    They need to change the balls in this pool ball  It makes it look like I haven't clean it up in a long time

    It was nearby everything was OK overall but the pool was just all most of the balls was crushed up most of them were just crunched up plastic.

    Our little ones had so much fun! We first came to Monkey Joe's awhile back for a birthday party but our little one was asleep the entire time. So we had to come back! Free parking is available in front of MJ's. Upon entering, you will fill out a form and pay. Every person in your party will get a wristband. Children 2 years and under (if playing) are $6.99. Children older than 2 years are $12.99. Adults are free. There are cubbies towards the entrance where you can place your shoes and coats/sweaters. They have a refreshment area which offers drinks, snacks, ice cream, salads, wraps, pizzas, chicken tenders, quesadilla's, etc. Everyone enjoyed their pizza's and salad. I appreciate that they have a toddler zone for kids 3 and under. Our little ones had so much fun here. Restrooms could have been maintained a bit better. Employees were all very friendly, helpful, and patient. Monkey Joe's has a bunch of party rooms. Each party looked so organized and MJ's really does a great job setting and cleaning things up in a timely fashion. We will definitely be back!

    renovated and now open!

    Renovated and now open as of December 5th! I am not sure what it was like prior to the renovations. But the toys and equipment appear to be in good or new condition. I like how the columns, floors and equipment are all soft and padded. Not all the electrical outlets have safety covers so that needs working. There is a toddler zone for the little ones to explore their gross motor skills. They have someone there making sure kids older than 3 do not play in that area, which I really appreciate. My toddler was all smiles in the toddler area, and the bigger kids areas (with our company of course). We did arrive when it was less busy so the equipment was clean for the most part. I did notice a few food particles laying around. Price wise, this place is cheap, compare to other indoor playgrounds and "Montessori- style" play spaces. The cost for our toddler on the weekend was $6.99. There are weekday specials too. It's 8 credits per game and $5 gets you 40 credits. If you pay more, you get bonus credits. The games aren't extravagant. But our toddler enjoyed watching us play. There are 4 party rooms and they serve food as well. We didn't try their food but I'm sure the pizza will kid and toddler approved. It gets crazy when the volume builds up. Kids running all over the place screaming. Our little one got intimidated and didn't want to explore further once the place got packed. I think the least crowded time frames are the best!

    This place is great for my 16 mth old son!!! He loved the large toddler area which has tons of stuff for him to climb on. There's a bounce area for toddlers next to it as well. The price is cheaper than some of the other places nearby. I highly recommend this as a great place to get some wiggles out!

    Someone give me a badge, I have officially graduated to a new level of Yelper -- reviewing kid's birthday party spots! I've been here for several parties and I can see that for a kid, this place is five stars. There are moon bounces, arcade games, birthday cake, pizza, soda and more! What better way to spend a Saturday morning afternoon? It's bright and flashy, and there are people running around everywhere. As a parent, I found the place to be a bit overstimulating/overwhelming but this place ain't for me. The little one was SO happy in the Under 3 soft playroom and loved climbing up and down the giant mats. There were a few big kids in there who were throwing the blocks at her which made me a bit uncomfortable -- and also where are your parents child!? I was also a little bit dismayed by how dirty it was. All of the toys were visibly frayed and had layers of dirt caked onto it. If you are planning to have a birthday party here, the Monkey Joes team definitely takes all the work out of hosting a kid's birthday party. They set up the room, cut up your pizza, serve sodas, and help you load up your car with presents at the end. I definitely see the appeal. All in all, it's a fun place but there are definitely ways they can make it better.

    See all

    Pros: play street, I think one of the only ones in the area. (Although there is a cute one in WV…read morethat has a cafe with food too). It's clean, bright. I love that there are also crafting options, some tables with puzzles as well. In a shopping area so plenty of easy parking. Your child gets to pick a snack at the end which helps with the "I don't want to leave" tantrums Cons: The price is hefty $16 for 1.5 hours. It's hard to get behind this when I can go to a place like me land in chantilly for $10 and unlimited play time with a much bigger space and a lot more to do. The snack helps with that but still, at this price I'll come maybe every other month. At $10, I go every week sometimes multiple times a week. The space is small and they are cleaning while you're playing, in such a small space this feels rude/ puts unneeded pressure on the customer. Especially since they have a gap to clean before the next time slot. Overall: I would come again but not often due to the price. If you have a really crafty kid and only one younger kid I feel the price might become worth it. If you have kids in a spread out age range, or who don't like crafts, or you don't want to deal with the stress of having to be there at a certain time, and leave after just 1.5 hour. There are certainly better options both from an affordability standpoint as well as quality.

    I brought my youngest here for their Easter event and she had a blast! The session was 90 minutes…read moreof play with opportunity to take pics with the bunny. This is hands down the cleanest indoor space we've been too and we've been to lots. The staff here were super friendly and regularly cleaning and putting things away. The play space has a town motif with a crafting and art area and then a vehicles, blocks, and dinosaur area. My daughter's favorite was the vet space, followed by the recycling truck. She spent a fair amount of time with the dinosaurs and at the grocery too. We never made it to the play areas on the left side. 90 minutes just really isn't enough time to cover it all if your little spends a long time in one area. I looked online to book play for another weekend and was shocked to see they only offer play 9-1030 on the weekends. I'm a working single mom, child in preschool, and we live in Springfield-essentially the weekend schedule means we won't be able to return without setting out super early. I love the imaginative play concept so I really hope they open a space closer to Fairfax or open up additional weekend play hours.

There are about 40 rooms of which each has different challenges and involve solving puzzles or executing a task in 1-4 minutes. Depending on how you and your team do you will be rewarded with stars or puzzle pieces for prizes. Everyone is given a wrist band that has a little badge that you use to tap when you enter a room to track your results. Many of the rooms require the participants to work as a team to achieve a goal. Some of the challenges are mental, physical, or require a high degree of coordination. This place is great for adults and I would say kids 8 and up. Teens would love it. I would not recommend this for younger kids. I have heard that this place has very long lines on the weekends. Since we went on Tuesday evening there was no wait for about 50% of the rooms we wanted to enter. And even in those cases we only had to wait no more than 2 minutes for the team inside to exit. It's a cool and fun concept and I would highly recommend it!

The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

Kids running everywhere and parents not watching their kids, seriously the most overstimulating place. It's a kid place so its definitely not the cleanest place and one annoying thing: everyone dumps their jackets and stuff on the front tables instead of actually using the designated area, so there's nowhere to sit or organize your things. I mean it'd be nice to actually use the tables to eat the pizza you're ordering there. Not terrible, not amazing. Fine for a quick play session, and getting the kids out the house. Bring headphones to drown out the noise (depending on how old your kids are).

    We've visited Me Land twice, once during a school day off and another time for a birthday party…read more It's one of the newer indoor play places in the DMV and has a "space" theme throughout the place. It's located in the Sully Plaza shopping center in Chantilly with ample parking in the lot. There were several areas to play with for kids of various age groups, from babies/toddlers to older kids. There's a huge ball pit that both of my kids loved in addition to plenty of slides. Now onto the negatives: - The staff was friendly... but inattentive and possibly understaffed as there were so many messes and kids going in and out of the gate without any supervision - Check-in wasn't really taken seriously (I questioned why did I have to submit a waiver?) and there were kids who were running barefoot and/or adults who wore shoes inside the play area - Each time we visited was very chaotic and seemed like it was overcapacity as it was packed with both adults and kids - Some parents barely supervised their kids and there were some other kids getting pushed and shoved due to how crowded it was We won't be coming back unless it's for a birthday party.

For starters this place is so unkept, it's so incredibly dirty and the bathrooms are gross. I truly wonder if they ever clean this place? We visited 2 years ago and again this weekend, and I can tell they haven't updated a single thing. Including the nasty pom poms that have clearly seen better days and cost 2 cents a piece. This is the weirdest children's museum I have ever been to. Not even sure what the target age group is. They have like half of an exhibition appropriate for each different age group. The exhibitions are not cool, barely entertaining, half of them are broke or barely work, they are all dirty as can be. And the museum overall is tiny! I feel bad for the people that pay to visit this place. This was definitely the last time we visited, even with free tickets. Every single Smithsonian museum is 100000x better than this, and they are all free. So save your time and money and visit any of them, I'm sure your kids will be more entertained there and at least they won't catch a nasty virus from playing in this dirty place.
