Jungle fever hits Newtownabbey

The launch, which was hosted by local radio presenters Pete Snodden and Kirstie McMurray of Cool FM, saw prizes being presented to the first 25 children who attended, as well as free face painting for all.

Funky Monkeys is perfect for the whole family - parents can relax while their children play in this premier indoor facility. The caf also promotes healthy eating with an exciting menu from smoothies and milkshakes to baked potatoes and fresh baguettes.

With three other cafs in Northern Ireland - in Belfast, Lurgan and Downpatrick, Funky Monkeys has become the province’s leading indoor soft play facility.

Clare Hughes, franchisee of Funky Monkey’s said: “Funky Monkeys is a great play facility for children aged eight and under. Our exciting jungle-themed play area includes a softball football pitch, a twin wavy slide, dizzy discs and lots more for your kids to enjoy.

“We offer a range of themed birthday parties including mini makeovers and jungle and cookery parties, which are great fun. We also have a number of pre-school activity mornings hosted by Debutots and Monkeynastics which are perfect for summer schemes and days out. A full list of our themed parties can be found on our website at www.funkymonkeys.ie or you can call us on 9036 9333.

“We are competitively priced with each 90 minute session costing 4.95 for children aged 4 to 8 and 4.50 for children under 4. Our monthly membership scheme offers great savings with unlimited access for only 12.”

Mrs Hughes added: “This is our fourth caf in Northern Ireland and so far it has been a great success. Our customer feedback has been very positive with one customer travelling a great distance to bring her two children. Our fourth caf at the Starplan Complex near Abbeycentre is a great day out for all the family.”

Monthly membership fee is 12 and is subject to a 10 joining fee. Benefits include free entry for children under 12 months, 10% discount in the Caf Juice Bar and 10% off birthday parties
