The Jumpin' Monkey!
Virginia Beach for Kids & Toddlers

Looking for a place to play and party hearty with the kids in Virginia Beach?

Did we mention affordably priced and staffed by friendly adults who know how to safely ensure a good time for kids and toddlers from ages 1-to-9?

Then jump right into our guide to The Jumpin' Monkey, one of the most popular Virginia Beach indoor play areas for boys, girls - and their moms.

In addition to bouncy houses, slides, and dress-up activities, The Jumpin Monkey offers common play areas as well as separate boys and girls play areas "where boys can be boys and girls can be girls".

Of course, The Jumpin Monkey is a perfect solution for vacationers with kids in tow, especially on a rainy day when the beach and other top Virginia Beach tourist attractions are off limits due to inclement weather.

Moms and dads will be glad to know that safety is a top priority at The Jumpin Monkey, where kids are permitted to jump, dance, play, and socialize only under adult supervision.

Perhaps more importantly, a strict rule that ages 1-9 ONLY are permitted entry means that older kids and teens won't be rough-housing nearby!

Meanwhile, along with a pint-sized snack bar for hungry adventurers, The Jumpin Monkey is also a perfect place for locals or out-of-towners to hold a kids birthday party.

Providing one hour of "jump time" and 45 minutes in a private party room, kids are provided with a complete party table setup including party music, bubbles, juices and snacks, birthday cake, and a toy monkey for the birthday girl or boy to keep as a memento.

They even provide the invitations beforehand, another special touch as part of a complete party package.

Jumpin Monkey party packages

There are several different party packages available. You can opt for the high-end theme (including juices, popcorn, and the birthday bake for $275) but if you're handy in the kitchen you can provide your own party food, snacks and birthday cake, for a price tag totaling a little under $200 for up to 16 children.

For a little bit more, you can also customize your party with "extras" the kids will enjoy including arranging a pizza birthday party. Special birthday balloon bouquets, placed on the party table as a centerpiece, can also be arranged for a few extra dollars at reservation time.

Have fun!
