Oogubi creates sensory-driven experiences designed to help families slow down, connect, and reset together. Our environments are thoughtfully designed, and intentionally calm—inviting children to explore while giving parents space to breathe.

We are not a venue, a class, or a drop-in play space. Oogubi experiences are hosted productions that appear in different locations and formats throughout the year.

Oogubi is designed for parents and children together, through co-regulation. We design environments that support calm, presence, and ease for adults while giving children the freedom to engage in sensory play at their own pace. When both are supported simultaneously, regulation becomes shared rather than forced—and the experience feels better for everyone.

Oogubi is designed so parents don’t feel like they’re “working” the entire time.

You’re welcome to join your child in the experience, step back and observe, or simply enjoy being in the space. Our team manages the environment, the flow, and the setup so you’re not constantly problem-solving or redirecting.

Many parents describe Oogubi as a reset—not just for their children, but for themselves. It’s a space where connection happens naturally, without pressure or performance.

Oogubi is designed for families with children of all ages, with the biggest relief for parents during the toddler and preschool years—when keeping kids engaged without constant intervention is hardest. Because the experience is open-ended, it’s common to see a twelve-year-old and a two-year-old engaged at the same station, allowing parents to relax instead of managing multiple activities.

What’s unique about Oogubi is it’s perfect for ages 1-6. There’s typically nothing that captures the attention of kids 3 and younger, but at Oogubi, kids are engaged in self-led play while parents can just breathe.

Each Oogubi production features a series of thoughtfully designed sensory zones. Children explore freely at their own pace while our trained staff manage flow, safety, and the environment.

Parents are encouraged to:

• Participate alongside their child

• Step back and observe

• Socialize and enjoy the space

There’s no rushing, no strict schedule, and no “right way” to engage.

Oogubi isn’t a fixed space or a static setup. It’s a living experience that evolves through real families, real children, and real moments.

Because we are a mobile production, every event teaches us something. We refine what works, adjust what doesn’t, and continuously design with both children and parents in mind. The result is an experience that feels deeply intentional rather than formulaic.

This balance of consistency and innovation—designed around how families actually move, feel, and connect—is what makes Oogubi difficult to replicate. It’s not just what you see; it’s how it feels while you’re there.

Oogubi sits in a category of its own.

We’re not a venue you drop into, and we’re not a class with an agenda. We don’t rely on hype, characters, or constant entertainment to hold attention. Instead, we design experiences that trust children to engage meaningfully and trust parents to relax into the moment.

That difference is felt immediately. Oogubi isn’t about filling time—it’s about creating an experience where families leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Oogubi was created to fill a gap families felt but couldn’t name: experiences that are engaging for children and restorative for adults.

We’re building something new—experiences that feel intentional, beautiful, and human in a world that often feels rushed and overstimulating.

Oogubi is designed from the parent’s nervous system outward.

Rather than relying on constant stimulation, performances, or loud entertainment, we focus on thoughtful environments that allow children to regulate themselves. The layouts are intentionally spacious, the materials are open-ended, and the flow of the experience is carefully managed by our team so families aren’t competing for attention or space.

When children aren’t being overstimulated or rushed, they naturally become calmer. And when children are calmer, parents feel it immediately. Many families tell us Oogubi is the rare event where they don’t feel “on edge,” counting the minutes, or anticipating a meltdown. It feels grounding, not draining.

Sensory play is how children make sense of the world. Through hands-on exploration of texture, movement, sound, and space, children build focus, creativity, and emotional regulation. Educational philosophies like Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and nature-based learning recognize sensory, self-directed play as foundational because it supports brain development before abstract learning ever takes hold.

At Oogubi, sensory play is intentionally child-led within an environment designed for parental calm. Children engage deeply because the space supports them, not because they’re being directed— parents feel confident knowing the experience is developmentally meaningful.

From your 6-month-old discovering their first texture to your 8-year-old exploring their own creativity, every station invites discovery. Watch as children find natural focus through play, while social connections form and creativity flows. This is why siblings of all ages thrive here together.

At Oogubi, “self-led” or “child-led” means your child is free to engage with the experience in a way that feels natural to them. There are no instructions to follow, no set order, and no expectation to participate in everything. Children move at their own pace, following curiosity rather than being directed or rushed.

For parents, this changes the entire dynamic. You’re not managing transitions, pulling your child to the next activity, or worrying that they’re “missing something.” Instead, you get to observe, participate when it feels right, and trust that the environment has been designed to support your child’s natural instincts. Many parents notice their child settling in more quickly and staying focused longer than they do at more structured or high-energy events.

We host experiences throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, appearing at partner venues, outdoor spaces, and private locations. Because we are a production—not a permanent location—each event has its own listed venue.

Event locations are always shared on the event page or during booking.

Yes! We travel for corporate events and private clients. Travel and lodging fees apply.

We get this question a lot. What you’re getting is a vibe based on the curated environment we’ve developed over years of observations. We set up a wide array of activities that keep the children engaged for hours. All guided by the question: What makes the calmest environment possible?

No—and that’s part of what keeps families coming back.

Oogubi experiences are built on familiar foundations so returning children quickly understand how to engage with the space. That sense of familiarity helps children feel confident and safe. Within that structure, however, we are constantly evolving.

We test new stations, materials, layouts, and ways of inviting interaction, all while preserving the core rhythm that families recognize. For parents, this means each visit feels fresh without feeling unpredictable. Your child knows what to do, but still discovers something new. It’s familiar without being repetitive.

• Absolutely! The foam solution we use is of the highest quality in the industry. It is hypoallergenic and does not sting in the eyes.

• Your little one will probably turn the color of the foam we use for the day. Don’t worry, it comes off with warm water and soap from skin and clothing.

Street parking and paid lots vary with each venue we work with. Tips:

Street parking: Read the meters! They differ by block, and some are free on Sunday's up to a certain time, yet may prompt a "pay in advance" message. You may be leaving before the meter starts.

Public paid lots: Oogubi is not affiliated in any way.

Yes! Food and drinks are available for purchase and many offer Oogubi discounts. Availability varies based on each venue. Make sure to mention Oogubi and show your wristband. Discounts are only available in person and not from a digital kiosk.

Seating is available to guests that purchase our Hunte Lounge spaces only. BUT, you are more than welcome to use the seating anywhere around the venue (that is not already reserved) to eat – everyone has in-and-out privileges with their wristbands.

We always suggest waterproof outerwear to keep the kids comfortable and dry. The foam party and water play will get the kids very wet.

Towels and change of clothes for the kids!
