We just hosted our second birthday party at Safari Run Sunnyvale, and once again, they absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the moment we arrived, it genuinely felt like everyone on staff was excited to be celebrating our son. That kind of energy doesn't happen by accident--and it's a direct reflection of Genessa, the manager. Her attention to detail, calm leadership, and the way she supports and leads her team is truly impressive. You can feel it in every interaction. The staff was organized, warm, attentive, and so clearly happy to be there. The facility itself is spotless, well-run, and perfect for kids. And can we talk about the food? It's actually good--which is rare for kids' party venues. On top of that, the fact that they allow outside cold platters with no additional charge is an absolute game changer for parents planning a party. Everything felt easy, joyful, and stress-free--which is exactly what you hope for when hosting a child's birthday. We left saying the same thing we did last year: why would we go anywhere else? I sincerely hope my kids never grow out of Safari Run, because we would happily keep hosting parties here for years to come. Huge thank you to Genessa and the entire team for another unforgettable celebration! read more

We attended a birthday party here and our daughter loved it! She got to run around with her friends, it was a great way to tire her out! Loved the full service with engaging staff with fun game and activities. The flow of the event went smoothly and all the kids enjoyed themselves read more

With it being ski week and its been pouring rain i need to find activities for my 5 year old twins to do. So today it was safari run. I am not a huge fan of indoor playgrounds because they are usually dirty and parents dont watch their kids. This place is not like that at all. First its spotless, they even make the kids wash their hands when they enter! The area where the parents sit to watch is directly in front of the play structure so you can have eyes on the kids all the time. Of course when you arrive for the first time you have to fill out a waiver. Which is understandable, what makes this place different is instead of my twins standing there while I fill out the waiver amd try to keep them under control, one of the amazing staff members asked if it would be ok for the kids to go in. FANTASTIC! Obviously this wouldnt work with smaller children but my twins were able to go in, take off their shoes, wash their hands and start playing before I even paid. This is such a blessing. After I paid and they explained the rules about food and water and where to eat AND then another staff member showed me where my kids shoes were and where I could be watching them. The staff is so incredibly nice and the place is super clean. I was so impressed. My boys played for over two hours and even made a friend. We will definitely be back !!! read more

We were invited for a 1st birthday party and this is the place they choose. I would say this is very nice for young babies and kids. The staff are friendly and good with kids. Make sure before going here, submit the waiver. For the sanitary of this place, they highly recommend the kids to wear socks to play. After 1hr of play we were sent to Lion Den"party room" to eat. We had 4 different flavors of pizza. My husband liked the Samosa sticks pizza. I recommend this place for your next birthday party for your kids. read more

We had my niece's 3rd birthday here and it was A BLAST. I have to add that my niece has never had a birthday party before because Covid killed that for her last 2 birthdays... so this was a really big deal. She's obsessed with Lion King so the safari theme was perfect. When you book, you reserve a private space for your party goers; you get the entire play area for your guests. They had everything set up so nicely: present cart, welcome sign... staff to monitor within the jungle gym area. Everything was spotless and clean. Not only were the kids having fun but the adults were just loving it! There's also comfortable seating within the area for family to sit, socialize and observe. There's soft music playing in the background (not overbearing like in most kid's gyms). The structure is safe, soft, netted and not massive so you can easily spot the kiddos. This place seems better suited for kids 8 and younger, IMO. Everyone must wear socks to play, just fyi. My brother and I were making bets about how many kids were going to have a meltdown after the play time was over but it never happened. Here is why: After the play time is up, staff makes a beautiful transition from play time to sitting on a mat, group picture, to hand washing, to party room (for food and cake). It is seriously a well-oiled machine. THEY WERE ON IT!! The staff was so nice, organized; they got all the kids seated, and before you know it, they all had pizza in front of them (my family brought in the pizza). NO JOKE; not a PEEP from these kids! They were kept busy the entire time. Staff set up the salad, fruit, drinks and cake beautifully... beyond organized! I worked in the restaurant industry for many years and my jaw was dropped watching the staff seamlessly keep a group of 50 people (including 20 hungry hyper kids) in order. The ambiance inside is so colorful and fun with murals, paintings, paper lanterns. There are several high tops for the adults and a long table for the kids so they are centralized. There is a long counter with plenty of room for food and the staff does all of the initial serving. As soon as the eating and cake is over, you then transition to another room for last pics and goodbyes, handing out gift bags (my sister made hers). I can't emphasize enough how flawless it was. I've never been to a more fun and organized kids party in my life. More important than anything, my niece was the happiest little girl I have ever seen that day. She had so much fun with her friends and family. Absolutely priceless memories. If you're on the fence about having a party here... absolutely do it! read more

We went to a birthday party here and loved it, and so we had our son's birthday party here 3 weeks later. What really stands out about this place is that it's CLEAN, the staff is friendly, and the pizza is tastes GOOD. The kids have a great time. read more

Safari Run is such a great indoor spot for young kids! I love how clean it is, and the staff are always so friendly. My son loves going on the slides--they're super fun and FAST! Mei, the owner, is always welcoming and helpful. I'd highly recommend this indoor play area for birthdays and open play! read more

We had our son's bday party here. Everything from start to finish was so well organized. Bella and Janessa did a great job of explaining us everything and ensuring everything was well planned. They have staff that helps you unload stuff from your car, organize it, greet guests, play with kids, serve food, hand out return gifts. The play area itself is huge, new, clean and well maintained and since you can fully reserve it, it's a nice contained environment with known kids and guests. The kids had a blast in the play area, the staff even plays some fun games. They have a pretty structured program - 50 mins play, 10 mins wash hands and restroom break and then 40 mins cake cutting and food. The cake cutting and food is in a different room. It's all decorated so you don't need to worry about adding extra decor. For food, you can order only from their affiliated restaurant- tasty subs and pizza. This is the only downside, but they let you bring your own side of cold plates such as sandwiches or fruits. Also the cake cutting and eating food can seem slightly rushed. But overall it's a great venue for hosting kids bday party! read more

Very clean but small space however we went on a Wednesday. There were 10 kids and ample room to play. You're required to sign a waiver, the attendant explained the rules, and I like that you're required to wash your hands prior to playing. We used a groupon for 3 hours of open play for $12. Worth it! read more

Safari Run - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came here for a birthday party and I thought the entire event was very well done. The entire venue was booked out for our private party so the kids got an hour of free play, running through the play structure or playing with the athletic balls that they left out. I think this place is probably a little better suited for the older kids as younger tots would physically have a tough time navigating through the play structure. When it was time to move to the party room, the staff did a good job of corraling everyone, even making sure to get all the kids' attention for a photo opp first. In the party room, everything was nicely set up and the staff made quick work with serving all the kids some pizza slices and fresh fruit. At one point, they entertained the kids by playing the i-spy game with various hidden items in the paintings on the walls. Then it was time for birthday cake and the staff immediately packed up all the food after so the hosts didn't have to lift a finger. Everyone was then ushered into a separate room to pick up goodie bags and then it was time to go. Nice and easy for the guest parents and stress-free for host parents, Safari Run is a good venue option for your next birthday party. read more

Came here on a hot day to heat the heat and so glad we came! Genessa was kind and explained the process - we signed waivers at the front, shoes aren't to be worn on the play structure (socks needed), and kids are to wash their hands before play. The space has quite a few seating areas for parents to lounge while kids play. There are chairs and tables outside the play area for snack time. They even have snacks, drinks and toys available for purchase near the front. We appreciated the notices on the table that share they are a peanut free facility to accommodate those with allergies. Overall we had a great experience here and would be back again. read more

I hosted my child's birthday party at Safari Run and it went so smoothly. The booking process was easy online, the team was really communicative with helping me through the planning process with phone calls/emails, and the party went so well. I could not ask for a better event! My child had fun. I didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff were welcoming to me when I arrived, rolling out a cart to help bring stuff from my car. They were so lovely to all of my guests, the staff offered the parents water while we stood around watching the kids play. The staff hosted games, took a group picture, and helped wrangle the kids to go to the party room. I felt like a guest at my child's bday party and got to enjoy myself! The party room was so lovely, the staff were so great with offering the kids their food and bday cake. They kept the party timeline moving along smoothly and all of the guests were out promptly and I didn't have to deal with a party lasting forever. I loved how clean the place was. So amazing! read more

Safari Run - Clean fun facilities - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Not super packed , not overly loud. Just perfect my kid has fun and I don't mind it. Love this place!

Very clean indoor place for kids party. They are timed, so their staffs are managing the kids activities at a very timely manner at their scheduled time for each activity. I like the fact that they clean the jungle house after each party! As the kids were leaving to the dining room for lunch, staffs are already starting to clean for the next party to come. Each areas a few staffs stationed in the area to help and mange activities They cater their pizza from taste sub, which we just had the night before. Pizza is decent! I love the garlic chicken the most and like the dough which is thick, soft and chewy. My kind of pizza. I don't know how many dining rooms they have, but the one we had was able to accommodate about 30-40 snuggly. I wish the rosining area is bigger with more rooms to wiggle. Otherwise, this is a great place for kids events. read more

Been wanting to try this place. Came here for open play this morning. Please make sure you check the website calendar for open play hours. Sign a waiver and then pay 15 dollars per child over one. Credit cards gets charged a service fee. There are cubbies for shoes- socks are required in the play area. I also placed my diaper backpack onto of the cubbies. The play area is ONE large room with a giant structure with a bunch of slides attached. There is a corner for toddlers under 3. There are tables outside the play area for you to eat or do work on your laptop. There are couches within the play area I noted a lot of parents lounging. Area to purchase snacks and Melissa and Doug toys. The place is very clean and so are the restrooms all the way in the back. Many stalls and a newish changing table with a diaper trash can. Mostly the other parents were all nice and kind which helped for our first visit. I do wish that some parents would re-enforce with their kids the toddler section. It is not fun for my 2 year old to have to fight to play on a mini slide with much bigger kids. They released these mini stuff balls which was a blessing. This place is really for bigger toddlers/younger elementary school aged children. My child had fun with the stuff balls and the toddler section when it wasn't crowded with big kids but didn't want to go onto the structure. Would come back when my kid is older. read more

Yesterday we had my son's 5th birthday party here. It was AMAZING from start to finish! The 2 things that stood out the most were the attentiveness of the staff and how clean and in good repair the facility was. From the moment we arrived in the designated birthday parent parking spot (where someone came out immediately with a cart to unload everything) to them setting up and serving all the food. Everything was seamless and so easy. I was able to enjoy the party with my son! The place was spotless (even the bathrooms) and I noticed while checking in they were up in the climbing structure cleaning between parties. Great place! I would give more than 5 stars if that were an option! read more

This place is fantastic. We went for a private Easter event, the kids of all ages loved it. My 4 year old had an absolute blast told me he wants to go back there again and again right before he fell asleep. The owners are hardworking and kind, and are family people. Let the kids go have fun and support your local business. read more

Fun play space. The kids enjoyed the zombie tag game. Employees even clean the play area between sessions, which I don't usually see - impressive. Standard party pipeline from play area to eating area and gift exchange. read more

We came here for a birthday party. As a business the employees here operate an extremely optimized, efficient, and high-value system. Children will first get a chance to play in the play area, which includes a section for toddlers and larger play structure for kids. After playing and sanitizing the hands, children and parents are escorted to a dining room that is animal-themed. Everyone is served pizza, sandwiches, and the desserts/cake that you bring. After dining, everyone is escorted to a room where birthday bags are given to all the children (while this is all happening another client is being helped through the same pricess). Thanks Safari Run! read more

We visited Safari Run on a rainy Monday morning, and it was empty, literally me and another family! Open play varies everyday so please look on their website for the schedule. You can also pay for private play if you have a group. It cost $15 for my son to play the whole time. Please wear your socks and wash your hands when you come into the playground. There are multiple slides, obstacle courses, and an infant area. Large area to run around and take a break. I, myself, was in the gym, getting on all the slides with my son just fine. They do sell snacks and drinks. There also is a section with educational toys from Melissa & Doug. We will definitely be coming back to play more. read more

Went here for our 3Y's birthday party. Very clean and well kept facility. Great play structure that's safe for toddlers to run around and expend some of their endless energy. The staff are very helpful from the beginning to the end of the experience. We were able to just enjoy time with our guests and the kids. They setup all of the directions we had brought, served food for the kids and helped keep everything running in a timely fashion. The only suggestion I would have is perhaps not having the staff play a game with the kids in the middle of the play time. For our age group which was 2-4Y primarily it was probably better if they had just run around more on the structure as they couldn't quite understand the game. read more

I celebrated my son's 3rd birthday here. They are just awesome.. staff is very organized and everything is structured.. they make sure that parents don't have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend this place On a side note.. I wish we could rent the place for a longer duration..60 mins in the play structure goes by too fast ( make sure that your guest gets there in time). Overall we love the place and the party was a hit! Thank you to the staff read more

Amazing staff!!! They literally did everything! Parents and kids were so happy. Definitely recommend Safari Run for your next birthday party! Thank you for making my son's birthday party so special! read more

Really small play area good for older kids, they do have a small area for toddlers but was a fun experience

We had our daughter's 5th birthday here and the kids had a blast. Ages ranging from 2 to 7 all kids had fun. As the mom of the bday kid usually I'm running around trying to handle all the things but not once did we have to do anything! Bella was one of the main people to help us during our party and she was very sweet. All staff were helpful, friendly, and made everything go off without a hitch! Several parents came and told me after how much they loved it. Aside from birthday parties, we come for open play and have never had a bad experience. For an indoor play structure, this place is super clean. We first came during the pandemic and were blown away with the tidiness of the place We'll be back again and again! read more

Can't be any better of a play spot for kids. Staff is awesome. Place is awesome. Highly recommend.

Went to my daughter's friend's birthday party, and was very impressed with the organization and cleanliness of this place. The staff were very attentive to the children's (and parents') needs. Highly recommend! read more

Chose this place to keep my grandson busy until til we went to Great America amusement park the next day. He loved all the play structures. Staff were friendly but did not monitor kids in play structure area. Had a couple moms getting snippy with each other because kids were miss behaving. No staff to be found in play area. Only at cashier area. read more

Wow! Usually I'm too lazy to write reviews even if they are very bad or very good. But I HAD TO write a review for the amazing birthday party experience Safari Run created for our preschooler! We had 20-25 kids and about 20 adults. Honestly, I was expecting a pretty good experience mainly cuz it would be fun BUT the entire staff made the party one to remember. I had tons of parents asking me information about how I found the location and how amazing the service was and EVERYTHING. I have a 2nd child (an infant) and I didn't have to lift a finger during the whole party. The party room (for eating & birthday cake) was big, clean, and super cozy. Even the walls were super cute (thats right - I had a parent comment on the awesome walls!). Mason led the kids in activities so that parents didn't have to worry about kids gettin rowdy and getting hurt. What a wonderful experience! Maria the lead staff member was so patient with me (i'm super OCD). I mean what an amazing team! I HIGHLY recommend this place for all kid parties!!! I wish I could write more but just a really great time! read more

Clean, fun, not too big, perfect for kids under 7 yo. You can see your kid through the net of climbing structure at all times, almost no blind spots, so you don't need to climb yourself in order not to loose your kid out of sight. Climbing structure is fully netted, very safe. There are comfy chairs for parents, separate zone for having snacks, sinks to wash hands right near the play structure. Price is very fair, $15 for 4 hours of Open Play, adults don't pay. Facility looks very new and nice, staff is friendly. The best value for money in our area. read more

I just had my daughter's 3's birthday party here. It was PERFECT! It was the first time I book a place for party. I had some concerns but it turned out to be perfect. The place is SUPER CLEAN. All my guests were impressed by the cleanness here, and told me it's "the cleanest indoor playground I've seen in the bay area". A staff stayed in the play structure the whole time to guide the kids and offer help if needed, so the parents didn't even need to pay much attention to their kids. We could just stand/sit in front of the structure and chat. Staff in the birthday room served the food well, so I got to talk to my guests and felt relaxed the whole time. I would highly recommend Sarafi Run for anyone looking for a place for a relaxing birthday party for kids. read more

We've been to about a dozen or so birthday parties at various venues in the bay area (Pump It Up, Gymboree, La Petite Playhouse, etc). We selected Safari Run for our son's bday party and was really pleased with it. Staff we had were amazing. They were helpful and very professional. They came by to let us know the schedule and updated us throughout the party. E.g. they asked us if we liked them to organize play games while kids were playing. We said no as kids were having so much time just running around on their own. They were great at preparing and serving the food. They tossed the salad, cut the fruits and walked around to pass out the food to kids and parents. Their pizzas were actually really good (not that you have a choice, you have to order theirs). We were allow to bring in packaged fruits and salad which were very easy from Costco. Def a stress free and fun experience for everyone. Can't go wrong with this place! read more

I had a Groupon for the place. They should not be selling goupons if they dont want to treat groupon customers properly. Very disappointed. Treat ALL your customers well if u want more customers. read more

Definitely recommend it here for the children. The staff and other parents are so friendly that it makes this place much more comfortable to enjoy having fun. read more

We absolutely loved our visit to Safari Run! My kiddos were able to climb to their hearts content while I could tell the entire location had been deep cleaned. I appreciated the hand washing station and mask policy. We will be back and ready to play some more! read more

Safari Run - Climb on in! - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I just wanted to send a big THANK you to the staff that worked on Sunday March 17th for my sons birthday party. I've done parties at other venues and Safari Run is by far the best organized venue, exceeds expectations on the customer service, cleanliness and the ease of a parent not having to worry or stress about anything. All of the parents got to relax on the comfy seats and enjoy their kids have a blast. Highly recommend!!!! read more

We had our twins' birthday party here and everyone was so impressed! We previously had gone for a private play and loved how clean it is. They do a great job cleaning between parties, too! Booking is easy to do online. The availability is clear to see on their calendar and most of the info you need is available on their website. From the moment you arrive, they truly take care of everything. Check-in is a breeze when you have your guests fill out waivers online. They have staff to help bring in items and organize it for you. They ask questions to make sure everything is up to your standards. They even load up your car which is amazing when you have multiple kids to load up as well. The pizza was pretty good. The toppings were plentiful and it was still warm by the time we ate. I appreciated how the staff went around multiple times to make sure both kids and parents had enough to eat. We had such a pleasant experience we booked our other kid's party for the summer. read more

We recently hosted my child's birthday party here and had an excellent experience. The staff took care of everything and allowed us hosts to enjoy the party as much as the guests. There was a staff member at the front, one on the play space floor, two running the party room in the back and a floater. The staff was very professional, and the party was very well organized. We especially appreciated how kind the staff was and how well each staff member engaged the kids with little games. Lastly, the place is very clean. Hosting an event there is not cheap, but we felt it was well worth it for the great experience that we and our guests had. read more
