Monkey Town Party & Play Center, Madison

Giant fire trucks, prehistoric temples, and towering superheroes fill Monkey Town Party & Play Center’s 15,000-square-foot indoor playground. Sock-clad children scale ropes up 20-foot-tall inflated climbing walls and spring through the multi-colored interiors of six bounce houses, while parents watch from comfortable massage chairs or join the festivities themselves. Games of air hockey provide a break between bounces, and a hurricane simulator provides all the thrills of high-force winds with none of the storm-chasers. For special events, cosmic parties create a kid-friendly club with moving laser lights and music blasted from a 5,000-watt sound system. Monkey Town can also customize parties to suit needs and budget, and hosts Parent’s Night Out events to give adults an evening to themselves as the crew supervises their children.
