One of today’s livingsocial deals is for families (I read that as mothers) seeking to amuse and tire out their kids in a socially acceptable way.  The Monkey Zone in Melrose Park has a $10 voucher worth $22 for an open play session.  Admission is for two adults and two children.  (How likely is it that the adults are going to be hogging the ball pit?)  The Monkey Zone encourages running, climbing, swinging, bouncing in 32,000 square feet of inflatable bounce pits, obstacle courses, and other platforms for physical activity.

Deets:  limit one per family per visit; all services must be redeemed during one visit and used by same customer(s); cannot be shared; valid for Thursday to Sunday Open Play Schedule (walk-in hours only); not valid towards parties; recommended for children ages 2 to 10 years old.   Promotional value expires on September 7, 2011 (remember, livingsocial vouchers don’t become worthless, only lose the extra value).
