About
Us
We are a new indoor play spot and activity
center in Marin County (with AIR CONDITIONING!) 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
-
did we mention air conditioning?
-
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 sandals.)
Playtime Safari is proud to support creative
and talented moms. Look at the wonderful new retail items for sale
