Since 2006

Built by a family. for yours.

Jodi and Rob Eichensehr opened the first Safari Run in San Mateo in 2006. Twenty years, four locations, and 500,000+ families later, we still build for the same thing: kids running wild, parents actually relaxing.

Our history

How Safari Run began.

A family idea that took off.

The boys wanted fast slides, big padded ladders, and animals. Jodi and Rob wanted safety, cleanliness, and structured fitness. Safari Run was the result - a fitness-based indoor jungle where what kids want and what parents need finally share the same room.

Where play meets fitness.

Kids come to run, climb, and party. They never notice the workout, which is exactly the point. They leave tired. You leave trusting the place. Everyone wants to come back.
