Welcome to Safari Run
Since 2006

Built by a family. for yours.

Safari Run opened in San Mateo in 2006, founded by Jodi Eichensehr, a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer since 1990, and Rob Eichensehr. Twenty years, locations across California and Texas, and 500,000+ families later, we're still doing what we built it for: giving kids a clean, safe space to run wild while parents can relax, or jump in and play if they want to.

Our history

How Safari Run began.

A family idea that took off.

The boys wanted fast slides, big padded ladders, and animals. Jodi and Rob wanted safety, cleanliness, and structured fitness. Safari Run was the result - a fitness-based indoor jungle where what kids want and what parents need finally share the same room.

Where play meets fitness.

Twenty years later, that idea holds up. Kids come to run, climb, and party. They don't notice the workout, and that's exactly the point. Every jungle is designed so kids leave tired, parents leave trusting the space they walked into, and the whole family already wants to come back.
