Penny,
My neice just had her 4th birthday party at one of these inflatable "indoor playgrounds"...and it was a hit! What a wonderful idea for up north especially where the weather gets too cold to let them play outside. :o) Great post!
Rebecca - My son is 4, and this is definitely his favorite place to go! His little 18 month sister is even getting right into it, but Mom has to go in all the mazes with her so she doesn't get lost. Monkey Joe's is great about letting the parents get involved too!
Penny - You should try "Pump It Up". There are locations at The Factory in Wake Forest and on Globe Rd in RTP. Adult kids can play on their inflatable equipment. Even I want to have my birthday party there...
Tracy - thanks, I will definitely add it to the list!
