"the word-of-mouth survival guide for SAN FRANCISCO parents"
Review added 9/2/2008
Its a fun place for kids to run around - they have a great water play area and arts and crafts area. My son learned to paint here! Every time we've gone I've found that a lot of the parents and other caregivers don't watch their kids and let them run around like crazy - esp. difficult when big kids go into the early walker area and rough house! I have NEVER seen a staffer in the play area cleaning up, setting up, or policing.

Yes it's germ-filled but there's a lot for a toddler to love, such as the water play and the big spaceship console.
By the way, I contacted them to ask about the hygiene and a manager told me it was completely disinfected every night.

Wish it was really open on Sundays (is that too much to ask?). It has a little something for infants, toddlers and older kids, but maybe a little too much little of everything instead of more of one thing. Why do they charge the adults entrance fees?

Habitot is a great place to let your kid explore for an hour or two, especially on a rainy day. Rainy days do get crowded, but if you kid likes other kids, it's even more fun. If you are a member, it is quite cheap (only $110 per year) and if you go frequently it is quite a deal. Has art, water play, pretend cafe, and currently a rocket ship where they get to push lots of buttons. They develop different favorites over time.

This place is the best! I bring my son there at least twice a week. He loves the interaction with other kids and the fun stuff to play with. Highly recommended.
