Safari Champ

$ 3.25 on Wednesdays. $ 5 Mondays. Children free under 1. Free kids yoga wed at 11; balloon if you participate
$ 3 otherwise 1 – 2 or $ 7.50 2+
Great deal for my 20 month old or on Wednesdays. An indoor play area with separate toddler area (which is just really a double slide and small basketball net)
I thought it’d be bigger but it’s a good size. Adult size Basketball nets, which is odd.
Could have more balls around as kids fight over them
My kid had a blast and didn’t want to leave
They have bagels, coffee, smoothies, kids meals (hot dog, Mac n cheese, chicken nuggets) for under $ 5. Salads, pizzas and sandwiches too.
They also have drop in day care available and parents night out.

Lame. This place looked great online — but when we showed up we wish we could have asked for our money back. The person at the counter had the personality of a dead cold fish. She just stared at us and our two children. Finally I had to ask «Is this where we pay for admission?» I was very confused… she’s sitting behind a snack counter. There was no clear indication of where to go or what to do.
We unfortunately pay for the toddler area which in reality is a slide. One slide. That’s it. Don’t waste your time on this place. A park is free and much nicer.

It’s a decent sized indoor playground. Highly recommend it for winter. The food is costly and not so tasty. Free WiFi is available. Yoga for kids is available.

Could be a nice area. The play area is nasty (needs to be monitored) the sitting area is filthy (no one maintaining it). Grown adults do not clean up after themselves. There is not outside food or drinks allowed (sign inside not posted where you can see it outside) because of health concerns an honestly that should be the least of your concerns. I think a health inspector/​preventive medicine should take a look at this place an have this place get in order. The staff doesn’t enforce the basic rules. Honestly saw an employee looking at the play area? Just in a daze I guess

We have driven past Safari Champ for a while now (we moved down the street last year) so we finally decided to give it a try. Yes, it isn’t as big as other place but we knew that coming in. It was perfect for my 10 and 2 year old and it was $ 11 for both to jump/​play all day? I’m not certain about the all day thing but I didn’t see anyone checking time or whatever so maybe it was a special? Who knows. Anyway, we really liked it and it served its purpose of entertaining my rambunctious crazies on a summer day!:)

I had planned on doing my son’s 2^nd birthday at the park, but because it was raining like crazy, we decided to play it safe and have it indoors. Though the package of 25 kids was pretty expensive at $ 330, the kids absolutely loved it! We had a great turn out of around 50 or more people! I will say, Saturdays tend to be super busy and crowded, which I was stressing about all week, but by some kind of miracle, there was only 2 or 3 families there before we got there, so we ended up being the crowd maker.
We really appreciated how helpful the staff was. We kept running out of plates, cups and ice and they were really good about continuously helping us and always did it with a smile. We chose the 3 – 5 slot, but since there were no other parties scheduled, the manager said we could keep the room for as long as we wanted. She was super sweet and understanding and could see how much fun everyone was having.
I gave it 4 stars only, because there’s not much for the parents to do and the price was still pretty expensive. Other than that, great place for kids!

I was introduced to this fabulous land of dreams can come true. (For parents and kids) years ago when we were invited to a birthday party there. My kids get excited all over again when we choose to spend the day there. After our initial introduction, my youngest son wanted to spend his birthday there too. (So we did) The employees are super. The seats comfortable, restrooms are kid and parent friendly. The food ain’t bad either. My daughter has spent a week going for day art camp. Oldest learned how to play chess and was able to teach dear old mom. I have shared the tale of the joys we have experienced so others might enjoy it too. Please check it out for yourself!

Gave it 3 stars because it is a comfortable temp inside. Otherwise, its expensive! $ 22 for my 2 boys, $ 8 for a coffee, Capri sun and a Gatorade then $ 18 for lunch (a crappy salad that had burned chicken on it and 2 hotdogs) and it took 35 minutes to get it. Will not be paying full price again. It’s really not even that big. Has some decent chairs for grown ups though.

Went there for the 1^st time today and spent 4 hours there with a 4 year old completely entertained the whole time. I got a lot of work done while she played on the playground, colored, read books and even took a dance class! It was definitely worth the drive from where we live in Austin.
The staff was great in their attentiveness and kindness with everyone. Fellow kids and parents seemed to be fairly regular so there was a lot of friendly interaction.
I had a latte that was great and my daughter had some fun (read:unhealthy) snacks.
If there was room for improvement I would definitely love some fresh fruit or vegetables in appealing form for little kids.
Thanks Safari Champ!

This place is great for indoors entertainment in the Austin area. A bit pricey, but really good for ages 1 – 6.

So great to have a place to take the kids to play where I can get a good cup of coffee. Pizza here is really good. The staff is very helpful and good with the kids. This has been a favorite place to go since they opened. Sara is great, and is there every day to make sure everything is up a higher standard. PLUS, they have AMY’S ice cream! ya can’t go wrong there.

Great place to sit and drink a cup of coffee with friends while the kids play. Not so big that you can’t find them quickly but big enough to have a good time. The food on the other hand is almost as good as 7 – 11. Pricey for what you get portion wise. Oh and .30 drink refills, even for the kids size. The quality of the food is blah at best.

I have always loved this place. Any time I’ve needed to do work from my computer, I can take my kids and they can play their little hearts out while I get my work done. It’s a smaller environment so I don’t have to worry about them running off and not knowing where they went.
People who mention that there isn’t much supervision need to step back and take this place for what it is. It is a place where kids can play, it’s not at school. If people want to school or a daycare, they can take them there.
The staff has always been friendly, and very welcoming to my kids. They know them by their first name, and I feel like we are never strangers. I appreciate that, especially in a small town like round rock.

Great place during those cold rainy days to let the kiddo work out some energy before his nap. We’ve only been during the week, during a school day, so my rating reflects that time period. I would say I don’t think I’d come here during a peak time — it’s hard to keep track of your little one when it gets crowded and you see a dozen kids trying to go through the same section and it’s more likely that atleast one of those kids isn’t being watched by their parent — like one time when my son was shoved down for no reason and his mom apologized to me 20 minutes later after only finding out what her kid did from other parents talking about it.
All the other times we’ve gone have been great (again only during non peak times). It really just depends on the other customers that are there which I can’t blame the actual business for. I don’t really expect the staff to watch my kids like some expect. To do that correctly they’d have to have atleast 3 or 4 more workers in the actual maze watching everything so parents could just have their alone time with their phones or whatnot and not have to watch their child. I’d rather not pay higher prices for increased staff.
Minus one star is for the kind of boring toddler area which is why my 2 yo is always in the lower part of the main play area. Also for the basketball area with the rims way too high. I have yet to see a kid even hit the rim with the light balls they have laying around. They probably don’t want people dunking on them but even the average sized adult couldn’t at the height right now. It would be nice if their food menu was printed out. It’s only written out chalkboard style at the front so I only get a good look when we first come in and I have an excited, squirmy toddler while I’m also trying to pay. So I’ve never tried the food but might be more likely to if I could look over the selections from the tables.

It’s a bit small than what I was expecting. The sitting/​table area is bigger than the actual play area. However, they do have a large selection of food and snacks. They have daily food specials and prices are reasonable. Also have free wifi so that’s a plus for me. They also offer «drop in day care» which seems weird. The kids wear yellow safety vests so they can be distinguished from the other kids that are not part of the «day care». I was here for almost 2 hours and never saw the attendant giving any of those kids any type of special attention. Didn’t even offer them water.
My kids had a great (not terrific) time but they were not totally exhausted when we left (sigh).

Took my kids here one evening after work (probably a mistake, it was crowded) and one Saturday.. My perception of this place may have been a damaged due to my arrival time. This place isn’t exactly «A-​OK»… its just. OK, I guess and I’ve definitely seen better. There wasn’t hardly any staff monitoring the play area, which, quite honestly, is bothersome… why? Well, because the responsible parents have to get on to the children with the «irresponsible» parents…
I’m sorry. More and more these days parents are doing nothing more than interacting with their damn phones/ipads…whatever. instead of their children. As a parent, I am 95% on top of my kids almost always. Yes, I stop to take some pics and videos. and I might even look up a place while they are playing, but Im still keeping my eye on them and making sure they follow «our own rules» as well as the Establishment which we are currently in. Yes, I may have missed something, excuse me, but for the most part. when we go places, I’m the only parent telling my kids to respect others and the places property. Why is that? So sad…
If the parents monitored their children, might not be so bad. But they don’t…and given the fact they don’t leads me to… staff. The establishment should enforce safety, regardless. But they didn’t. Not the two times we were here.
There isn’t much in the way of the toddler area, it was very minimal. A slide that was about… maybe 24 inches off the ground and sloped down about 36 – 48 inches. nothing really. And guess what. there were big kids in there. There were big kids RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE knocking little ones down, saw one kid get shoved into the pole due to a «chasing» game taking place??? Really? Not the parents or the staff felt the need to put a stop to that, not at all. In fear of my own kids getting hurt. I said something. Like always. And its annoying like always.
The playscape area was nice enough for being what it is. Lots of different things to do and different areas to roam. Plenty of seating (which can sometimes be a bad thing for those inattentive parents… but for others its nice. They do serve food there which is also nice if you or kids are hungry, but they also allow you to bring food in, which I truly appreciate, because carnival food is not always a «go».
All in all, if they would enforce the rules a little more, and control the kids, or make the parents do so… Id be willing to go to 4 – 5 stars. its a great place for kids to go to let off some steam, especially on bad weather days… but the control… is lacking.

This place is really cool for the kids! They have a café where you can purchase food, drinks, and coffee. My finace has brought the kids here a few times already. Our kids always enjoyed. The staff seemed very friendly to me and were very into working there. They keep the restrooms pretty clean for a kid place. I will say though it is a kid place so you will the usual pee on the toilet set from a male side of the restroom. My son had a number accident and I had to throw his dirty clothes in the trash. I will say that the staff was kind enough to acknowledge that I threw it in the trash without a frown or gross emotion on her face. She smiled and said I will take care of it and thank you for letting us know. On Wednesdays it $ 3 per kid all day! You have to come check out this facility if you are in the area or want a break from the kids and need them burn some energy off.

We just found out about Safari Champ and my kiddo and I really enjoy it! We are new to town and are still learning the ropes. Some of our friends told us about Safari Champ, so we headed over for a play date. Yay for wearing your kids out while you can sit and watch them! Here are the highlights:
1. This is a pretty large play area with a lot of things to play on. There are climbing things, slides, even a small b-​ball court. It’s enough to keep your kid entertained for a couple of hours at least.
2. Lots of seating. There are a lot of tables for snack time, nice chairs up front for when special events are going on, and chairs back by the play scape. Momma gets tired and needs a place to sit, so this is nice.
3. Lots of special events. After our first trip there, I signed up for the email list. I have been notified of all sorts of events like arts & crafts, petting zoos, singalongs, and even chess classes! It’s fun to do something a little different with your kiddo, even if it means being way too close to snakes (reptile show was today… ewwww).
4. Great prices. They have different discount days like $ 5 Mondays and $ 3 Wednesdays. We did the petting zoo and entrance to play for $ 10. I believe the regular entrance fee is $ 8, which is still pretty good in my book. I also saw a sign for a deal to purchase 10 passes for $ 50. Not too bad for a fun day out.
5. They have a café with food! This is nice when your kiddo is playing and you are starving. I never want to mess the kid up when she is being good and having fun, so it’s nice to grab a bite to eat right there. They also have ice cream and fancy coffees. The prices are a little high, but really not too bad.
The reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5, would be just a couple items.
1. It would be nicer if more of the really hard and uncomfortable chairs were replaced with sofas or something more comfortable.
2. The area where the petting zoo takes place should be a more private area. It’s right next to the play area, which makes it very loud. It was hard to hear the reptile guy with all of the kids screaming just outside. I haven’t been to any other special events to date, so I’m not sure if it’s always like that or not.
Overall, this place is super fun and a good deal!

Great place to take the kids to burn some energy and socialize with other children! Large play area with multiple slides; I was even a fan of the tasty but overpriced coffee I bought.
However, the staff is pretty cruddy. They aren’t very friendly and seem a little sour. Too bad because this place would be gold if the staff didn’t stink.

My kid loved this place. Went based on other reviews although I was concerned about the issue stated about cleanliness. Not much of a toddler area; only a slide. Bummer. However, once Kiddo got bored with that… Off to the high dive! Lots of tunnels and slides and a basketball area. I would not recommend coming here alone with an active toddler if you have an infant. It would be very difficult to carry a baby through the playscape if you had to get to another child.
The place wasn’t kept up very well in terms of niceness but can’t ask for much at kid play places. Really need to lower my expectations. Things will get played on and destroyed. It’s just bound to happen.
We will be back right at opening. The place was dead until 10:30. Perfect time to go.
