Last month I was overjoyed to be going into the city for my nephew's birthday party at this fun…read morefactory! Located in the local & city combo vibed Geary neighborhood in San Francisco, Peek-a-Boo packs a lot into a well organized kids space. Although it has limited seating, the entry way contains some retro distraction as you wait to be let into the main play area where your party time begins - those coin operated machines from the 80's that you win a prize from when you turn the slot with 2-4 quarters. My nephew & I played two. Then as his friends and their parents started arriving, it was the official time for his party start time and so our family could walk through the locked gate into the kids world of swings, slides, climbing walls, and colorful tunnels and passageways. For an estimated 90 minutes, about 20 kids ran through the time of their lives as their parents and Auntie looked on in awe haha! A face painter was also setup on one side of that main room who painted next level and intricate animal, tribal, and celestial themed designs on some of the kids' faces while the others played. When the clock ticked to a certain time, the staff made an announcement to head towards the back party room for pizza, cupcakes, and presents. (My brother chose the food options and arranged for them to be delivered ahead of time.) The staff had setup the room perfectly, with a happy birthday banner over the cupcakes on the middle table, then little tables setup on both sides of that table with snacks, drinks, pizza, goodie bags, and long tables setup in the middle for the kiddos to sit at comfortably as they entered the room. Then the staff served them pizza. It was a sweet time - filled with laughter, smiles, birthday song, and full bellies. What a wonderful Sunday afternoon of childhood bliss!

We had an amazing time for my son's sixth birthday party…read more The staff were absolutely incredible and did literally everything for us - we brought a wagon with some decorations (since my son wanted a unique theme that they didn't have), the cake, and party favors that weren't even in their bags yet. They did literally everything and made it incredibly easy to just have fun and talk to other parents while our kids had a blast. They even sliced the cake and lit the candle for us. Had no idea it was possible to have such a little stress birthday party for the kiddo!

They did an amazing job setting up for our chosen theme and helping to manage the flow of decor, food, people and presents throughout the party. The space is setup wonderfully to support all ages and keep the kids contained and alleviate the pressure on parents. It is helpful to have the flexibility to set our own schedule within the party time on when we eat, do cake, etc. The team did a great job helping us out and checking in and making it a great day!

I brought my nephew and niece to this museum for the museums's temporary bubble and foam event, and…read morethey had a blast. I really appreciated all of the different areas that were available for kids. Even though it was packed on the day we went, it never felt too crowded because of how many activities there were! There was never a moment that we waited for anything, if one area felt to dense, we would hop to the next area. It was perfect. You could honestly spend all day here. The bubbles and foam integrations were so cool. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to the people that coordinated the foam party. Every kid that I saw looked like they were having so much fun. My nephew did not want to leave. This place is also nice for adults because of the beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Just being able to see such beautiful views made the day so much better, it felt like it was an outing for me as well. Parking is horrible so plan to arrive early or you might be looking for parking for quite a while, however we did go during the last weekend of the bubbles and foam event so that may not always be the case. Overall, the entire family had a great time and we would definitely visit again if in the area.

I had seen this place advertised on Instagram, and I'm happy that it lived up to the hype!…read more ATTRACTIONS: This museum is perfect for toddlers through early elementary aged kids. My kids had a delightful time exploring the vast offerings: playgrounds, musical instruments, arts and crafts, bubbles, etc. We spent a few hours here and didn't get to explore everything, so I think that means we will have to return! PARKING: Parking is free and right by the entrance. There are several good spots for a family photo in front of the GG Bridge. OTHER: -there is a restaurant/cafe with better than expected prices and better than expected food. However, the line gets long and online ordering didn't work when we visited this month. -There is a gift shop with fair prices and lots of unique toys/art supplies. I was able to get a birthday gift for a friend. -Check in staff was really friendly and polite, but other staff was not as approachable.

There are a few different areas to play, including one for basketball and one for dodgeball. The kids didn't play at the basketball area as much since there were teenagers playing there but they enjoyed the main trampoline area where there are plenty of trampolines to jump around and a section where you can dive onto a mat. The place is considerably clean and we didn't find anything that would have raised any concerns. However, the set up for birthday parties can be lacking since there's a long table for guests to sit and eat but it can be cramped if your party size is larger than 10 children. The space for guests to use when hosting a party can create a bottleneck when the food arrives, with everyone trying to get food in a limited space. Luckily the party next to us finished early so we ended up using their table as well. Parking in the area can be challenging during the weekends, and costs $3 per hour. We found this place to be safe enough to let your kids run around by themselves while parents can relax.

Our son started at Peekadoodle when he was about to turn 3 and the change in him over the past 2 years has been remarkable. His vocabulary and social skills exploded and his little (big) personality really started to shine. He loves all of the teachers and staff so much and really looks forward to school. He surprises us almost daily with the things he's learned! I've also been lucky enough to meet some amazing friends in the parents and staff.
