WOW Kids Playground is one of the more elaborate indoor play venues in San Francisco, with themed areas that include Jungle Adventure, a warrior-course element, pirate and space play, a toddler-focused Li'l WOW zone, role-play areas, arcade games, and cafe service. It feels more like a mini indoor theme park than a simple neighborhood playground, and it is especially useful for birthdays, rainy-day family outings, and mixed-age sibling visits.
