Jelly Bean Jungle


Jelly Bean Jungle is one of our local spots that we hang out at on a nice hot day or rainy day.

Jelly Bean is a great place for kids 0-5. They even offer parent's night out on Friday nights where you can drop your kids off for a few hours while you go out and have a "date" night or maybe you need a little break and want your kids to run off some energy. We have not done this yet, but may use it. I'm not sure if your child has to be potty trained for this or not, but will ask the next time we go.

The prices are about average for an indoor place.

$9.00 + tax per child ages 1 - 5 years
$4.25 + tax per child ages under 1 year
Infants and non-crawlers are FREE with paying sibling
Each paying child may have two (2) adults attend with them FREE of charge.
There will be a $3 per person fee for each additional adult. CASH, CHECKS MASTERCARD and VISA ARE ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT

We usually find deals on groupons, living social etc. 5 for $25.00 visits. I really should have bought a membership to here, maybe in a month we will when some of our other memberships run out.

I would say that you really wouldn't get much use out of it if your child isn't crawling or sitting up . In my opinion this place is great for kids 1-5. My girls enjoy it, they have a "theater" area where you can play music, dance and see yourself on TV.. they really like dancing on the stage! They even have play costumes your kids can play dress up.

They have a carousel that you can push, the girls love riding it! *note it's not too easy to push and you can get dizzy after awhile..lol*

The ball pit area is really fun! Pookie always jumps off the side into the ball pit and they have a blast! They have a little ball pit for the younger kids that aren't as rough and its not as deep. They have tunnels, slides , push toys for kids, a wooden train set.

The place is always clean, the staff is really nice. It is not really big so you can keep an eye on your kids at all time. They have a little table area that we bring our lunch if we go around that time. They also have menus of restaurants that you can order from and go pick up. They do NOT allow any peanut products , which is great for kids with peanut allergy.. so if you plan on packing a lunch please do not pack anything with peanut oil or products.


Another thing I like is they don't let ages over 5 years old, so you don't have to worry about the big kids rough housing or running over the little ones. You must wear socks, so pack socks if in summer time!!!

I also found out they do a club house , that is like preschool from 2 1/2-4. You can go on their website to find out more, I looked at the prices and they are not that bad. Clubhouse Classes are a great first experience away from Mom, preparation for pre-school and an excellent way for your child to make friends and learn in a relaxed atmosphere. The program is managed and prepared by a NJ certified teacher and is a complete educational unit with two teachers supervising the children at all times. I might look into it for Pozzy in the spring time when shes 2 1/2. I don't know if you have to be potty trained for the 2 1/2 year program. But I think its a cute idea if your trying to transition to preschool or just need to get a few days to get things done.

They also do birthday parties. I have not been to one there yet, nor have had one so I can't review that part.

I find the best times to go are around 11am-2pm and Friday nights. On Friday nights we usually have family night a bunch of us get together, and then go in together and get a Pizza from the local pizza shop. we go around 5pm and stay until 8pm. The kids have a blast and the parents can just enjoy each other's company. They are open from Monday-Saturday please check the website for hours.

We really enjoy it here, and we hope you do too!!!
