How it started

Built in 2003, Monkey Business has been entertaining children for years. Extensive research and dedicated care went into the creation of the facilities, to ensure a high standard in every area.

Unlike some others in the industry, Monkey Business caters for multiple age groups, ranging from toddlers to tweens. Our centre offers dedicated areas catered to each individual age group. This offers toddlers a safe environment to explore and older children the space to express themselves.

Parents of 4 girls, Gerard and Stephanie Reid noticed the lack of facilities available to cater to multiple age groups in the Galway area. Thus began their journey to create a dedicated centre to cater to children and families.

The facilities offer a safe place for children to play, while parents can socialise and interact over a coffee from the on-site refreshment centre.
