"Looking for something fun to do with your 0–6 year old on a rainy or cold day... check out the new open play space in Novato called Playtime Safari. I took the kids... and we all had a blast. They had a great time playing and running around... and I had a great time chatting with the other moms and was able to watch them play at all times... read more"--Pamela, MarinMommies

 
 
 

About Us

We are a new indoor play spot and activity center in Marin County, CA right off highway 101 in Novato, near Hamilton, for babies and toddlers and young preschool children up to age five or six. We provide a wonderful environment for parents and caregivers to socialize with each other while spending quality time with their children. 

See us on "View from the Bay" (video clip)!

We offer a large variety of activities to keep growing hands and minds busy and entertained, such as: 

  • 8 foot long train table 
  • animal costume dress up 
  • mini kitchen 
  • book corner 
  • cultural musical instruments
  • play store
  • enclosed infant play area
  • puzzle play table
  • and more!
Oh, and we require that you take off your children's shoes while they play in the center, and we have cubbies for all your belongings. (You might want to dress your child in easy-on easy-off shoes like Crocs or boots.) 

In addition to our open play indoor environment, we are available for birthday parties (book soon we are filling up fast!), playgroup gatherings, and evening and weekend events.
