Monkey Joe's - Katy,

511-A South Mason Road, Katy, TX 77450

"The few times we have been there were several arcade machines not working for a year or more. If they don’t work they should be removed and updated with new ones. One of the inflatables wasn’t aired up. We had a good time because it wasn’t crowded when we went on a Sunday afternoon."

"This place has seen better days. We booked a party here for our child’s birthday party, and we were very disappointed in the condition of the facilities. Part of the party package we purchased was play cards for the arcade games. Over half of them were broken or out of order. Our room was “cleaned” prior to our booking, but there was icing and food all over the tables. If you’re thinking about booking your party here and spending your hard earned money, don’t make the mistake we made. Visit the place first."

"Went for toddler Tuesday for $5 per child under 5. Looks clean, restrooms are clean, nice staff. Lots of seating space and cubbies for storage. When you sit down and really take it all in, is when you notice how run down the playscape is. The netting is ripped. What used to be a foam pit, does not have anything in it anymore. Kids do not seem to mind but they do notice a "drop" when they jump in. A third of the arcade games are off or not working. The staff is nice about refunding the game credits. Bounce houses were nice. It's a good place to let your kids go off and run wild."

"Monkey Joe's was incredible. So diverse. An area for even smaller children like toddlers and area for middle-aged kids. This is a fantastic place to have a kids' party."

"You have to keep in mind that this is a place for kids. This is this place as a Chuck-E-Cheese with bounce houses, and no pizzas. As far as my kids were concerned this place was almost as fun as Disney World. They had lots of fun with other kids, they played video games with other little kids, and they bounced themselves tired. Now, the cons.... This place needs to invest in new chairs and sitting furniture. The seats in here looked, and felt, like they were pulled out of a dumpster, no joke. The seats here had cracks in the upholstery, and we're broken, and lob sided, when sat in. Highly uncomfortable. The employees were young all ladies, about 18-19 years old and we're all but absent from the whole establishment. Even when you looked at the counter, it was devoid of any visible employees working. They were all hiding in a room toward the front of the store behind one way mirrors, and the only time they came out is if you had been standing at the counter after 20 seconds. Definitely not a great customer service experience at all. The employees themselves we're mostly friendly but just nowhere to be seen. So just be very vigilant of your kids here because there are no employees watching out for them in any way. We didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment in that, but the soda we did buy was tiny for the price we paid. We will probably be back because the kids had fun here, and in the end, I think that's all that maters.... That, and it's also very cheep to bring the kids here."
