Olé Jungle Gym Indoor Playspace

2/14/15 - By Brandee Gilmore

Alert! Alert!  We love the Olé Soccer facility on Tunxis Hill Cutoff.  Yes, yes, there are many play spaces in Fairfield County we've already outlined in Our Favorite Indoor Play Spaces, but this one is further north, making it much easier for Easton, Trumbull, Monroe and Shelton residents to access.  While your little ones bounce off the walls, you can slide an older child into a weekly skills session or a soccer clinic, like on the upcoming President's Day holiday. (For more ideas for Winter Break camps, click here).

The 'Jungle Gym' as it's called, is huge and squeaky clean. It features a trampoline, three large slides, and a clear plastic mattress that lights up from within.  There are several nooks and crannies where the younger tykes manage to get away from the older rambunctious ones -- it didn't start to get nerve-wracking (I have a fresh-turned-2-year-old) until about two dozen kids were inside.  My sort of unmotivated 4-year-old had found the mother ship -- he was beet red when we left ... and the last of my kids out. 

So, what's the deal?  The Jungle Gym is open for business whenever the main facility is.  The first child costs $10 for a two-hour session, and each additional child is $5.  IF you are currently taking a session here, or are a member of Olé, the price is $5/each for all of your children.
We showed up when it opened at 9, and my three were tuckered out after 90 minutes (and as I mentioned, it was packed by that point).  Every season, they also plan to open up a set amount of monthly Jungle Gym memberships (approx. $30-35/child) for unlimited drop-in play.  However, you'll have to snap them up -- Olé still wants to be able to accept random drop-in customers, too.  Watch for those to come available again in March or April.

Perhaps the most beautiful part of the Olé location, is that it's two doors down from Chip's.  Yep.  The best pancakes in CT.  My three annihilated theirs after all that hard work at the Jungle Gym.  We popped in the bathroom (FYI, there is diaper change station here) before they got in the car and naps kicked in.  Mission accomplished, mama!
