Priceless: Why You Should Ditch the Toys This Holiday Season

Posted on Dec 09, 2016

Are you tired of the Christmas unwrapping after-math, knowing all of those shiny new toys will probably be tossed aside or broken in a matter of days -- even hours? Give your kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, neighbors, or employees' kids a chance to make memories this holiday season instead. That's why experience gifts are hot this Christmas! The best kids gifts in Winter Park come from time spent with the whole family at Monkey Joe's.

Why is a fun day out a better gift than the latest tech gadget or princess doll? According to Fast Company, "Ironically, the fact that a material thing is ever present works against it, making it easier to adapt to. It fades into the background and becomes part of the new normal. But while the happiness from material purchases diminishes over time, experiences become an ingrained part of our identity." Children ages 12 and under will certainly remember the blast they had at Monkey Joe's inflatable indoor playground and arcade for years to come. (Plus, they can stay happy while burning off energy on all our slides and obstacle courses during colder, darker months.)

Do you want to give kids a chance to visit Monkey Joe's on a regular basis? Our Frequent Jumper Card allows you to get discounted admission prices for a total of 10 times. This month only, you'll also get a free gift with every Frequent Jumper Card purchase (while supplies last). Or buy gift cards here (bulk pricing is available, too).

Forget about the headaches that sold-out bestsellers, crazy sales, poorly-constructed trinkets, and dead batteries bring. The hottest kids gifts in Winter Park are visits to Monkey Joe's, because children get the experience of active play. They'll stay happy (and healthy) while having fun and making memories with family and friends!
