Mesen Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi I'm thinking of holding a 5th birthday at Monkey biz @ centertainment. Any recommendations or comments welcome? Has anyone been? I usually do Easy tigers but we're getting a bit bored with that although it's brilliant. Birthday is in January so must be indoors. Cheers mesen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexstars Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can recomend monkey bizness although I have never held or attended a party there, I go once a month and its always clean and is a great place for kids to play and lots of space to run around as its huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermummy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have been twice now at Monkey Business and was not impressed at all. The play area was dirty, tissues, crisps, crisp wrappers all over the place - the tables were also dirty, the staff could not care less that loads of children were running about without socks on and the queues to get anything were massive.

nikkit285 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I love monkey biz i used to work as a nanny and took the kids quite often when it was rubbish weather. Also as adults can go on the play area its a great way of keeping an eye on the kids (and having a good time yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbow_maid Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have just had a party at Monkey bizness and have had an appalling time. I paid for 10 children it was 12.99 a head and they didn't get much to show for it. I then paid £6 a head for their 'play and eat' deal for older siblings who weren't part of the party to get in. The meal was inadequate and very small portion size. I complained to the manager who was argumentative and disinterested, and her attitude was 'tough'. I insisted they provide some sandwiches to the older children, they were still hungry! At first she said no but reluctantly agreed. I was going to book my son's party there but no chance now, overpriced, poor service, rude staff, not a happy party outcome at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a party there for my son in December, the actual play area was really really quiet so the kids had the place to themselves more or less. It cost me just over hundred quid for 10 kids (younger ones) we got it a bit cheaper cos it was a friday apparently more expensive at weekend. The kids absolutely loved it but have to agree the food wasnt much cop, and not enough. A few cocktail sausages, pizza, chips and fishfingers - which lasted all of 5 mins!! i asked for some extra sausages to be told there werent any more (even tho there was a party booked after us) i mean let's face it a few extra sausages arent going to break the bank are they. Another annoying thing was Joe's name was spelt wrong on his welcome poster (spelt Jospeh - not rocket science surely???) The party bags were ok, had a few sweets, couple of toys in etc - the kids loved them which was the main thing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu3abby Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi to all- hoping someone knows of any place other than Western Park Museum that will do a arts and crafts type birthday party for a 4 year old. Happy to do our own catering- would have it at home, but not enough space. Thanks for any suggestions:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
