Imagination Playhouse

This place is small and cozy so I recommend renting out the whole place for a party. I probably wouldn't come here for open play but for parties it's perfect. It has a range of play areas for crawlers and toddlers, as well as older kids (probably up to 6-7years old max). Plenty of metered street parking and cute stores around.

Came here on a Thursday around 2pm. It was pretty empty, but the staff was very friendly. It's pretty spacious with both big play structures (climbing, slides, tunnels, ball pit) and smaller play area for younger kids. My 5 year old had a blast climbing and going down the slides. It also checked the ball pit box (which she'd been wanting to experience).

Great set up, clean + friendly staff made for a great experience.

We hosted our daughter's 2nd birthday here and it was absolutely perfect. We made arrangements ahead of time to rent the entire space and paid for a decorating package.

Susie was absolutely great to work with and was even able to accommodate our needs for a pink baby shark birthday for our little one. They are super nice and accommodated our group.

We arrived and set up the food and did not have to worry about decorations or table settings. It was the WAY to go, no more renting an extra hour just to haul my own decorations and set up before the event. (We did local catering, delivered to the site)

The kids had the BEST time, running around and playing in the structures and doing what they wanted to. We wanted a place with flexibility, which is what other play places don't offer (strict times for playing and eating).

Even my friends and family had a great time, they could let the kids run around without having to watch every move. We had the whole place to ourselves with staff at the front door to make sure everyone stayed inside. It was great.

I would recommend this to everyone, it is easy and by far the best place to host a kid's party in San Francisco.

My family and I attended a birthday party here for one-year-old and absolutely enjoyed ourselves! It's in a pretty busy part of town so parking is not easy.
I love how they close the location for parties. It really helps you feel safe and not on high alert. The play area is gated in so it makes it fairly difficult for a little one to slip out. A huge win for any parent in my opinion.
They have two slides, two ball pits and an eating area with a good enough space for decorations, food, cake, drinks, etc. The party lasted two hours total. I'm not too sure if you could stay longer than that...
I also saw that they offer drop offs starting at $25 an hour for one child.

To be honest we had no idea that this place existed in San Francisco but we will definitely consider it for future celebrations of our own!

I recently visited the Imagination Playhouse with my 2 year old and it was a great experience. The indoor playground has a ball pity, multiple slides, and several age appropriate toys. It's a great place to host a birthday party overall this is a great place for familiesiy.

My son had an 8th birthday party! He and his friends had an amazing time! Hosts Susie and Evelyn took care of setup and service throughout the event so it was stress free. They also gave me many ideas on party planning and what to serve. Thank you so much!

We booked at Imagination Playhouse for our preschool annual holiday party in December. Owner and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Super accommodating and very welcoming! All of our kids had a blast and parents were able to mingle. I would recommend booking birthday parties or preschool events.

We hosted our daughter's birthday party at this venue, and Susy along with her sister were incredibly helpful throughout the entire event. They assisted us in setting up decorations, unloading food trays, and efficiently cleaning up afterward. Their attentiveness extended to the children as well - when one child missed her mom, who briefly stepped out, Susy and her sister stayed by her side, providing comfort and company. They even attempted to reach the mom to update her on the situation.

While the parking situation might pose a slight challenge, it's manageable.

The party space offered a variety of activities, including a ball pit, a pretend play area, and slides, ensuring that my daughter and her friends had a blast. It's an ideal venue for children aged 3 to 8, providing a perfect outlet for their energy. Overall, a great experience!

My boys had the absolute best birthday party at Imagination Playhouse. Suzy was so kind and helpful from the start! The decorations were paw patrol themed and so cute! The kids loved the space and played nearly the entire 2.5 hours we booked the private party for. We booked a morning slot to give ourselves and our guests the best chances for street parking which was helpful. Cleanup was a breeze and we did not at all feel any time pressure from Suzy at all. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

What a gem in SF! Went here for a kiddos bday party and I kid you not, ALL the kids were living their best life! The bday boy turned 7 and I have a 4,2, and 1 year old and there was something for all the kids to enjoy. I absolutely loved the little tunnels and ball puts, kids were all having THE best time. The space is really special and unique. It's an intimate setting and they made the best use of space with the play structures built upwards towards the ceiling which made the play space really dynamic/ I also love that they were able to rent it out for their private party, invite only. You can bring your own food so you can really make it your own event. Parents could chill out and hang while the kids were confined and safe. Highly recommend this place and I would love to rent it out for my kids in the future.
