the toddler bounce house. I had to exit the bounce house, the older kids got too wild. Random kids were asking me to pay for their games or trying to force their way into my arcade game.The bounce house was very worn and under inflated.Other than that, the food is reasonable, and my daughter had a ball. Ill return because she had fun.

Really cool place, but too many screaming kids. Would be cooler to have a bigger arcade area.

Enjoyed it. My kids liked the bouncy houses they used to have more than what is there now. We only go there if there is nothing else to do at all.

This place is pretty cool for kids of all ages. Its clean, but dont expect the employees to be very welcoming.This place is CRAZY on weekends, so if you dont plan on going at opening, on a weekday, then dont go.Parents take their kids here and let them run wide, without supervision, which then leads to younger children getting trampled.Honestly, if the employees would actually do their job and enforce rules, it wouldnt be a bad place to go.

Dont like it ,they can do better.. need sone upgrade

Usually busy but well worth the trip

My grandkids love this place and Im not worried about letting them go and play. I love the security they have in place.

U enjoy watch my grand baby play there she love the places

This is a great place to bring the kiddos to wear them out. Plenty of things to do there to keep them occupied. Very spacious; room for the kids to run around. My only issue was faulty arcade games. There were two water machine games that didn’t work well enough to play for points. One of the claw machines was completely out of order. Another arcade game I think was shorting? The arrow landed on 15 tickets as our prize, but then only loaded 4 tickets on our play card. The food is decent for a “snack bar.” I also believe the prizes might be over valued for how many tickets they want in exchange for those little toys. The games they have to play do not yield enough tickets to be able to collect any decent prizes. But that’s from the parent perspective. My kiddos still had a blast cause they’re young enough to not realize the game were basically broken.

Kids loved it. Reasonable rates

A really nice idea for small children. Unfortunately the staff doesnt seem to pay very much attention

I am dissapointed with this place. Most of the staff are rude and dont do their job. The place is dirty and so are the foam objects in the toddler area as well as all the bouncy houses. They also dont have their weekend pricing posted anywhere but charge you more on the weekends. The few arcade games they have are so expensive to play. Almost $2 or more for each game to play. The bathrooms are always dirty. Not to mention the food they serve here. I wont be back.

Three electrical outlets were uncovered in the toddler area, and the door guy didnt seem to care all that much, though the second associate we talked to went to check it out. A child vomited on the floor, and the associate who went to clean it up left bottles of cleaning chemicals in the middle of the TODDLER/BABY area completely unattended for a good five minutes because she forgot bags. My two year old brother and another child went to play with it, luckily we were able to react in time. On top of all this, the bathrooms were smelly and the trashcans completely full. The air conditioning mustve been broken, because it was probably hotter in the building than it was outside.The place had good toys though and if it were more comfortable, cleaner, and safer, we would definitely be frequent visitors. Our toddler enjoyed it despite all of this!

My daughter has a fun time and the staff are always friendly and helpful!

Well worth the $10 admission fee! My grandson had a great time and it was easy to keep an eye on him even tho there was a lot of kids there his size lol!!!

Fun indoor playcenter. Nice good choices, helpful staff.

Nice, clean, and fun place for kids!There were employees at every jump to monitor.Ive been for a few birthday parties and the kids had a blast.

This place is fairly clean. Not all areas are safe for all kids or adults.

Great place to bring your kids. Price for food average my godson loves it here weve been going for years.

For sure not coming back. Came for a birthday party with my two kids and when I went to leave they refused to let us out because the party host didn’t put wrist bands on my husband and I. I had to step to the side while the manager and employees played the blame game on each other but still refused to let me leave after waiting so long. Ended up having to just grab my kids and push by. DISGUSTING
