This location is inside Stonestown Galleria on the 1st floor next to Target. When we arrived, it was around 5:30pm and the mall was super busy. Parking is always a challenge here so if you plan on visiting, plan on arriving early. We checked in with the lady as soon as we walked in. She was very friendly and helped us get started. We put on these hats with sensors on it. You can adjust them to fit your head. There were several rooms inside and it's very spacious. There is a bathroom inside Gamebox so you don't have to walk all the way to the mall's food court to use it. There are several games to choose from: Batman, The Floor is Lava, Squid Game and you can play up to 5-6 people (I think) I could be wrong so please check the website. We booked to play Squid Game for 60 mins which cost me $104 for 3 people. The game was challenging and it was that day when I learned that I wouldn't last in a real Squid Games challenge (lol). I loved the fact that it was interactive. You will get a work out playing this game. My hubby, my son, and I had so much fun! Cant wait to go back!

The facility is clean and you can even see the staff keeping the space tidy /clean thoroughout the day. There's a great play space for all ages. I'm always impressed with their staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and more importantly, they communicate well! During the party planning process, they're very transparent with the process. They send out clear emails detailing timelines of things that need to be. On the day of the party, I was able to enjoy hosting and talking while the staff helped me set up the party room beyond my expectations. The staff was very efficient on making sure they help you load / unload all the belongings back into your car. We can't wait to host more future parties here. My son always has a good time here!

This new location has a lot of great new tools and supplies for arts & crafts projects. It's an informal drop-in location that allows kids to discover, explore, and be hands-on with science experiments, small animals, or crafts/woodworking. The knowledgeable staff usually provides a couple of self starter, pre-configured fun projects at every session. Some past project examples have included sewing projects, building 9-volt battery based electrical circuits with switches, motors, & lights, dissecting a pig's heart, woodworking projects, and making mosaic designs with glass & mirrors. This is where I take my kid to make a safe, fun, and educational mess!

So much fun for kids and adults!…read more We went to Escapology at Stonestown last night with a big group--my kids plus nephews and nieces, all between ages 7 and 12--and it was an absolute blast. We did the Murder Mansion room using Kids Mode, and honestly, I was impressed. It was still challenging enough to keep everyone engaged, but not so hard that the kids got frustrated. Watching them collaborate, problem-solve, and get genuinely excited when clues clicked was the best part. And yes--we actually escaped! Most importantly, every single kid had an amazing time. On the way home (and again this morning), they kept asking when we can go back. That's the real five-star test. Great experience, well-run, and perfect for families looking for something fun and different to do in San Francisco. We'll definitely be back again.

So we take a break from walking our dog around our environs at least twice a month. A popular destination is this venue, maybe a five minute drive. It is another of the little urban parks that dot San Francisco. Over on the west side, away from Market Street, you would not have any sense of the narrative that has gripped the city. Everything is fine. This is an area with spacious homes, wide streets, and families who are out for an amble. I cannot see anyone making more of an effort to get here than we do. It is perfect for what it is, a playground in a residential area.

He walked the entire park a few times. They had a cool netted structure for older kids to climb and it can be spun which was interesting. There are connected basketball courts and a lawn close by that I saw people playing with their dogs. Maybe it's a dog park? Overall, the park felt safe and was in the middle of a neighborhood, but so small we ran out of things to do for my 17 month old. The structure was also old and I could see the rusty bolts peeking through the broken metal parts. Don't think I'll go back but if it's already in your neighborhood then worth a short walk over and a short stay.

Review for Clubhouse rental-…read more You submit your request on the SF Park and Recs website and there are a bunch of restrictions (no jumpers, no helium balloons, etc). The rental is $90/hr and they tack on an extra fee ( I forgot what it was) for a SF park and rec person to be there monitoring the clubhouse while you host your event. They pretty much are out of the way while you have your party -- they sit in a room doing their homework. Parking - Plentiful on the street and no restrictions on time on the weekends. We choose this park because it was close off the freeway and because of available parking. You clean up the clubhouse (disposal of trash) into there dumpster outside. You get your deposit back in about 1.5 weeks. Bathroom - it's shared with the playground people but there is a separate entrance to go in from the clubhouse. Clubhouse itself is bright and airy with a high ceiling. They provide LIFETIME brand rectangular tables and chairs. (In terms of dimension of the tables -- when I emailed the recreation office, they did not know the dimension size). If you want to check out the clubhouse, you'll have to pay extra fee for them to opened it for you. Otherwise, it's LOCKED. Just because you rent out the clubhouse for a private event, the playground is still open to the public.

Looking for a quiet playground in San Francisco without the chaos? This hidden Sunnyside park is…read moreone of the best low-traffic spots for kids -- calm, clean, and actually relaxing. Not flashy -- just functional, peaceful, and easy with kids. It's not the biggest or most popular park in SF, but that's exactly why it works. It feels tucked into the neighborhood instead of crowded or overstimulating, which makes it way more manageable with little ones. We've had picnic days here where my baby just watches the dogs running around, and somehow it turns into its own little show -- simple, low-effort, and surprisingly perfect. If you've ever searched for a quiet park in San Francisco, a low-traffic playground for toddlers, or just somewhere you can actually breathe while your kid plays -- this is one of those spots. Good for: All ages (best for toddlers-~8) What matters: * Playground: Yes (rubbery cushion flooring -- great for little ones) * Baby-friendly: Open field for picnics + watching other kids/dogs * Bathrooms: Yes (each restroom has a changing table -- super helpful) * Dog-friendly: Yes (dogs allowed in the park, but not inside the children's play area) * Seating: Several large picnic tables + scattered benches * Shade: Very limited -- can get hot on sunny days * Parking: Limited -- expect to walk in or get dropped off * Terrain: Mostly flat with paved paths (easy for strollers and wheelchairs) * Accessibility: Wheelchair-friendly layout overall Real-life insight: This is one of those parks that doesn't stand out at first -- but once you're there, you realize how much easier it is than busier San Francisco playgrounds. Less chaos, more space, and a calmer overall vibe. Pro tips: * Go on an overcast day -- this park shines when it's cool out since there's very little shade * After rain, bring a towel so you can dry off the play structure and still get a full park day in * Best for low-key days when you want something simple, not overstimulating

My niece and nephew love this park. It's hugeeeeeeee! Lots…read moreof space and grass to run around!! They have a bathroom!!! Thank goodness!!! Their structures are spaced out! It's fun. Even for me! Some thing unique other than swings and slides. Gives the kids a chance to actually use their body and strength. Test their own abilities. Only thing I don't like is, the mats are all holey and broken on some areas. Dangerous when a kid trips or sprain their ankles. I informed my babies to watch out for it and avoid it. I hope the groundskeeper will see it and fix it.
