Imagination Playhouse

Imagination Playhouse on Geary Blvd is a neighborhood indoor play space with the kind of warm, community feel that distinguishes it from more corporate play facilities. Located in the Central Richmond neighborhood — one of San Francisco's most family-dense residential areas — it operates as both a drop-in play space and a birthday party venue for the local under-6 crowd.

The space is scaled appropriately for its intended audience: babies through kindergarteners. Soft play structures, climbing elements, and open floor space give young children room to move and explore without the chaos of a larger, more crowded facility. The party venue function of the business means the space is periodically decorated and refreshed in ways that keep the environment feeling lively.

A few logistics notes that matter for planning: the playhouse is closed on Sundays, and Saturday hours are extended until 7PM — both unusual for the SF indoor playground scene. Weekday hours run 9:30AM-6PM Monday through Friday.

The Geary Blvd location in the Richmond puts it in excellent dim sum and Chinese bakery territory. Many Richmond District families have a standing routine of weekend breakfast at a local dim sum spot before heading to the playhouse — it's a genuinely lovely neighborhood morning.

For families already visiting Peek-a-Boo Factory SF (located just 2 blocks away on the same block of Geary), Imagination Playhouse offers a comparison option in the same visit to the neighborhood.
