Safari Run

Love safari run as do the kids. The facility is clean and the workers are great. Have had multiple parties there and all ran smoothly.

Quite mechanical. No warmth. They say the party is two hour slot, they start rushing everyone out at 90 minute mark. Bad experience.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! This review is for my experience hosting my son's birthday party here.Pros: Online reservation system is straight forward Staff is extremely accommodating, pleasant and helpful on day of event (they handled party room set up, cake cutting/ serving, pizza serving (it is passed around butler style, not just boxes open for self serving which I thought was a nice touch) and clean up!The jungle gym is huge and fun! They also have a separate area for babies and toddlers. In between parties, I actually saw staff members disinfecting the gym! There is also a staff member who is inside the actual gym to ensure kid safety at all times.The added arcade experience after our pizza/cake time was a huge hit with the littles!Cons:Cannot bring any outside beverages (must purchase water, juice, soda etc through them which can get costly).Only guest food option is their vendor Seniores Pizza (GF pizza available) - no exceptions A lot of my guests showed up late (unfortunately) and the play time is timed which means the kids won't get the full 40-50min in the gym. I would REALLY emphasize guests to arrive 15 min prior for parking/check in. Overall highly recommend for a fun, clean, stress free party for your littles. Thank you to a well-trained, profession staff for making my son's birthday a great experience for all!

I don't even want to tell you how much I ...*ahem* ...I mean my son loves this place. It's clean, open space and, not overly crowded. If you ask my son what he loves the most about Safari run it's probably the multiple slides. There's a seating area for parents to chill while the kids burn the energy off (we all know parents need more downtime). The area is gated and secured so kids won't run off. There's also party packages available. The staff is super friendly and admission on weekdays are unlimited.

I came here for a birthday party and the play structure is nice and I enjoyed it but I felt overall very rushed. The party includes some guided activities but it was very lack luster and I felt they weren't into it and really leading the kids. I would have preferred to not have those and just have free play. Also the lining up to get everyone upstairs took a while, then we finally sat down for cake and it just felt super hectic and rushed. Sat down, sang happy birthday, then cut distributed cake, then the staff started cleaning and rushing us out. Definitely felt like they crunched the time to squeeze in as many birthday parties as they could in a day.

This might be one of my favorite indoor play places in the Bay Area, especially for the age of my kids at the moment. Pros: Feels clean, kept up well. Cute jungle theme. Because the play structure isn't too big, you won't be overrun with rowdy pre-teens. It's pretty perfect for the early elementary age group - even my 3 year old son was able to get through the play structure autonomously and safely. Still, it includes a good variety of covered and open slides, drawbridges and other obstacle course features. There is a tot zone, albeit really small (like a couple little slides and low climbing areas and wall toys). Price for open play is pretty good, especially if you can pay cash. Plenty of comfy seating in actual armchairs for parents! Cons: If you're considering a birthday here, the price seems more on the expensive end. Parking is VERY cramped. I showed up 10 minutes before open play opened and nabbed one of the 4-5 spots in front - by the time my kids wanted to leave, the lot was full of cars and it was tough to get out.

We had our sons birthday here. The owner Jodi was a great communicator and had everything lined up and ready to go. Our son had a wonderful birthday and the kids had a blast. They were very accommodating and able to address our concerns, and took care all of the heavy lifting. It's a great experience and highly recommended for parents to have a great birthday for their kid with minimal effort. We also come here for open play and this place is always very clean. I highly recommend this place!!

We have been here twice for birthday parties, most recently our daughter's. The staff works extremely hard and everything is very organized. The cleanliness is what really stands out. We see staff members cleaning before, during, and after each group of kids and it really makes a difference. It smells fresh and clean everywhere which never happens at these types of kid activity centers. Every kid had the best time.

This location was a little smaller than I expected but still ample enough of a playground for my toddler to burn off some energy and have a good time. They also have a section for the younger tikes. Safari Run is also a kids' gym - I like the concept of encouraging kids to move their bodies more. They have a small but fun lobby area where you can eat your snacks or purchase some retail Montessori toys to take home. The biggest con is the parking lot - super limited parking so if you don't get here early, you'll need to park down the street somewhere.

I had my daughter's 5th birthday party at the San Mateo location and I can't stop raving about it. All of our guests were impressed by how clean the gym was and how well run it was. The party was a complete success with a well coordinated agenda. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, they even served the cake to the guests! The staff were extremely friendly to the kids and rallied them up. They communicated smoothly before the event and made sure all logistics were taken care of, including setting everything up, having a designated space for gifts, packing all food up for us, and bring it back to our car. I'm impressed by it all - the cleanliness, coordination, beautiful party room and arcade. This was by far the best experience I've had at a party venue. 100% recommend for parties.
