For sleep-deprived parents with babies and toddlers to look after, an indoor playground like Monkey Magoo’s can feel like an oasis. It’s a place where they can catch a break, relax over a free cup of coffee or read a magazine while their kids play with a wide selection of dolls, trucks, slides and books.
“A kid once told me, ‘Christie, this is the best place on Earth.’ When a kid tells me this or cries because he doesn’t want to leave or when a parent tells me their toddler slept for three hours after playing with so many toys, to me that’s the best feeling,” says Christie Chapin, owner of Monkey Magoo’s.
