Basically, an indoor playground is just what the name implies. It is a large, indoor play area where mothers can bring their children to play with a lot of large apparatus that isn‘t available in the average home. The difference is this playground charges a fee of $8. an hour for a family of up to three kids, and $2. for every hour after that. This is the town‘s first "indoor playâ€" ground", a concept which is gaining popularity among wellâ€"healed urbanites in the Toronto area.The owner and operator of the Monkey‘s Jungle, Heather Upton , says indoor playâ€" grounds such as the one she just opened are really catching on in Toronto, and she saw no reason why the concept wouldn‘t work in Oakville as well.

An added bonus, of course, is that mothâ€" er doesn‘t have to clean up the mess Upton says the idea of the indoor playground began to appeal to her when she found herself spending a lot of time babysitting her niece and nephew last year. She soon came to realize the sense of isolation and boredom faced by many young mothers who are at home with small children all day. Mothers are expected to supervise their own children, but what makes the serâ€" vice popular with mothers is that they can relax and enjoy complimentary cofâ€" fee in an adjacent lounge area where they get a chance to chat and interact with other Moms.
