Bananas Fun Park

So, we just may have found the greatest place in the world for our running, jumping, NEVER stopping three year old boy. Seriously, I think it is all of his dreams coming true under one big yellow roof! Let me explain...

There is a place here in town called Bananas Fun Park. It has things like go-karts, a video arcade, bumper boats, laser tag, miniature golf, mostly things for the older kids. But, they also have... wait for it... a Bump-n-Jump Playland! This is not just one bounce house, there are FIVE of them. One is an obstacle course, one has a basket ball hoop, there is a regular one just for jumping, one for those under age 6, and our son's fave... the giant slides.

Now, I know most of you parents out there have stood in the longest line at some festival so your kid could go into one of those crazy bounce houses. Kids just love them! We came across this on accident when we just went to see what this "Bananas" was all about one Friday evening. It costs $8 for a wristband and you can jump as much as you want. Adults are allowed too:) BUT, on Friday mornings, there is a Preschool Special from 9 am to noon and it is only $5 to jump. I think that is a pretty good deal. I thought it would be a busy time with crazy three year olds running all about, but we were the only ones in there when we got there at about 11:00. I think there were about 6 kids total at the busiest time. I just can't believe more people don't take advantage of this!

So, overall a great find. We brought a lunch, but after seeing the signs for "no outside food or drinks", we held off on lunch until we got home. (well, at least until we were in the car on the way home). They do have a Cafe where you can buy lunch/snacks (think pizza, hot dogs, ice cream) and eat there. They also do Birthday parties.
