About
The Bounce Place at Tanforan in San Bruno is a full-scale indoor inflatable park conveniently located inside the Tanforan Shopping Center. Multiple themed bounce houses, towering slides, and obstacle courses fill the large facility, creating a playground environment where kids 2-12 can run, jump, and climb for hours.
The Tanforan location is particularly convenient for South SF and Peninsula families: free mall parking, multiple food options adjacent to the facility, and easy highway access from US-101 and I-280. For parents dealing with an energy-surplus child on a rainy Bay Area morning, this is a reliable, proven solution.
Toddlers have access to smaller, age-appropriate inflatables, while bigger kids have room to tackle the main obstacle courses and slides. The Bounce Place is also a popular birthday party venue — party rooms and packages are available, but slots book up weeks in advance for weekends.
Grip socks are required; buy them cheaply online before you go to avoid the upcharge at the front desk.
