I love this place. So nice and clean and perfect to teach your kids some independence. I also like how secure it is. I just wish they would make the green slide not so fast and also the things that kids climb on a little shorter as my 2.5 year old struggled a bit with that. But even with these definitely a customer for life.

Took my 3 year old today for the first time. The place was clean and the play areas were a good size and lots to do. There are some obstacles that may make it difficult for small kids so be careful. They also had a small arcade that we did not go to but will check out next time. My daughter had a blast. Will be back.

We had a wonder-filled 4th birthday for my daughter - our first real party since the pandemic! The service is excellent: 5 stars! They were so attentive, organised and engaged from the beginning. All our guests complimented us on our choice of hosting at Safari Run. We actually enjoyed the party ourselves as parents because they take care of everything. Kids were thrilled! We are so happy! We'll be back for more celebrations.

One of the best place to throw your kids birthday party. Very very well organized and staff was so amazing and detailed oriented. Once you drop your kid you don't have to worry. From beginning to end of the party you don't have to do anything. Staff will do everything for you. Loved it.
