Book a birthday and the play space is yours. No sharing with strangers, just you and your guests cheering on your birthday kid.
A professional cleaning crew is on-site every day. Every pad, tunnel, and lookout area in the play structure gets a deep clean daily. Floors are disinfected four times a week. Kids wash their hands before and after play. On party days, the crew cleans between every party so each family walks into a fresh space. Peanut-free, allergy-aware.
Everything we offer is shaped around how kids actually play. Whatever day you drop in, it's built around them, not us.
Drop off, drop in, or celebrate. Our staff sets up, runs the games, serves the food, and cleans up. You get to breathe.
Safari Run San Mateo is the original location, built by one family who believed kids thrive when movement and fun go hand in hand. Designed through years of listening to parents and watching children play, the space encourages active movement, confidence, and healthy habits.
Kids climb, run, and explore in a clean, welcoming environment while parents appreciate the structure, visibility, and caring staff that make every visit feel safe, supported, and FUN.
Parties, open play, private open play, fitness classes, and summer camps — all in one place. Tap a chip to filter, tap any block to learn more.
