Monkey Around Shelby

A final update ❤️‍🩹
Not goodbye, see you later

Thank you Shelby + all the surrounding communities for your support. If you had a payahead pass please reach out.

Just a quick update:
Due to the nature of the fire it will still be quite awhile before we have more information. There is so much going on behind the scenes that our landlord is taking care of (thanks for all the hard work you’re doing!) but ultimately these things take a lot of time with inspections, approvals, construction, etc. It is a slow process.

We are so grateful for the continued support and kind words from you all. As soon as more information is available and able to be shared, we’ll share it. In the meantime, we’ll be closed until further notice.

We don’t currently know many details, we’ll update when we have them. In the meantime we pray for everyone involved, and are beyond thankful for emergency responders.

Fire on main street in Shelby, MT. Shelby Safari, The Prairie Peddler and Shelby Nail Salon have been affected.

We're still looking for teachers who would love to use our classroom space! If you've got a heart for getting little ones movin' and groovin', jammin' to music, stretching, and more, let us know and we'd love to visit!

With the cold weather coming next week, we're so glad to be open and able to provide a safe, warm place to play for our kids. Instead of having to take them to the park and freeze on a bench, I can just bring them here and play comfortably warm and dry.
If you need a place to let loose, without frostbite, then we're here for you.🧡

Just a small reminder that we ask all our friends to wear grippy socks while playing, your safety is very important to us and we want everyone to have fun the best way possible!
You can bring your own grippy socks, or we offer them for $3 a pair at the front counter.
(Adults don’t require grippy’s, just regular socks is fine☺️)

One of our most popular toys here is our big foam blocks, perfect for creating forts, towers, or a gentle game of bop it!😆
Here's some reasons why they're important to our playtime here.

(Next week we'll show all the fun ways kids, and parents, have built using the blocks on hand!)

Today and tomorrow you’re going to notice some changes to the Safari page on Facebook and Google… the biggest one is our name!

Everything you know and love about the Safari will stay the same, including open playtime, active toys, and a vision for the community.

As many of you know, Shelby Safari is a sister location to Monkey Around Play Café down in Billings, and it’s time we officially bring them under the same name and umbrella. This also means our updated website is coming soon!!

Soon you’ll see a new sign out front, profile pictures, and more!

New year, new changes! Stay tuned for a big announcement tomorrow!

Over the next few weeks we’ll be introducing some of the friendly faces that are running the Safari!
First up is Carlon who will be heading up operations!

All about her:
Carlon moved to Shelby last year. She’s an avid sketchbook filler and eternally “doomed” to the big sister role (although we think that makes her great at her job 😉). She can’t wait til the Safari has plenty of little monkeys to make it home🐒🌴🤸

11/27/2023

We’ll see you on Friday! 🤩
