The original Safari Run - multi-level climbing, a running track, a full arcade, and a separate toddler zone, in the building where it all started in 2006. Trusted by families for private parties, camps, and clean play.
Open Play is only $15 per child for the month of October.
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 crew deep-cleans every pad, tunnel, and lookout daily. Floors disinfected four times a week, hands washed before and after play, and a fresh clean between every party. Peanut-free.
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.
