***This review is for the week-long summer camp…read more We had a GREAT experience with Safari Run this summer. We signed our two kids up (ages 6 & 8) and they said this is their favorite camp. Pros: - Length of time / it's an all-day camp from 8:30-3:30. - Variety of activities / they stay indoors most of the day either playing in the play structure area or in the party room doing arts and crafts. However, they also have a designated area in the spacious parking lot to do activities as well so the kids do get fresh air outside. - Staff / the camp counselors are AWESOME! Super patient, friendly, and sweet to the kids. Ms. Yadira, Zoe, and Jojo need a raise. They were SO good to the kids! - Drive-thru drop-off and pick-up line / except for the first day of camp, you can use the drive-thru line for the rest of the week. Very convenient, safe, and fast since there's one staff member with the sign-out sheet and another staff member helps with loading or unloading the kids. - Communication / prior to camp, we received a detailed email that included information on timing, activities, and themes for the week. We knew exactly what to expect each day. - Photo privacy / they take photos and videos to post to their social media accounts, but if you want to opt your kids out, they honor that easily. - Snacks / two snacks were provided each day, but you bring your own lunch from home Cons: Can't think of any! This camp may not be right for older kids (the pre-teens), but for the littles, it was very fun. Highly recommend!

My daughter comes here whenever she gets the chance! She frequents here so often that I'd easily…read moreconsider her a regular!! Slime Kitchen offers hands-on fun for visitors of all ages. Here you will make your very own customized slime creation or you can opt to buy pre-made slime kits. The entire process consists of 10 steps: 1) Choosing your type of slime. There are 6 different options: CLEAR, ICEE, CLASSIC, BUTTER, CLOUD, AND THICK + GLOSSY 2) Picking your slime scent. Options vary from fruit loops, tropical, candy crush, snickerdoodle, plumeria, + monkey farts [just to name a few]. 3) Pick your slime color. 4) Mixing the slime with your choice of scent and color. 5) Adding activator to find your preferred level of stickiness. 6) Adding Glitter + Shine. 7) Adding Foam Products 8) Adding Sprinkle Fun Mixes 9) Play with your slime. Squish, punch, pull , and stretch it to your desires. 10) Prepare to package up you creation and top your slime off with your choice of charms. Reservations are not required and the establishment offers private parties/celebrations. This process from start to finish can be quick or prolonged, depending on how much time you have or what you want. There have been instances where the process took my child 15 mins and others where she would linger for 45 mins or so. The staff here is always friendly and they take time to listen to their little clients. On a few occasions, including yesterday's recent visit, Ms. Emma was the employee to assist and interacted with my toddler. I appreciate her creating conversations, being patient, and uplifting my child during the entire process. Slime creating is a bit costly but the fun and confidence my child has when she exits the establishment is well worth it.

Had my daughter's birthday here today and it was awesome. We make slime at home all the time but…read morefor a birthday party this was pretty awesome. We did the full cup package so it wasn't cheap... so just know you're paying for the experience, not the ingredients as one other post calls out. :-) We had 19 kids and Kevin who was running the show did did a great job of wrangling that pack of crazies. We brought food and the parents kinda got kicked out of the main area which was great. We hung out in the mall and got to have some adult time (but were still close enough if the kids needed something).

I saw they had open play this weekend, so we came with our toddlers and a few friends. It's a…read morepretty new indoor playground so everything appeared new and pretty clean. I was able to catch up with friends while the toddlers went wild. They especially loved the ball pit and the slide that goes right into it. There was a car repair station, a dress-up area, and a cow you could feed with a bottle. I have no idea how it worked, but the kids figured it out! They also had an automated zip line, obstacle courses for the kids to climb through, and a merry-go-round. The kids had a great time, and even after two hours of play, my son wanted to go back. The only downside is that weekend open play can be a little tricky. They announce availability on Tuesdays, and even then you're limited to whichever time slots are open. I'd definitely come back. Just remember to bring grip socks, or you can purchase a pair there.

We came here for a birthday party during a weekend afternoon. My son had a good time, but this…read moreplace isn't for everyone. In terms of the play area itself, it's awesome! The ball pit and slides are super nice and one of the best I've seen in an indoor playground around this area. The pit is spacious, pretty deep but not too deep, and the balls look clean and well-maintained (no broken/deflated balls). The pretend play area is really fun, too. I've never seen such a nice pretend makeup/vanity mirror. There were multiple mirrors, so less likely for kids to fight over, and cool pretend mascara / blush / eyeshadow / brushes. The cow milking station is the most unique, and I have to say it's kinda disturbing to me lol. But kids really loved milking the cow and feeding the baby cows the bottles. It is a little frustrating because the cows kept running out of "milk" periodically. The layout of the area is pretty nice when you're having a birthday party because you're not too far from the other parents so it's conducive to socializing instead of spending the whole time chasing after your kid. As for the negatives, and why I wouldn't recommend this place for every kid, I felt like there were too many rules. There were signs posted everywhere saying not to do stuff: don't take toys out of the pretend play area, don't take balls out of the ball pit, parents can't join the ball pit or jungle gym (unless your child is under 2), don't climb on this, etc etc.. I felt like the rules were way more stringent than other play areas. I understand that it keeps the play area neat / more fun for the kids if everything is in the right place, everyone is behaving etc, but this definitely wouldn't be a good place if your kid is neurodivergent or wild/noncompliant. As for the birthday party itself, attending as a guest it seemed a little messy because it was shared with multiple parties at once overlapping, and our food room was actually quite delayed because the party ahead of us was late and refused to get out in time. I've been to much more organized birthday venues.

Otto Family Club was amazing to work with for my son's first birthday! They were easy,…read moreprofessional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. They created a custom outdoor play experience at the park for the kids to explore, play, and stay engaged during the party. It was such a unique and fun addition to the celebration, and so many parents asked for their information afterward. Highly recommend Otto Family Club for birthdays, family events, and anyone looking to create a fun and memorable experience for kids!

What a fun place! Otto Family Club is a lovely addition to Sunnyvale. I took my 2yo to a class and…read moreI was thoroughly impressed. The teachers meticulously plan out the sessions and they post the themes well in advance on Instagram. There are structured activities but also other toys for free play if your kiddo isn't feeling it that day. The best part is that you don't have to clean up afterward!! The location is on the second floor of the building. There's some parking right in front, but also plenty of street parking. There's only downfall is that they currently don't have classes on the weekends for working parents, but I hear some will be offered soon!

We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, and it was absolutely amazing! I…read moretruly have no complaints about the experience. The entire birthday party process was seamless from beginning to end. They provide a designated party area, you can order food directly through them, and their team brings everything out, sets things up, and handles the cleanup afterward. As a parent hosting a kids' birthday party, having so much taken care of for you makes a HUGE difference. I also felt the pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included. We added Danny the Dragon as our entertainment, and my son LOVED it! Danny interacted with the kids, played games with them, and made the celebration feel extra special. There was so much for the kids to do between the birthday activities, rides, playgrounds, and animals. My only regret was choosing the 1:30 PM party time instead of the earlier 10:30 AM option. If I could do it again, I would absolutely choose the morning time and make a full day of it. There is simply too much to see and do! Between enjoying the party itself, riding the rides, and seeing all of the animals, we ran out of time and didn't get to experience everything. We'll definitely be going back to finish what we missed! 100% recommend Happy Hollow for a child's birthday party. It was fun for the kids, easy for the adults, reasonably priced, and incredibly well organized. Such a wonderful place to celebrate a little one!

Very entertaining park for children while still lively and interesting for parents at the zoo…read more There was plenty of available parking, but it was a bit pricey. It was $10 for any amount of time, and a staff member consistently warned visitors entering about potential fines. Before the ticket booth, there were bronze sculptures of animals and funnily shaped characters. Notably, those in the sun were covered up, most likely to protect children from burns in the intense heat. There wasn't much of a crowd despite my weekend visit, and everyone was swift and friendly. We paid $22 per adult for entry. I highly recommend coming near opening, as the animals were being fed and were incredibly active. When I swung by some of the exhibits later in the day, many of them weren't out and about since there wasn't any food tempting them. One complaint would be how inaccurate the map was. While it depicted specific pathways, turns, and connections, it was nothing like that in reality. It was difficult to keep track of which animals we had seen as the exhibits were oriented differently throughout the park. Rides had specific hours when they were open, so if your child has a specific ride in mind, I would double-check the day's schedule. Otherwise, there were constant shows distributed throughout the day. The center of the park was perfect for picnics, as the grass was well maintained and there was some shade from the larger trees. Unfortunately, the jaguar was unavailable during my visit, but the other animals made up for it. I adored the capybaras and their intense munching on lettuce and carrots. My favorite had to be the fennec foxes as they pranced around in the sun. Not the largest zoo, but it was a fun supplement to the rides and amusement park. The animal exhibits alone were enough to keep me entertained, while the rides, shows, and picnic areas gave children plenty to do. I just wished the parking and admission were a bit cheaper.

My son has been coming to the 6-9 class for the past few months, and I honestly can't say enough…read moregood things about our experience. The owners are wonderful people with strong values, and you can tell they genuinely care about every kid who walks through their doors. It's not just about learning ninja skills. They intentionally invest in the kids' character too. At the end of each class they do a short character lesson on things like humility, obedience, and other life lessons. As a parent, I really appreciate that they're helping build both confidence and character. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed a huge difference in my son. He used to be nervous about things like the monkey bars, and now he's climbing, hanging, and excited to try new obstacles. It's been really fun to watch that confidence carry over into everyday life outside of class. My daughter also did a trial of the Sidekicks class for 2-3 year olds, and she absolutely loved it. It was the perfect mix of movement, exploration, and play for her age. Both of my kids have tried gymnastics, and while they enjoyed it, this has been a completely different experience. The classes change every week, so they're never doing the exact same thing twice. The obstacle layouts are always different, which keeps the kids engaged and excited to come back. Between the monkey bars, running walls, balance obstacles, rope swings, and everything in between, there's always a new challenge. Another thing I really like is that the kids are evaluated on their skills and can continue progressing through different levels. It gives them something to work toward while still making it all about having fun. Last thing, they have huge windows for the parents viewing area and they have a play section for the siblings. Our 3 year old daughter has fun with magnifies and blocks while her older brother is in class. If you're looking for an activity that builds confidence, challenges your kids, and keeps them moving, I'd absolutely recommend USA Ninja Challenge. We've loved being part of it.

This is an incredible program -- my son absolutely loves it and gets better every single week. The…read morecourses are challenging, thoughtfully designed, and change regularly, which keeps the kids engaged and excited to come back. Coach Arnoldo and Coach Dina have built this place with so much care, from the excellent student-to-teacher ratio to the way they motivate and encourage every child. We've been attending classes for several months now and couldn't be happier. It's an outstanding course for kids and a wonderful way to channel high energy into discipline, perseverance, and self-belief. The program develops agility, balance, coordination, and overall fitness, but what truly stands out is the focus on mental resilience. Kids are encouraged to try, fail, reset, and try again in a positive, supportive environment. If you're considering it, take a trial class -- you won't regret it. Highly recommend for families looking for something active, confidence-building, and genuinely fun.

My kids came home and told me so much fun and kept talking about " green bean fly's recipes". It is 2 hours session and I was surprised how much they have learned. Neeba is very wonderful and patient with the kids. Also, the class is very well planned and organized. Each kid has their colorful little chef's outfit, chef's hat, note for recipes, and the kid's friendly cooking tools. The kids will learn how to take instruction, how to work together, and how to have fun and eat with their new friends. My kids already asked when they can join again. Thank you Neeba for hosting such a fun and educated workshop!

He invented different ways and stories to play these tables. These tables are very high-quality: clean, well-prepared, full of details, and mostly very fun. We have a sensory table at home, but the one here has much more details, like discovering all the snowflake treasures with Elsa. My son had so much fun with the tables. The booking process is also worry-free: just go meet and play and everything is already setup for you.
