About

familyIn New England there are very few warm, safe, clean, educational and fun places to bring young children to on a typical fall, winter, or spring day. VinKari Safari is an innovative children’s indoor playground that was designed to meet the needs of the community and to exceed the expectations of both children and their parents.

As parents, we were not only frustrated by venues that were not open year round for dropping in to play, but also by the play places that were too small for our children to exert a healthy amount of energy.  The many play spaces that we tried allowed teenagers to mingle with our toddlers, weren’t clean, or lost our children’s attention too quickly.

When it came to hosting birthday parties or other celebrations, New England weather simply could not be relied on and having dozens of children and parents at our home felt hectic.  We hardly enjoyed the event worrying about the needs of all of our guests.  By the end of our special day we didn’t have many pictures, we missed many of the laughs and opportunities to connect with friends and family we had not seen recently, and we were left with the daunting duty of cleaning up.

VinKari Safari is family owned and operated.  We are grateful parents, first and foremost, with backgrounds in childcare, psychology, and corporate catering events.  We are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and we are grandmothers and grandfathers as well. We have an ethnically diverse cultural heritage with a profound understanding of special needs too.  Most importantly, we are your hosts and we, along with our children, Vincent and Karina, invite you to come play and have a wicked wild fun time at our safari themed children’s indoor playground.
