Monkey Town Rijswijk

Description

Looking for the ultimate indoor playground experience near The Hague? Monkey Town Rijswijk is seriously one of those places that’ll make your kids never want to leave. I’ve taken my nieces here multiple times, and I gotta say – it’s pretty impressive! This massive 2300-square-meter indoor playground is basically paradise for energetic kiddos who need to burn off some steam, especially during those rainy Dutch days.

What really sets this place apart is their super cool ‘Glow Jungle’ – it’s this amazing glowing mini-golf course with 7 holes and a laser tag arena that my older niece absolutely loves. The main play area is packed with fun stuff: 6 different slides (trust me, they’re all exciting), 8 bouncy trampolines, and this huge ball pit that seems to be every kid’s favorite spot. There’s even a soccer cage for the sporty little ones!

But here’s what I really appreciate – they’ve actually thought about the tiny tots too. The separate toddler area is perfect for under-4s, with their own mini slides, trampoline, and a gentle rodelbahn that’s just their size. And ya know what? As someone who’s spent hours in various play centers, I can tell you the cleanliness here is actually pretty good.

Best Time to Visit

From my experience, timing your visit right can make a huge difference. Weekday mornings, especially right when they open, tend to be quieter – perfect if you’ve got younger kids who might get overwhelmed by crowds. The busiest times are usually weekend afternoons and school holidays, especially if it’s raining outside (which, let’s be honest, happens pretty often in the Netherlands!).

If you’re planning a weekend visit, try to arrive before 11 AM to beat the rush. School holidays can get pretty hectic, but they’re also when the atmosphere is most exciting. During summer, it’s actually a great escape on those surprisingly hot Dutch days – the air conditioning here is pretty good!

How to Get There

Getting to Monkey Town Rijswijk is pretty straightforward. If you’re driving (which I’d recommend if you’ve got kids and all their stuff), there’s plenty of free parking right outside. Using public transport? There’s a bus stop nearby, and it’s just a short walk from there. For those coming from The Hague or Delft, you’re looking at roughly a 15-minute drive, depending on traffic.

And ya know what’s cool? The industrial area it’s in might not look super exciting, but it actually makes it super easy to find – no wandering through confusing residential streets! Just follow your GPS, and you’ll spot the colorful Monkey Town sign pretty easily.

Tips for Visiting

Listen, I’ve learned a few things from my visits here that might make your life easier. First off, bring socks! They’re mandatory for both kids and adults, and while you can buy them there, it’s cheaper to bring your own. Pack some water bottles too – kids get thirsty from all that running around!

The food here is actually pretty decent – those Dudok pastries are seriously good – but you might wanna time your visit around meal times. Oh, and here’s a pro tip: if you’re planning a birthday party, book well in advance, especially for weekends. The party rooms fill up fast!

For parents of toddlers, mornings are your best friend. The separate toddler area means your little ones can play safely without getting caught up in the big-kid chaos. And don’t forget to try the Glow Jungle – even if you think your kids might be too young, it’s surprisingly fun for all ages.

One last thing – they sometimes run special deals during off-peak hours, so it’s worth checking their current promotions before you go. And remember, while it might seem a bit pricey at first, you can literally spend the whole day here. Trust me, once your kids get started, they won’t want to leave anyway!
