The original Safari Run — trusted by families for clean play, unforgettable private parties, and camps.
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.
Every kid needs a signed waiver before they can play. Takes about two minutes — and it's good for the whole year.
Thoughtfully designed experiences where kids stay active and happy, and parents feel comfortable, confident, and welcome.
Fully hosted parties designed for smooth flow and active fun. Our team plays alongside the kids while we handle setup and cleanup, so you can enjoy the moment.
Drop in for open play where kids climb, crawl, and explore across our play structure and running track, while parents relax nearby in a comfortable space.
Reserve the structure for your group when you want quieter, contained time without the open-play crowd. Great for playgroups and small celebrations.
Week-long camps packed with games, movement, crafts, and teamwork. Kids laugh, play hard, make friends, and earn Safari Dollars.
Structured fitness with playful breaks. Kids build agility, balance, strength, and confidence through exercises and obstacles across the play structure.
Drop-off evenings for parents who need a night out. Dinner, games, movies, and free play in the structure — kids stay busy while you get a break.
Flexible memberships and punch cards make it easy for San Mateo families to visit often, save on play, and give kids a place they love coming back to.
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.
A few small things keep the jungle running smoothly so everyone has fun.
No shoes, no bare feet. We sell socks at the front if you forget.
One adult per family stays inside. Snack area is right there — sit, relax, watch.
Take turns, share the slide, cheer on a stranger. The jungle is more fun when everyone gets a chance to play.
Every floor is staffed. If they ask your kid to slow down, they mean it with love.
