Safari Nation is a Family Entertainment Center, also known as a Children’s Fitness Center. In 2012 in Greensboro, NC, Safari Nation was founded by a husband and wife who believed that parents needed a good place to take their children to play. The business soon became widely popular because of the clean, safe, and secure environment offered. It gives kids a chance to burn some energy, regardless of weather conditions outside, while parents can relax as their kids have some fun. All parents know of the importance of physical activity in childhood, and Safari Nation’s play areas encourage physical activity in a way that is fun.
