Great place to bring the to get rid of some excess energy on a Saturday afternoon. There are numerous slides, objects to climb on and always plenty of other to have fun with. The free fast WiFi and friendliness of the personnel is also very pleasant. Tip: buy the 2l of lemonade - you will need it! Great for the kids. Large open spaces and playground jungles. Play areas are relatively clean and well maintained, nothing seems broken or out of order. Nice slides, big building blocks, ball pits, etc. There is also a restaurant with plenty of food options and reasonable prices, and friendly staff had their time off their lives. Nice playground with average prices. Entrance fee is 9.5 euro. We waited for fries for an hour. A lot of people and we run after our child as he coul be lost in those labirints Nice place, looking good and clean! However, the same issue as with most these businesses, offering a visual variety of chemical/sugary stuff with pretty much nothing healthy in the sight of a kid is just irresponsible these days - in times whew it’s clear that all these things cause so many diseases those should be banned in such quantities. Its a fine playground for kids. Its quite small and has some maze like structures that can make it hard for to find their way out. Otherwise its clean and well organized. Great place for kids. Not too expensive. You only pay for the entrance of kids. You can host a party. They have free wifi, a well assorted snack bar. There is also lots of parking space for bikes, cars and you can also get there by bus. Pro Tips: - socks are a requirement - wear clothes that are not too hot - for preschoolers and toddlers too - fathers can change baby in mens room Monkey Town or Ballorig? I choose Monkey Town, and so do my kids. Bit bigger, a little bit more fun to sit as a parent. Deeply Disappointed by the Handling of a Serious Incident We have been loyal customers of Monkey Town for years, but after today, we will never return. My was bullied and subjected to racial discrimination while playing near the big slide. She was pushed to the ground, pinned down, and later elbowed in the back, causing her to hit her head. While crying, she overheard one of the girls say they targeted her “because she is Chinese”. After hearing this from our daughter, we approached the involved to ask what had happened. However, our daughter, still shaken, ran away, and the took the opportunity to do the same. As my husband turned to call our back, the ran further, actively avoiding us. At this moment, my husband made a silly mistake, he also called the to come back and talked to her in English that she shouldn't run away from the conversation. Then, another woman suddenly stepped in and, rather than helping to clarify the situation, immediately confronted my husband, accusing him of shouting at a child. She then took hold of the girl, asked her what had happened, and, without hesitation, turned to us and stated that the “only bumped into” our and said nothing more. Without considering our daughter's injuries or her side of the story, she dismissed the entire situation as if nothing had happened. The mother of the later arrived, but she refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and made it clear that there would be no apology. We turned to Monkey Town staff for support, and after several requests, they agreed to approach the girl's mother to communicate our concerns. We appreciate the staff member’s effort in doing so, but the response we received remained unchanged—the mother still refused to let her child apologize or acknowledge what had happened. The staff then told us that they could not force anyone to do something they did not want to do, which we totally understand. When we asked what else could be done, we were simply told that if we wanted to call the police, we should do so outside, but the police would not take our case seriously. "They will not come at all". The way this was said, along with the staff’s overall tone and expressions, left us with the feeling that we were being treated as if we were making an unreasonable fuss. It was subtle, but nonetheless disheartening. We will not be returning to Monkey Town, despite being loyal customers for years. In the past, when my got hurt while playing here, we laughed it off, thinking it was just part of childhood. But this time, it was different. This time, she wasn’t just physically hurt—she was singled out, bullied, and told it was because of who she is. And that pain goes far beyond a playground injury. As parents, nothing hurts more than seeing your child in tears, not just from being pushed down but from realizing that some see her as “less than” simply because of where she comes from. It is a pain that lingers, not just for her but for us as a family. Because deep down, we know that this will not be the last time. We know that, no matter how much we try to shield her, my daughter—and many children like her—will face moments where they are made to feel like outsiders in a place they call home. What are we supposed to do? Do we just tell our children to accept it? Do we pretend it doesn’t hurt? Or should we, as some have said, simply “go back to where we came from”? Is this what our future holds? We don’t have easy answers, but what we do know is that every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and included—on the playground, in school, and in society. That should not be too much to ask. And my husband, of course, should learn the lesson, to hold his bad temper—to be patient, strategic, soft-spoken, and endlessly accommodating. After all, in many eyes, he will always be the aggressor, no matter the situation. Maybe next time, he should just apologize for existing, just to keep things peaceful.
