The 49 best things to do with kids in Nairobi

Great experience and fun day. I saw most of the animals although when it was announced that there was a lion in the area, everyone would rush to get there and they'd get close to the lion to get photo opportunities and they drove in the path in which the lion was walking and I didn't like that. There's supposed to be a 10 meter distance from you and the animals which was not followed by many of the drivers. Overall a great experience.

I visited the Nairobi National Park twice on two separate days and both visits were amazing. A large variety of animals can be seen in this park except for the elephant. Come here in the morning when it's cool. In the afternoon the animals will find shade to avoid sun exposure, which means you will likely not see them.

A pretty magical and unexpected place to be honest. The proximity to Nairobi means it is really accessible and there are a great range of animals to see, which is all the more fascinating because of it closeness to Nairobi. I had a great time and thought it was amazing. I went for the full day having lunch at a Maasai lodge and after the main gate the jeeps thinned out which gave a better sense of just being there with the animals. Highly recommend going to see the animals. We saw lions, hippo, giraffes, rhinos, zebra, ostrich, crocodiles, antelope, gazelles, baboons and loads of different birds. Enjoy.

Oh My Gosh ! I entered the park with the expert help of the Manager of Ras Travel Noha along with my paid Safari Driver. At first , I was like okay I want to see a lion/lioness and was informed that it doesn’t work like that by my Safari Driver . He then said we will drive through Nairobi National Park and he will be on the lookout for lions ….. ooooh ,but there are no guarantees . Well, we started along , with the guide driving fairly slowly thru the park . Along the drive , we saw Zebra, giraffes , hippos , and all manner of wild birds and animals …but no lions . As the sun just started to set over the horizon and we were near the end of my day safari through Nairobi National Park , and I was just starting to feel just a little bit disappointed that I would not see a lion , a young male lion came slowly walking along the dirt road with another safari truck on its tail taking pictures . I smiled with joy and took what video I could from the distance we were at and thought that would be my lion experience . Then ,a little distance more ? I saw a grown female lioness just lounging in some grass , and a little distance more a male lion standing broad and tall surveying the area . YEAH !!!! I saw a lioness, a young lion and a Lion , roar . 🦁🙂

What a rich wild life. Big park, with plenty of animals to see. Beautiful rhinos to giraffes, zebras and crocodiles. Also surreal picture to see the city of Nairobi in the background of it.

This was one of the most memorable and wonderful experiences I’ve had. Although I didn’t see all the big five, I saw a lion, but he didn’t look happy at all and had something around his neck. I thought this was their natural habitat. The drive was tough as expected, and I had a great time. Regarding costs, follow me on TikTok for the breakdown.

This national park is a hidden pearl. It is adjacent to the Nairobi international airport but it has so many beautiful animals. Its south side is open to other reserves which allows the animals to move around. We saw lion, dozens of giraffes, hundreds of zebras, over 15 white rhinos with a baby rhino, hyenas, ostrich, all kinds of antelope, etc in a short 3 hours. Very good place to visit if you only have a short time in Nairobi

The Giraffe Center is such an interesting and fun place to visit! The area is big, clean, and well maintained, and the toilets are also very clean. You can feed the giraffes up close, which is an amazing experience. The staff are nice and helpful, and I didn’t have to wait long in line. A great spot for both adults and kids — highly recommended! The things selling in their shops are a but expensive and they only accept card !

TWIGA 🦒🦒 In the heart of Karen, where the trees sway slow, Tall necks greet you with a gentle bow 🦒. Tongues blue and bold, They stretch for pellets, stories unfold 🥕. Nature whispers in the forest trail 🌳, Warthogs shuffle, birds unveil 🐗q. Kids giggle, lovers pose 📸, Under acacia shade, the wildness flows . Just wooden floors and rails 🌿, Where conservation dreams set sail ⛵🌍. From city chaos to leafy calm 🚐🌳, Giraffe Centre heals like herbal balm 🍯🧘.

We visited the Giraffe Centre and had such a lovely experience! It was about a 45-minute drive from Nairobi, and even though it was a bit crowded, everything was well organized getting tickets was quick and smooth. We got to feed the giraffes, take some great photos, and the staff made sure everything was clean and hygienic with handwashing before and after. A really fun and unique experience, perfect for a quick visit from the city! 🦒✨

The Giraffe Centre was such an exciting and memorable place to visit! Getting to see the giraffes up close and even feed them was an incredible experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the area was clean and well maintained. I highly recommend anyone visiting Nairobi to check out this place — it’s fun, educational, and perfect for all ages.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi. Feeding the giraffes was an absolute highlight – they provide the feed for free to everyone, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. There were plenty of giraffes around, and it was such a unique feeling to be up close with them. We also enjoyed the informative session where they explained more about giraffes and warthogs, which added a nice educational touch to the visit. One important thing to note is that they do not accept cash, so be sure to carry a card or use mobile payment options. Overall, it was a memorable and fun experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Nairobi!

The highlight here is to feed giraffes directly. You are given some dry food in a small dish upon entry and you will stand on a platform and the giraffes will come to you and eat those food from your hand. Interesting experience and certainly worth a visit. Half hour should give you enough time to visit.

A beautiful and educational experience in Nairobi! The Giraffe Centre is one of those places that truly connects you with nature. It’s amazing to see the elegant Rothschild giraffes up close — and even feed them by hand! 🦒 The experience is both fun and educational, with friendly staff who share great insights about giraffe conservation and local wildlife efforts. The area is calm, green, and well-maintained — perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for something unique and relaxing to do in Nairobi. There’s also an informative gallery and a small nature trail nearby if you want to extend your visit. 💰 Entry Fees (as of 2025): Non-resident adult: KES 1,500 Non-resident child: KES 750 Resident adult: KES 400 Resident child: KES 200 Children under 3: Free Tip: Visit early in the morning when it’s quiet and the giraffes are most active. You’ll get the best photos and a truly peaceful experience!

Great place to get away from the diesel fumes of the city. Quite heavily shaded by a canopy of trees, making it a nice place to cool down too. We spotted deer(?) and monkeys.

Excellent location for a walk, hike and bike ride. Cool ambience along the nature trails with a chance of encountering fauna. Very refreshing from Nairobi bustle Facilities for tennis available.

I really enjoyed taking walks on karura forest and enjoying the nature. It helps detoxify the mind.

Really great place to spend a few hours. Did the bike rental and trail ride which was really fun. Nice waterfall on the route. Trees create a beautiful canopy which keeps things cool. Some of the trail is a little tough to bike.

Cool, beautiful relaxing environment. Amazing nature trails

Is a nice place to hung out ,trail walks and cool atmosphere

Beautiful forest, so calm and peaceful. We rented bikes when we went first time but second time chose to walk instead. Both were lovely. There are two paths apparently. One is 5km and the other one is 10km. Marked up as yellow and blue. We saw a lot of people walking also with their kids and friendly dogs.

Atop Museum Hill 🏛️, Kenya’s soul unfolds 🌍 Fossils 🦴 whisper ancient tales, Ahmed the elephant 🐘 guards nature’s grace. Art🎨 of tribes and beads 🧵 shimmer with culture’s pride. Birds 🐦 sing of wild skies, rocks ⛰️ echo Earth’s deep time. Each gallery 🖼️ a heartbeat ❤️, Each step 🚶 a journey through history’s vibrant rhythm. 🇰🇪

I have never felt so compelled to write a review whilst still on holiday. We spent an absolutely fascinating few hours with our wonderful tour guide Hannah. She was so incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She took us on an absolute journey around the museum. So much thought and love has gone into this place. The history was captivating -we were utterly absorbed and at times moved. This is a place you cannot miss if you are visiting Nairobi!

Nice variety of things to see. It’s probably not the most modern of museums but certainly worth a visit. The lighting is not that great in many places, so make sure to take your best glasses if you want to see everything. Buying a ticket is also a bit of a mission, but probably understandable in the drive to do everything through “e-citizen”. On the other hand, the card machine in the shop was not working, so I was not able to purchase a souvenir.

National Museum of Kenya Nairobi is an interesting place to visit if one is in Nairobi. It tells the developmental and political history of the country, and gives an insight into the present population distribution. It is also a place to learn a lot about the zoogeography of the country as models of the various animal species are preserved at the museum. There's also a small zoo within the compound where a few life animals are showcased. The gate fee is about 1500 Kenyan shillings into the museum for foreigners. I'm not going to upload models as I'm not sure if this is allowed

Solid museum. 1250 KES so basically $10 USD (Oct 2025). You need 2 hours to see the whole museum and maybe 3-4 hrs if you want to read thru. I enjoyed it, not amazing but still interesting to learn about animals and the history of Kenya. Independence granted by 1963. The are a bunch of birds that fills a 3 classroom size room with taxidermy birds. Pretty deep collection. There’s a snake zoo nearby inside and a small botanical garden. Random: no water bottles allowed so you’ll just place it on the front counter and pickup when you leave.

Great museum to visit if you find yourself in Niarobi looking for a daytime activity. Lots of nicely presented displays on the history of Kenya, animals, birds, tribal history etc. also a snake exhibit. Enjoy!

We recommend you take about 3 hours out of your day to fully see this place. It was a really wonderful experience and we learned so much. The reptile house is great for kids. They make you leave your water bottles outside but you get them back in the end. Highly recommend!!

This beautiful area boasts a charming old side that contrasts with the modern side, yet they coexist harmoniously. It’s a family-friendly destination with ample open spaces for children to play, a bowling alley, and numerous restaurants. Your visit to the Village Market will undoubtedly be a positive experience.

Nice concept with the plants and colourful decoration. This is a medium to big mall with many shops. Banks, 3 telecom companies, clothing stores, African craft stores and more. There are also many places to choose amongst to eat. There is also a bowling alley but no cinema.

Village Market Nairobi is one of the best lifestyle destinations in the city. The mall has a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options — from international brands to unique local stores. The food court and dining areas are excellent, with something for every taste, and the environment feels safe, clean, and family-friendly. I especially like the open, airy layout which makes it stand out compared to other malls. Parking is convenient and well organized, and staff are always helpful. Whether for shopping, dining, or just relaxing, Village Market never disappoints.

Get immersed into the amazing world of gaming, culinary delights, and art shows. There's bowling, miniature golf, trampoline, and virtual gaming. I had a blast 🎉😎

Please, please, please consider removing that useless height bar that is located right in the middle of the open air parking lot. The bar should only regarde cars going to the upper parking lot! Because of that bar I must do a huge detour whenever I'm coming from Gigiri to Rosslyn or the other way around. I go to Village Market at least 3 times a week and I have a car 2,30mts high. It's so frustrating! I beg you to please consider removing it! Photos are attached to my review.

A nice place with various restaurants and shops, though price higher but the atmosphere is quite good

This place is great. Everything in one place. With class and comfort

Great spot for having fun with young ones.....plus you can join them too! Easily accessible and friendly staff.

Been here before was enjoyable (slightly pricey) but when I turned up today it was demolished

Very welcoming staff. They close a 6pm but I called them early and asked them to wait for us and they did. Smooth riding grounds that are fun to manoeuvre. Has a bar and food if you get there hungry. Fare prices too. It was a thrill.

Easily accessible off langata road. The sign-in service is good. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. We waited about an hour for the 10minute ride. The staff all around are helpful. The charges are ksh 900-1300 depending on age. The seating areas, toilets and cafe/restaurant can be improved considering the long wait periods and the number of people and kids. We didn’t get to try out the menu but wasn’t very inviting either. The bar has a range of soft drinks and beers. The kids enjoyed the go karting. They take kids from the age of 5 years and have an assistant who rides with the small ones or first-timers. Proved to be very helpful. Some kids had their personal helmets, kit and go kart. Didn’t get the details but seems to be an option.

I found the place to be just okay. The cars are okay but I feel they could be a bit more serviced or replaced. They are uncomfortable for adults. The racecourse isn't as big, though its standard I think. The score boards don't function anymore so you can't keep scores unless you keep going to the cashier's table, but the place gives the general thrill especially for races. Also its often not too crowded.

I like that the tracks are long, I enjoyed the ride itself, but the karts were old and the kits were dirty and worn out. They should invest in new karts and kits, and strive to maintain them better. The fees are high too compared to the services offered

It does live up to the adrenaline rush tag that it promises anyone who goes there. Who would have thought GP Karting would be such an exhilarating experience? Comes highly recommended for any thrill Seeker looking for something fun to do in Nairobi. Track may be a tad small or short, but the fun more than makes up for it. Plus there's good and drink available for when adrenaline burns all available calories.

We visited The Hub Park, and it was nothing short of amazing! There was so much to enjoy — from slides and trampolines to ziplines, cool climbing structures, and bouncy castles for the kids. It’s an ideal spot for children, but if you're looking for a quieter experience with fewer kids, consider visiting on a weekday. Pro tip: Don’t forget to carry a pair of socks — going in barefoot isn’t allowed. 100% recommended! Your inner child is guaranteed to come alive.

From the welcoming greenery at the entrance to the warm lighting inside, the atmosphere is pure comfort. The air feels alive here—bright lights, gentle music, and a touch of elegance. A beautiful balance of calm corners and lively energy.

The Hub Karen is one of the nicest malls in Nairobi. It has a great mix of shops, restaurants, and family-friendly activities. The environment is clean, secure, and relaxing with good outdoor spaces. Parking is plenty, though it can get busy on weekends, so weekdays are more peaceful. Prices lean on the higher side compared to other malls, but the overall experience, ambience, and dining options make it worth it. A perfect spot for shopping, dining, or just hanging out with family and friends.

The Hub Karen is such a beautiful and vibrant mall. There’s always plenty to see and do. From the wide variety of restaurants and cafes to the many snack stations offering unique, tasty treats, everything feels lively and well thought out. You’ll find fun activities, great shopping spots, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it perfect for families, friends, or even solo visits. Definitely one of my favorite hangout spots in Karen!

The Hub is easily one of my favorite malls in Nairobi. It has a fantastic open-air design that makes it feel less crowded and more relaxed than many other shopping centers. ​There's a great selection of shops. For groceries, there's a massive Carrefour that has almost everything. For fashion and sportswear, you can find international brands like LC Waikiki, Adidas, and Puma. There are also great stores for home goods, electronics at stores like Game, and variety shops like Miniso. You can pretty much find whatever you're looking for. ​The dining options are also excellent. There's a wide range, from popular cafes like Artcaffe and Java House to fast food and fine dining restaurants. Many of them have outdoor seating around the central courtyard, which is lovely. ​It's very family-friendly with a dedicated play area for kids, and the whole place always feels clean and secure. Parking is ample and well-organized. ​Definitely recommend it for shopping, a meal, or just a relaxing afternoon. It can get busy on weekends, but the spacious layout handles the crowd well.

Quite irresistibly nice. You can go wrong in visiting the place. It's addictive too.

The hub Karen is a beautiful place. I love that the mall is not as fully packed with people, the utilities are very clean, the food court offers a variety of cuisines including Spanish, Mexican and Indian. It's overall a great mall to spend an afternoon at.

The walkways are newly built. Very good renovations done. They need more animals. The entrance need some order. Kenyans need to remember to carry their IDs (they accept soft).

Really enjoyed the safari walk here. You get to see many of the animals up close and the raised walkway is a great way to experience the place. Parts of the park are looking a little tired and run down but overall still a great place to visit.

I had fun here at Nairobi Safari walk was amazing. The glance at different kind of animals, plants and birds was satisfying. From hippotatomus, to cheetahs, lions, giraffes, zebra, water bucks, baboons, black and white monkeys, python, rhino, ostriches, gazelles etc. The side forest was so tranquil and amazing.

My mother in law visited and decided that instead of staying indoors,why not do something,. We found ourselves here.We really enjoyed the walk and the kids were really happy to see the animals. The place is safe and child friendly. There are professional instant photographers and my daughter enjoyed her Masai attire photoshoot. It was therapeutic 🤩🤩🤩.

After you clear with gate services, you got to view the nature's amazing deeds. A high raised walking area making visitors to have a Great view of the caged animals ranging from herbivorous up to carnivores and even birds. A river view helps meditate on yourself for a moment before you walk into the thick forest full of birds each with their own melodious songs. Infield benches where you can sit to enjoy nature view Convenient for team building

The staff were very friendly. We arrived early in the morning and there weren't many people, which made it feel very private. My son loved it. We even saw a giraffe walking along the walkway. The place is full of trees and very peaceful.

Very nice and calm place with a variety of animals. If you are from CBD it's better to take a matatu, ones that go to Rongai and just say safari walk. A cab is also not as expensive not more than 500. The place has lions, leopards, cheetahs and other game. Total entrance cost is 215 for one person paid through E-citizen. Make sure to carry and ID if you are a citizen. A nice place to reconnect with nature and also see some new animals.

Easily accessible by the Uber. We visited the traditional homesteads while waiting for the show to start at 2.30pm. 8 performances in 1.5h, and it was really interesting to see all type of dances. They gonna ask few visitors to join them dancing too, so if you just love dancing feel free to dance with them.

It's a very nice place especially when you are working with your family .teaches more about Kenyan tribes, culture and their tradition. Most of the time there's more spicy in traditional dance. Acrobat and other activities.

My visit to the Bomas of Kenya was an unforgettable journey into Kenya's rich culture and traditions! 🇰🇪 The performances by the talented dancers and singers were both entertaining and captivating, showcasing the diverse heritage of the country's communities. 💃🏽🎶 Exploring the traditional bomas (homesteads) gave me a deeper appreciation for the unique architectural styles and way of life of different Kenyan tribes. 🏠✨ The whole experience was incredible, and I loved every moment of it. A perfect blend of culture, history, and entertainment! 🌍❤️

I was super sceptical about this because the dance show sounded so cringe. Anyway - we went to see the bomas park. You still need to pay Ksh 2,000 as a non-resident (it includes to dance as well), and can pay by card or cash (ecitizen not working). The bomas are open for walks from 10:00am to 5:00pm. You can see monkeys and warthogs. We went in the afternoon and it was super hot, but even with that we managed to spend a whole hour wandering around. I think the entry fee is too high for non-residents but at least the property is well looked after, so overall it was worth it. Definitely come for the bomas as well.

The biggest Tourist rip-off I faced in Kenya so far. The Original Place Where it should be is being constructed which is why they moved it to a parking lot. Set up a tent in which they show dances and sing. Once you Set a foot inside they force you to pay 2.000 Schilling. No explanation about culture and neither the chance to explore Kenyan tribes as stated online. Disappointing experience on all levels.

Such an original and amazing experience !! You easily immerse yourself into the rich diversity of Kenya's culture. All the crew who represented it were incredible. There is also at the end, a representation of Kenya traditional homesteads with a dense greenery.

In the past, the level of performance was very high and impressive, but since last year, the energy has diminished and the program has become lacking. I am hesitant to bring a foreign guest again.

A moderate hike. Generally a good place to unwind as you catch the view of Kajiado county. If you have perfect eyesight, you can spot Nairobi town too. The views are magical. Highly recommend

The hike was worth it. I have been to the hills previously but I have never completed the 7 hills. This time I went with that solo mission to start from Ngong and finish in Kiserian. It took me 2hr 45 minutes to complete. I thought it would be 4 hours. But 3rd and 4th hill is the one that will determine whether you give up or push on. Going up requires tact and patience otherwise you might end up giving in. Take your time. Rest when you feel your body calling for it. I think it helps if you are in group to psych each other up each hill. Big up to the young primary school pupils who zoomed past me as they did a walk to raise awareness for Dyslexia. People like taking photos at the 'Mezzanine' hill where Kengen has windmills. But at the top of Hill 7 the scene is super.

Good trail and long distance between the 7 ngong hills. Carry water and put on gripping shoes since the grass is a bit slippery. Put on clothes that cover the whole body due to the presence of tsetse flies and scorching sun.

Google Review for Ngong Hills Visiting Ngong Hillswas an absolutely refreshing and memorable experience! This destination is perfect for anyone who loves nature, scenic views, and outdoor activities. The views are simply breathtaking rolling green hills stretching as far as the eye can see, with panoramic sights of the Great Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi city skyline on the other. If you enjoy photography, this place is a dream! The hiking trail is well-marked and offers a mix of gentle slopes and challenging climbs, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned hikers. The cool breeze and fresh air make the hike enjoyable, and there are plenty of spots to take breaks and soak in the beauty. Security has improved, with guards along the trail, but I would still recommend going in a group for safety and extra fun. There are also wind turbines along the way, which add a unique touch to the landscape. A few tips: * Carry water and some snacks, as there are no shops along the trail. * Wear comfortable shoes and carry a light jacket—it can get windy and chilly at the top. * Go early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the midday sun. The only downside is that there are limited facilities like washrooms and seating areas, but the natural beauty more than makes up for it. Overall, Ngong Hills is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape close to Nairobi.

Ngong Hills 🚌offers one of the most rewarding hiking experiences just outside Nairobi. 🧗The trail winds through rolling hills lined with wind turbines, offering a stunning blend of natural beauty and modern energy innovation. The panoramic views stretch as far as the Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi’s skyline on the other — a breathtaking reminder of Kenya’s diverse landscape.🌍 The hike itself is moderately challenging but incredibly fulfilling, especially with the cool breeze and the company of fellow adventurers. Having a few First Aid supplies & adequate water always comes in handy ⛑️🦺🧰Along the way, you’ll find plenty of photo-worthy spots and resting points where you can simply take in the serenity.📸🖼️ Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful weekend getaway, Ngong Hills is the perfect destination.💯

Great place to catch a breath and relax.Family friendly as well whether you want to exercise or take a breather from the craze of the city

A beautiful place to spend your time with friends and family... The hiking is refreshing and re-energizing... Problem is if you car has less clearance.. Climbing up the hill might be a challenge. They should do proper road for people to access the top of the hills.. They can't be charging 250 ksh per person then have a poor infructures. There are officers checking the ETR receipt at the main gate and up at Transformer side. Generally it is a good place and purely lovely. I highly recommend if you wanna get out of town and go relax... It is a good place.

This is one of the most magical places I’ve ever visited (by far)!! The only recommendation I’ve give is to arrive early so you have a good view. It was amazing to learn about the critical work this wildlife trust is doing to save elephants from unfortunate situations. Even better, you can actually PET them if they come close enough which is a magical experience on its own.

One of the highlights in Nairobi is visiting this elephant orphanage. You can join a tour or book it online a few days ahead and get there by uber. Since this facility is located inside Nairobi National Park, you need to pay both national park fee and then this elephant orphanage fee. The elephant feeding show is only during 11 am and 12 noon.

Visiting the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was an amazing experience! Getting to see the baby elephants up close and learn about their rescue stories was truly unforgettable. It’s incredible how much care and love the team puts into protecting and rehabilitating these animals. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nairobi — it’s educational, heartwarming, and an absolute must-see right after Nairobi National Park.

It was the best experience of my life. Being able to see small elephants and even pet some of them when they came to say “hi” was magical. The whole place is amazing and spectacular and I would recommend everyone to visit this place. It is open only for one hour daily and after feeding and observing elephants, you can go and adopt one or buy some gadgets to support this place.

It’s a nice experience. The guy talking was very knowledgeable and knew every elephant by name and history. The wait to get in is unorganized and we had to pay an additional $147 to get into the park with the car which we thought was excessive (that’s not including the $20 per person to get into the elephant orphanage. To get in, you need to pre book online for the orphanage but also need to fill out a form to get into the park (which is mandatory) and if you haven’t done that beforehand, it could take a good 30 minutes to complete and pay for. The entry process is the only reason I gave it a 4 star and not a 5. It’s a shame because once inside, it was a definite 5 star.

Totally magical, one of the best things I've experienced. Once you're inside, you gather around the enclosure and the young elephants trot out into it, eagerly looking forward to.theor milk bottles. The drink them, some alone, some with help from their guardians. They then chew bark from branches, play with each other, roll in the mud and watch you. They get very close and you can even touch their rough skin. One of the main guardians gives information about each of the orphan elephants, what brought them to the Sheldrick Trust, and also some information about elephants in general. With the KWS park entrance fee, a visit isn't so cheap, but it's worth every penny.

A must visit for all animal enthusiasts, sanctuary provides a home for orphaned and abandoned wildlife, one of the charities that I'm more than happy to support. Loved the stories of how each of the elephants were rescued, good job guys, keep it up.

Interesting spot to visit. The guide was lovely and helpful, toilets are not clean, the cafe is nice, a small market is always there. A gift shop as well. If you’re a movie fan, watch “out of Africa “ before you go there

The Karen Blixen Museum is charming but a bit limited. You can’t take photos inside the house, and there’s very little to read on your own, so you mostly depend on the guide. On the plus side, the guide is very friendly, the house is beautifully preserved, and enjoying a cup of coffee during the visit was definitely the highlight.

Informative, historical, mind blowing and very familiar. Her story draw you in as though you might have crossed paths in a another life. The intricate pieces of her desires around the house leave you with a sense of awe and appreciation of her timeline. Great place to vosot to understand Karen the enigma and Karen the area

Well maintained museum and friendly staff. At the entrance you will be appointed a guide who will show you around. We did not feel rushed - the guide took it gentle and adjusted to our pace. The history behind Karen Blixen and the story of the house is explained. Recommendation: do take the nature walk! It’s beautiful.

Museum was good in that you get to see Karen's house and understand her impact on the community. Our assigned guide was a young lady and she was very, very quiet so it was difficult to hear her.

The ban on photography inside the museum is quite unfortunate. This is because we can connect with the essence of the artifacts, transcending time and space. If the original creators were still alive, they would likely not want their works to be merely displayed for visitors to observe or exploited for profit. Of course, there are valid concerns about potential damage or contamination of the artifacts through photography. However, the relics in this museum are exhibits that are not susceptible to such issues. The dead are revived in the memories of the living. That is the true power of culture.

It will be more interesting if you watch the movie "OUT OF AFRICA " Or read the book before visiting Karen blixen museum....I personally liked the place ,it has a cool serene,decent staff 🎉🎊 Coming again soon

Had a lovely experience learning about the evolution of Kenya rail system. The exhibit of the trains is a paradise for picture lovers. You can even enter some of the trains and have a feel. Cost 650ksh for non residents.

We visited in late October and caught the last purple flowers on the row of mature jacaranda trees that line the road to the station. It was a fabulous sight and we took our time ambling down this road and photographing the street art and the jacaranda trees. The railway museum is informative and fun to visit.

The Kenya Railway Museum in Nairobi is like stepping into a time machine… but with more steam and fewer DeLoreans. Tucked in the heart of the city near Nairobi’s CBD, this museum showcases the glory days of Kenya’s railway system, from old steam engines to vintage carriages. It’s a treat for history buffs, train enthusiasts, and anyone who secretly dreams of shouting “All aboard!” The exhibits are well-maintained, with a fascinating collection of locomotives, railway memorabilia, and informative displays about the Kenya-Uganda railway line. Kids will love climbing into old carriages, while adults will enjoy snapping photos that make their Instagram followers think they just time-traveled. The museum is very walkable, has decent parking, and is safe for families. Nearby, you can grab a bite at local eateries or explore Nairobi’s CBD after your railway adventure. A perfect spot to blend history, photography, and a little nostalgia for the golden age of rail travel in Kenya.

The small road outside the railway station is full of blooming blue jacarandas every September and October. This kind of big trees are planted along the whole road. This road is not very long, but taking a walk on this road, you can experience the unique scenery of this city.

The payment process was inefficient and discrinatory to people who don't transact with mobile money. They could improve on this by having alternative options such a debit/credit card and cash, especially for tourists and Kenyans who don't use mobile money.

This is a beautiful place to come and relax, and get to know about interesting historical facts about Kenya.

Had an amazing experience there recently.I'm a gen Z😅😂who has never used the older trains,so it was quite the experience getting to see them up close and take photos as well.

Excellent natural space. Very well maintained. Very fresh and clean air. So many different routes. One can come here multiple times and still take their due time to figure out the geography. You might find a new path every time you visit. So many tall trees. Also a good place to go jogging or running! For foreigners, the entry is a little expensive - 716 KSH. But it's worth it if you like nature. In today's world, where everyone has mobile - I found it absurd for them to charge money if you have a bigger camera. The camera entry cost was 1322 KSH, so I asked them to store it till the time I came back. The park official was very kind and he waited for me to come back to return my camera even though his shift has finished quite some time ago. Amazing place.

Lovely garden. A place of peace in the city. Lovely trees and grassy areas. Sit, picnic, play, run or walk. Do it all

A cool place to spend time. For a minute, you'll forget you're within the chaotic city. Just ensure you carry no plastics when visiting the place

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peaceful Escape in the Heart of Nairobi! 🌳🦋 The Nairobi Arboretum is a hidden gem right in the city. It’s perfect for nature walks, jogs, picnics, or just escaping the noise for a while. The air is fresh, the trees are towering, and there’s a beautiful mix of birds and monkeys if you’re lucky! 🐒🌿 It’s clean, well-maintained, and very affordable to access. There’s also a nice sense of safety with guards around, though it’s always good to go in a group, especially during quiet hours. Perfect for photoshoots 📸, morning workouts 💪, or weekend chill time with friends and family. Just carry your water, a mat, and your chill vibes. Highly recommend it!

It's a nice place to walk, run, picnic and relax. Note: -One use plastic is not allowed so carry water in a proper water bottle. -Depending on when you go, you can have long lines at the entrance especially on weekends in the afternoon. Aim for mornings. -The entrance fee went up recently 😑 When you want to exit, you can go back to the main exit or use a back exit leading to Westlands/Kilimani area.

Great space for picnics,nature walks,run, photography,team building.They also have a garden for events.There is a river also that flows through.Its spacious so you can always find your own spot that's not crowded.

Nairobi Arboretum is a cool place to spend your own personal time and to get to learn more about nature not forgetting the interaction with baboons 😂it is fun....

Located within the museum campus, this snake park has a good collection of reptiles, snakes and turtles that are common in the country. If you speak to the caretaker, you can also hold one of the baby pythons while he explains the conservation efforts to save them.

We had a good time, the guys there allowed us to handle some of the snakes, most snakes are like average size, didn’t see any like huge ones. If you aren’t a citizen it’s gone be hectic to pay a little bit, tip; get a citizen to pay for you

We paid for the joint museum and snake park tickets. There are many snakes, fish, a couple of very still crocodiles and an alligator, turtles, chameleons, bunnies and tortoises. The tanks/enclosures seem small and many had fake plants which felt sad. It seems like the place is in need of a refresh! We had a friendly guide show us round (make sure to tip) but I would say it's not necessary; they don't add much more information than the signs and they speed through.

Educational & Fun Visit at Nairobi Snake Park Had a very interesting time at the Nairobi Snake Park. The exhibits are informative, the keepers are knowledgeable, and the environment is clean and well-kept. Great spot for families and anyone curious about snakes and reptiles.

Generally a good experience. This part of the national museum has its own separate ticket. You get to see a lot of snakes. If you visit the national museum don't forget to visit this interesting part.

Generally exciting experience. Chance to connect with nature. Would recommend a bit larger aquarium

Loved the experience, guide can be free - they allow you to touch a snake. I didn’t liked the fact that snake was kept secluded in a box. There were few reptiles roaming around in the courtyard. If you have likeness for snakes, this place is for you. If you find them creepy- do visit as an escape room experiences. Show stopper - Black Mamba 30 minutes death if they attack

The walk was exceptional however the payment system didn’t work for visitors. After 45 minutes we had to pay a local visitor cash to pay for us using their system. Whilst incredibly frustrating, still glad we visited because the walk was lovely and it was very well preserved.

Looking for a place to recharge? This is the perfect place. Some few things to note: 1. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance 2. If you wanna buy at the gate, ensure you have sufficient amount in your account as cash payment is not accepted. 3. Plan your transport in advance, there's no local matatus nearby. 4. Carry a meal if you're planning to spend a whole day there as only snacks are available inside ie. Smokies, eggs, fruit juice and some fruits.

Not the best when it's not raining the waterfall is not at its peak.. otherwise great views nice hiking and biking environment, I would definitely recommend

#1 tip: Prepay tickets on Ecitizen website and/or have Mpesa. Didn't not know this and had a hassle to gain entry. #2 tip: Lots of trails, hire a guide for most direct route. We explored ourselves and walked in circles a bit. Ended up ~5K in 1.5 hrs , but there is a 10K option. Luckily, locals walking through were helpful to find exit. #3 tip: Enjoy. The fresh air and green space is a top priority for me. I am used to a lot of outdoor activity, hiking and walks in natural settings. This a true gem and reprieve of the urban jungle of concrete Nairobi. Did this after the Giraffe Center and Karen Blixen Museum.

It's a beautiful forest! Quite rustic and nice to visit.

Great place high reccomend Load data bundles to help you open e citizen at the gate to register your visit

A hidden gem within Nairobi City’s vicinity! Walk, talk, watch, sit, meditate…unwind in just a few minutes from the CBD.

Came here on a weekday and it was very nice. They did ask for passports at the entrance. Overall it’s a nice park to relax in the middle of the city. Felt very safe overall as a foreigner.

Nice park. Lots of space to have picnic or sit by yourself. There’s an amusement park and botanical garden as well as historical landmarks like the Mau Mau settlement monument. There’s food and drinks on sale and lots of games to add color to your day. It’s spacious enough to be quiet even though there are many people there. Recommended for personal or family and group days out

The newly renovated Uhuru Park is lush, green and serene. I especially visit on Sundays after church because of the kid fun activities there including bouncing castles, swings, boat rides, camel and horse rides, etc. The area is maintained by security forces and has tracks from walking or running! The waterfalls are not maintained though and could be better if regularly drained and maintained

The renovations at Uhuru Park have made it more appealing and safer for the public, and that effort is appreciated. My main request is consistency: clearer communication on entry rules, better maintenance of newly installed features, and ensuring vendors or commercial activities don’t crowd out open green areas. If these parts are addressed, the park will function much better for everyone, not just in the short term but in the long run.

Quiet and beautiful park. A place to sit undisturbed and admire the views of the city around.

Uhuru Park is like Nairobi’s living room. Everyone’s been here at least once — from lovebirds on boat rides, to students revising under trees, to preachers with megaphones, to politicians pulling mega rallies. 🗣️🎤 The park stretches right next to the CBD along Uhuru Highway and borders Kenyatta Avenue, Parliament Road, and Community area. Major landmarks around it include the Nairobi Serena Hotel, Parliament Buildings, Kenyatta Avenue Uhuru Monument, and not too far off — the iconic KICC rooftop stares right at it. 🏢 Inside, you’ll find: 🚤 Man-made lake – where you can rent a boat and live your Titanic fantasy (minus the iceberg). 🌳 Shady gardens – perfect for picnics, chilled dates, or just escaping Nairobi matatu noise. ⛪ Freedom Corner – the legendary protest & activism spot that shaped Kenya’s democracy. 🎠 Play zones – kids running wild, ice cream vendors chasing sales, and photographers chasing perfect shots. It’s free, it’s green, and it’s where Nairobians go when they want to slow down the city’s fast pace. If CBD feels like caffeine, Uhuru Park is chamomile tea. ☕🌿

Nice place to chill around, no issues to tourist or foreigners.

I went in to watch a movie at Anga which was good except for the two blackouts we had. I was rather disappointed by the bar on the 3rd Floor, the cocktails were unnecessarily watered down... Martinis don't come on the rocks

I was here training international participants who were curious about the solar-powered ice rink. I got permission from management to allow my participants to have look at the rink and they gladly allowed us to do so. This was an international ISCS training on HR Metrics. Kudos, management for granting us the opportunity to show off what Kenya has to offer.

It had good restaurants with good food. The ice skating rink was amazing. It also has a movie theatre.

I had such a fun time at Panari! The ice rink is definitely the highlight, it’s such a unique experience in Nairobi and really well maintained. What I loved most is that professionals are right there to guide and help if you don’t know how to skate, so even beginners can enjoy without feeling left out. After skating, my friend and I stopped by the Golden Café for a meal. The atmosphere was cozy, service was great, and the food was flavorful and fresh ,a perfect way to relax after all the activity. Panari makes for a really nice spot to spend the day, combining fun, support for learners, and good food all in one place. Definitely worth recommending!

Over the years Panari has kept its prestigious prominence as one of the upscale places to visit with lots of great stuff to do. MOst famous of them all is the ice skating, which to my knowledge is, or could be the only one in Nairobi. Well, this time I went to sample some meat extravaganza at the Fogo Gaucho, after visiting their other branches in Westlands. Safe to say I got exactly what I needed, and Ishmael who attended our table was quite verse and on point throughout the evening. There's more to Panari Sky of course, as mentioned the Ice Skating for kids and adults alike, Imax Anga, Spa, Lounges, Bar, Chinese Restaurant, pretty sure there's something you can do around here. Parking and security was no hassle, and we use the other exit to get back to Mombasa road. Will definitely explore other floors the next time I'm here and provide an update if need be.

For those who are in love with ice skating, this is the place

A really posh and serene environment. There are several interesting businesses to visit. Some of which include Restaurants, Cinema, Ice skating, Casino and others.

It's a nice place with many activities BUT could be much better if it was forbidden to put music on. Unfortunately people come with music boxes and/or their cars an play really loud music with no regards to other customers who paid the same price to be here and just wanted to have a nice family time and chill from the city chaos.

Plan yourself accordingly in terms of cash if you are to enjoy yourself in this place. Entrance is 530 for adults and that can be considered quit high for people like me. If you have to participate in other activities apart from walking and sitting you have to pay. Caves and waterfalls visit is 530/=. Come prepared.

Amazing experience! I visited the Stone Age Mau Mau caves, which are right behind the waterfall. The scenery is tranquil and suitable for holding events if given permission to. The picnic areas are accessible for all and have ready dustbins nearby for convenience. The washrooms are clean as well and has readily available water. As for the multiple activities here, one can host a trip, go boat riding, do zip lining and horse riding. All at an affordable price. 8/10. Would love to return here soon. Though if you want to go to the caves, please wear proper sports shoes 😅

Loved this place because there is plenty to do. It's a great place for picnics, events with friends and a hangout with family. They have archery, quad biking, house riding, camel riding, boat riding, nature trails, zip lining and visit our caves. You can't miss am activity to tickle your fancy. The process are standard so you can go prepared. The views are really beautiful. It had plenty of chill spot and restrooms around the fields. It was quite easy to get an inner from the place as well. It also has slides and trampoline for kids. If you'd like a solo adventure or a solo picnic, I definitely recommend. You can also camp at the site and security is available.

Nice picnic area with activities such as boat riding, horse riding, archery, zip lining and you can also feed the ostriches. Very serene area, if you like to connect with nature this is a great spot. They charge an entrance fee for your vehicle, kids and adults, the activities are also charged separately.Watch out for the hawks that are notorious for grabbing food.

It’s a cool place to relax near Nairobi and in the midst of nature. It has a variety of activities to engage in (boat riding, horse riding, archery, visiting the mau mau caves among others). Very many divers places to sit and relax. For those who do transcription, it’s a quiet spot for the job. I didn’t see a ramp though so not sure if it’s wheelchair friendly. Overall it’s pretty cool place.

Loved the place, very calm and just brought me back to nature. Really good site for a picnic or family day out but you pay at the gate ksh 300 for adults and children 200 plus car entrance as well, then you have to pay more to see caves and waterfalls as well but the Boat riding was however fun.

definitely would recommend if you’re young and tunt but not for me, bones were cracked and relationships were broken, i dislocated my ELBOW, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOURE ABOVE 10, suddenly time was so slow

Such a fun place to spend time with friends or family! The trampolines, foam pits, and obstacle zones are amazing, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The space is clean, safe, and full of energy — great music and vibes all around. Perfect for birthdays, kids, or just to unwind and have fun at Sarit Centre. Totally worth it!

Nice place for kids and teens to burn off energy. Not suitable for small children. The trampolines are well-maintained, and there’s a good variety of activities to keep everyone entertained. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the place feels safe and organized. It can get a bit busy during weekends, but overall it’s a fun and lively spot for an active day out.

Peak hours is only 1 hour which is not enough for the price of 1000 KES. Bring your own grip socks for the kids to avoid the 250 KES charge for them. Otherwise lovely environment..

Was greeted with a very bad attitude lady at the desk lack of information plus very aggressive language she said her name was karon. Was very hessitant to give me her name. Place was in otherwise clean and my kids enjoyed it. Please put someone with a better attitude at the dest

This is an awesome place for kids of all ages. An hour will cost you about KES 1250 which also includes a pair of anti slip socks. Its mostly trampolines in all types and sizes. They also serve some good meals which you can enjoy as your little one frolics in the great space. Its on the 4th floor of the new Village market building. Visited again and the place is still very well maintained. Prices remain the same. Highly recommended.

We had such a great experience at this place on Friday, the staff are awesome especially Vanessa her professionalism is on another level. You should all visit this amazing place.

Splash was really fun... Now, Long Closed. If you really miss the Splash lagoon pool check out AfroSayari at the Eastern Bypass Embakasi. No slides but Big and Fun lagoon style pool with a relaxed coast feel. Clear blue water in an African theme outdoor restaurant setting.

It's a good place if you've got a plus one, terrible if you're flying solo. Slides are awesome if you're a kid. Somewhat expensive, you know, the reasonable kind of expensive

There is sufficient parking and the places has tones of slides and a large swimming pool and plus it is not even that expensive for what you are getting. There are also restaurants so you do not need to worry about food.

The place has been closed for years don't attempt to go there it's a ghost town now look for alternatives.

Seems permanently closed

I love this place because of water fun... But for know it's closed 😔😔

This place is closed until further notice. At least they could update their website...

Great place to bring little ones for fun,education and little parties

Great place for kids!!

Awesome teachers. The kids love it.

Best place for kids

Children to enjoy themselves. Party.

Lovely place

Kids enjoy

The place is completely run down. The restaurant is no longer functional, chipping paint and closed exhibitions. Sad sight. Crocodile feeding is at 4pm on Sunday. Other than that...nothing much to see

We had an amazing experience in Mamba Village! It was one of our best experiences! Thank you to Agnes who gave us the best tour around the village. She was so passionate and you could tell she loves her job. Really recommend to go and have a walk around.

We visited Mamba Crocodile Village in Nairobi and had a fantastic time—definitely a hidden gem! We bought our tickets at the entrance with no hassle, and a friendly staff member guided us around, giving us an up-close look at the crocodiles and even the ostriches. It’s a very underrated spot that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. While the property could use a bit of upgrading, the experience itself was memorable and well worth it. I’d highly recommend it to anyone in Nairobi with an hour or two to spare—great for families or anyone looking for something a bit different.

It's a good place for picnics but not fun activities. Entrance fee at 200 shillings for adult citizen. The archery was good, 2k per session, boat riding across Africa, they offer horse riding, they've got quite a number of crocodiles and there's an ostrich on site. I give it a 2

Wild, weird, and unexpectedly heartwarming The best part? When the little tortoise popped out and raced toward me. I swear, it was like a slow-motion hug from nature. Moments like that just reaffirm your love for animals—you feel chosen. Like they somehow know you're one of the good ones. Then came the crocodile. Silent. Calculated. It moved toward me with stealth straight out of a wildlife documentary. I acted like I hadn’t noticed… but trust me, my heart was doing cartwheels. It was giving predator and prey—and I was the prey. For a second, I felt completely vulnerable, like a snack-sized visitor in its living room. Oddly enough, I loved the scare. I stayed on high alert the whole time—throwing glances here and there just in case an escapee was lurking. It felt like an extreme sport, but with sunbathing reptiles. That said, most of the animals were just vibing in the late morning sun, totally unbothered. Minding their business like retirees at a resort. Would I go again? Absolutely. But next time, I’m bringing a scaredy-cat friend—because what’s a little thrill without someone screaming beside you? Best part was when i paid local tour prices, who knew being Kenyan had its perks :)

Awesome place to get close to crocodiles. Bonus: the crocs are mostly those with some sort of injury that would prevent success in the wild.

After a long time it was a day well spent. Wonderful sanctuary for the crocs, knowledgeable guide. They should although think of expanding the place and bringing in different types of crocs.

The experience was great. I did the waterpark. I would suggest you book in advance if you'd like to try the other activities like kayaking or paddleboarding. 100% would recommend.

Had an amazing time here. The pricing is fair for the experience you get, and it’s definitely an activity that calls for some physical endurance, which makes it even more fun. I was also impressed by the number of lifeguards on standby; you really feel safe throughout. If you want to enjoy the place without the crowds, the best time to visit is on a weekday when it’s not busy. A great spot for both kids and adults looking for an active day out! Highly recommend.

Going by my 10 year-old niece's unbridled joy today, a 5-star rating is well-deserved! As the adult checking a minor into the water park, I was pleased about their intake process - it's detailed yet speedy and efficient: registration, getting gear, safety briefing and entry. Children play in the water park under the watch of plenty of lifeguards. It's quite pricey at KSh.2000/- for 2 hours (they're flexible with extra time when it's not busy), but after the 2 hours, the child was tired, happy and ready for lunch. So it's a great treat.

Awesome experience for adults and children alike. Quite athletic and required abit of endurance. Pricey too but well worth it for the adventure lovers

Kids loved it. From age six and up and be able to swim 25 metres(with an aid) as the activity is independent. The more confident the better as parents fairly way off from the attraction, unless on it too. Great for teenagers. Wetsuits and life jackets supplied, wear costumes underneath. Take towels and a padlock for the lockers.

Took my boys aged 7 and 9 and it was so much fun. If the sun is shining I would highly recommend.

A nice place full of fun and wonderful guides without compromising safety. We will visit again.

The concept of a bead workshop to help single mothers is great. Not sure how it went from this concept to a place that charges an arm and a leg with a less than enthused guide in Karen, a posh area of Nairobi. I guess it’s one way to nonprofit-wash a business and exploit the locals. New location is in a fancy office park.

Very good range of bead work but has become very costly in the recent years. Tough for a lady to enter and come out empty handed. The color combinations are very unique and varied - earrings, necklace. There is a low value range also but the shine amd brightness of colors is amazing in the higher price range. The showroom is well stocked - should have bulk buy discounts 😜😉

Enjoyed our visit in Kazuri Beads! Philip did a free tour of the factory and learned how they create them from start to finish. The craftsmanship and mission of Kazuri beads is definitely worth a visit! We also made our own bracelets with Lucy and Salome who were awesome and made the whole experience fun!

Amazing local business making STUNNING beaded jewellery! A must visit for Nairobi. The craftsmanship and care that goes into what they do is evident in the high quality plus you can see how everything is made from start to finish.

I took a tour of the factory which was very interesting. Philip was a helpful guide and answered all my questions. There is a nice gift shop where you can buy finished jewelry as well as individual beads. This is a great way to support local!

With a lot of love and care they make here the most beautiful, handmade jewelry. All beads are handmade and handpainted. The initiative provides jobs to 100 women. The guided tour is very interesting. Great to do with children. Kazuri can be also ordered online.

When we came to the factory, a really sweet lady gave us a tour and explained how the breads are made from start to finish. Afterward we went to the little shop, that you can see in the pictures. They sell very beautiful bracelets, necklaces, earnings, and also little animal figures. Everything is made by hand as you will learn during the tour.

We took our PP1 class. The amenities were really good. The children and the teachers really had a lot of fun. The food let us down but it is catered from outside. I was assured that they are looking into new caterers. Overall a 4.5/5

A small place for kids to play, quite expensive @1500 per kid and one parent with 200 per additional parent. Does not have a variety of playing this in this entry ticket price, trampoline and soft play is included , rope course is additional 400 with vr and playstation 5 at 500 for 30 mins. Though they offer full day ticket but usually it wil cost you around 3000 4000 per child if you want to let them try all the things This place does not have wifi and the inhouse canteen is quite expensive as well

I've been meaning to come to this place for over a year now, and when I finally did, it was worth the wait. I specifically came here for the Bowling side, which has to be said it, is quite modern and so much fun, for quite the fun, you can have a little back and forth competition with your buddies. Proper Covid-19 protocol has been set up to ensure your safety. At the time I was there, the charges were about $5 per person, with no time limit. There is sufficient room to hang out if you so wish, plenty of sitting area and quite a number of pool tables. And also, you can challenge yourself with the prominent sports murals painted on the wall, out of 13, I was able to name at least 11 personalities, which I think is an achievement, I do know my sports. Located within Next Gen mall, you can have a great time for kids in the children section and good food at the Food Court.

This is a beautiful indoor amusement parks for children that’s quite affordable, it costs around $10 per kid and they get to access all the games inside apart from the VR experience that would cost an extra $3. They also have bowling that both kids and adults can enjoy at $5 per person per session. Security is quite uptight which is very recommendable because of the kids, definitely going back.

Great place for kids to have fun. Charges are 1000 per kid. They also have VR which is charged separately. There are varieties of games: trampoline, "rock" climbing, slide, Lego, clay. Remember to carry a pair of socks or you'll buy at the entrance if you don't have.

Nicely done play area for kids, featuring a mini rock wall, trampolines, climbing nets, slides, Lego, the works. Attendants always on hand, and safety measures are all in place. Great place for your kid to burn off some energy while you attend to shopping.

Loved the Spontaneous Walk-In High Ropes 🧗‍♀️ Challenge.

We had an outstanding dining experience at The Talisman Restaurant. Our group of eight was extremely well looked after — the service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with every dish full of flavour and attention to detail. The ambience was elegant and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed evening. A special mention for the secure parking, which made the visit even more convenient. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful and delicious! They also let us stay late to chat and take photos. It is huge and open air, with a lovely safari/desert chic decor with lots of cozy nooks. Bring a sweater in case the night is chilly. We were there in late October.

Delicious food! Wonderful service. Busy but food came out surprisingly fast.

Absolutely loved it. The ambience was perfect, setting stunning and service outstanding. Definitely found a new favourite spot. Big shoutout to to Steve, Tim and Carol for making it extra special.

Talisman in Nairobi is a gem — warm ambience with a cozy fire and pet-friendly charm. The spinach & feta samosas were crisp and delicious, the farm-to-table salad fresh and vibrant, and the chicken in lemon zest and mushroom sauce with a whiskey savour was perfectly balanced and flavorful. Great food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere.

Great restaurant: The food was yummy, the atmosphere really cool and the service was great. Would be happy to go back any day.

If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and family-friendly place to unwind, this spot checks all the boxes. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by a calm and relaxed atmosphere perfect for both adults and kids. The seating is spacious and comfortable, with options for indoor or outdoor lounging depending on your mood. The environment is clean, well-kept, and surrounded by nature, making it ideal for conversations, bonding, or simply enjoying the moment. There’s a great variety of food and drinks from fresh juices to delicious snacks and full meals all served with excellent service. The kids' play area is a big plus, keeping the little ones entertained while adults relax. Whether you're out for a family lunch, weekend hangout, or just a quiet evening, this place offers a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and warm hospitality. Definitely a place you'd want to visit again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for families and small gatherings.

The place is good but it feels like it has the potential for much more than what it is now. The prices are high compared to the value i think

Zen garden is one of my favourite restaurants! It’s been me and my family’s go to place for years and the quality of food, drinks and service just keep getting better with each passing year and visit! We always order dumplings, the prawns tempura and wonton to start with. The sushi is to die for and so is their chilli pork with fried rice (they have a variety) or noodles. The atmosphere is great, relaxed and perfect for a weekend afternoon catch up with family or friends. It’s kid friendly too with a playground for the little ones. For dessert do try what they have as they’ve got that right from gelato to different types of cakes for all tastebuds. In short the food and drinks are pure delight for the tastebuds!

Lovely place surrounded by greenery, perfect for a relaxing meal. The kids' play area with slides is a nice addition. The food was great, especially the dim sums. Thr chef was kind enough to prepare dishes for us without egg. Service was a bit slow, probably because it was busy but worth waiting. The tiramisu was too good. It’d be nice to have more eggless dessert options.

A very good restaurant! We started with a pot of masala chai, as we arrived before lunch service had begun. The chai was very good, classic indian style. We then had a variety of starters, and would recommend the dan dan chicken, the prawn toast! The portion sizes were also very big, and we couldn't finish everything! Them milkshake was good, but nothing extraordinary. We axtually came back a second time and had some cocktails, which were good. However then we ordered a pot of chai and they just forgot about it. It was around 4pm and we were one of only three tables.

The restaurant is a lovely spot for lunch or dinner, offering a nice atmosphere and good potential. However, a few things could be improved. There’s no dessert menu — guests have to walk over to the display to make their choice. I ordered the tiramisu, which was quite basic and didn’t meet the expected standard. Service could also be more attentive; the waiters didn’t check in after serving, and there was no hostess to guide guests upon arrival, which made the experience feel a bit disorganized.I wouldn’t recommend going there for coffee or dessert.

Great food, great ambience & very fast service. Our waiter, Daniel was super sweet, professional & patient. God bless that young waiter. I would 100% recommend Zen Garden to anyone.

Zen Garden is such a beautiful place to chill, especially on a Sunday afternoon... They serve different kinds of food, and the waiter's there are so professional and so helpful to help you order something you like ..the ambience is also so calm ,the place can be good for a date , family meet ups , girls hangout etc ..they have parking inside and a beautiful garden where you can take picture...... If you are a lover of cocktails, then this is a place to be ..

If you’re looking for a unique wildlife experience in Nairobi, the Nairobi Animal Orphanage is a great place to visit. Located inside Nairobi National Park, it’s home to rescued animals like lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, monkeys, and rare birds. I loved how close you can get to the animals. It’s perfect for photography and learning about Kenya’s wildlife. Each animal has a story, and the staff are friendly and informative. The orphanage is affordable for both locals and tourists, and it’s ideal for a short day trip in Nairobi. I recommend going in the morning or late afternoon when it’s cooler and the animals are more active. If you’re a content creator or wildlife enthusiast, this is a must-see spot in Nairobi! 📍 Great for: • Nature lovers • Solo travelers • Families with kids • Local and international tourists • Content creators and photographers 💡 Travel tip: Combine your visit with the nearby Safari Walk or a Nairobi National Park tour for the full experience. ⭐ Overall rating: 4/5 📸 Don’t forget your camera! Bring one or a phone with good zoom for better animal shots 💵Entrance fees indicated in one of the photos.

Rescued animals being taken care of here. Amazing place. Please note that around 2.30 Mr Gerald will be feeding the animals. Gerald is a nice guy whose taken care of most of the big cats since they were cubs from about 20 years ago. Get to know him and watch him feed, it's the best part. Thank me later. Cheers

It was a lovely time to connect with nature and the family...the kids absolutely enjoyed the visit and we look forward to go again soon

If you go for a game drive in Nairobi National Park, make sure to stop by the animal orphanage! You will see more animals inside; they are usually kept there when they need more care than they can receive in the park itself.

Good place to see many animals in a small space; by the same token their habitat should be larger and more natural.

Good experience if you love baby elephants. You will hear about the history behind the orphanage and its impact.

I visited the Nairobi Animal Orphanage after booking with Bagheera Tours & Safaris Ltd, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The orphanage is beautifully run and full of rescued animals receiving real care and rehabilitation. Seeing lions, cheetahs, monkeys and others up close - each with their own rescue story - was emotional and inspiring. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about conservation, which makes the visit even more meaningful. Highly recommended for families, tourists and wildlife lovers.

Serenity in the middle of Nairobi. Birders paradise with a mix of indigenous and exotic trees. Most of the forest is fenced and patrolled. Around mid-2024, there have been some violent security incidences along the Southern bypass on.bikers and hikers.

The place is super serene. A verse simple and beautiful trek. The sit next to the water is a nice resting place, maybe they can add one more? Seemless entry, no issues whatsoever. Love love love the place. 🙌🏾✨️

A lovely forested area behind the new Football Stadium. Ideal for long walks among the trees and vines. Good for family picnics too.

It is lovely and peaceful and quiet. Though they need to improve on the signage on the trails it can be very confusing.

Great place to take a walk as you mediate

Truly a hidden haven amid the hustle of Ngong Road. I loved the serene environment and the gentle river winding through the forest ..a rare touch of tranquility in the city. I only hope this beautiful place is preserved for generations to come.

Serene, Green and tranquil. Carry something to keep you warm as it can get quite chilly due to the forest cover. It's childr friendly cause they can come and ride their bikes and run around.

Great experience. It's good for fun recommend family fun day for this place.

Best place in Kenya for shopping, relaxing,foods & beverages,games

The village bowl is a 12 lane bowling alley. They are located on the 2nd floor of the new wing at the Village Market. The bowling area is large enough, with ample seating spaces. You're required to sign a waiver form for injuries which might occur when you're there, this is the first thing you do before paying. Please remember to carry your socks since you have change your shoes and use the appropriate bowling shoes. The charges are Ksh 850 per person for each bowling session.

It was fun, a good idea for a date. The staff are kind and polite. Carry your own socks. Is it assumed that everyone going there knows how to play?

A very nice place to go, relax and play. They usually have offers on Thursdays where they charge ksh 350. You can also order for meals and drinks as you continue playing. Their services are exceptional.

We had an awesome time balling with friends. The venue was clean ,well kept and the ambiance was just right. A big THANK YOU to Terence for being patient with us and Great hospital service. We had fun!!

The place is awesome i enjoyed the bowl alley. They have nice food but very expensive. A very cool and calm place to relax your mind. The have very polite staff who are ready to make you enjoy the day

Loved the adrenaline of this place,come in a large group to make it more fun.Make sure you book in advance cause walkins are not that lucky,only thing i would ask is if they would place a camera or something that records people while they play,my friends and i would have paid extra for that actually 😂

I had my kids birthday here and would not recommend it. Their kit is NOT suitable for children, much too big, the overalls are full of holes, the elastic on the helmet is so loose the helmets drop down, the ppe is so old it hangs loose and offers no protection. During the party 1 child was shot on the forehead head while watching from behind the fence. (Fence had a huge hole) and another kid had a massive bruise where a bullet hit the skin through a hole in the PPE. Invest in some equipment paintfury!

Awsome place ...had alot of fun ...I intend to to be doing it more often ...the only reason I didn't give them a 5 is because the guns need to be serviced ...they kept jamming nd spilling paintballs

very easy to set up but fully in order you can have a lot of fun

This is where I settled for paintballing when I visit Nairobi. My family and I really enjoy ourselves. Our last visit the equipment was actually decent (goggles were newish, I could see!). We were not rushed and always get in a good cardio. Tips on your team winning, listen to the staff/referee instructions before the game.

Very Very Veryyyy!!!!! Poor customer service they don't pick up the call ask you to text them and when you do they say that they are very busy at the moment as if am not a customer. Very disappointed was looking forward to the experience but I'll have to find a different location. Hopefully Google gives a negative rating option in the future.

The best place to have fun and be safe at the same time good for team building or family reunions

Subpar cocktails! Marketed as quality over quantity but lacking in both. The food is mediocre at best, considering the price. The lamb was tough and very salty, 1.5 /10. Forget about the quesadillas, they’re a scam! The mash and mukimo, same but different. The waitress, Michelle was very honest and pleasant. I could go on and on…Unfortunately at the end even after we aired our concerns no service recovery was offered. Just a sad sorry. For the positive, if you after the views then you got it, 10/10. Overall 2/10. I would not recommend.

Nice little joint. The vibes are excellent, the views incredible. They have low music and you can have a chat making it an excellent location for a girls' hangout or date night. The servers were only two, and were busy as the place was full, but they did their best to make sure we got all our orders without waiting too long. The pizzas and juices were excellent. Will be back for the cocktails.

Went on a Saturday afternoon. No need for a reservation because it's not followed (Perhaps because the place is never filled). The service is average. The waiters are available and willing to offer any assistance (In order to wash your hands before meals, you use the toilets. You better have some wipes!). The pizza - spicy bbq chicken - wasn't that good honestly. The chicken wings was just average.The cocktails are however strong, so that can be a plus. The high seats (most available)are made of glass particles - interesting but uncomfortable especially when it gets cold. Otherwise, it's a good place to chill and enjoy the sunset.

Great place with amazing city views, the vibe is great. There are offer throughout the week, the food is decent. We had the vegetarian pizzas, cheesy garlic bread, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. Although the mozzarella sticks are not worth the price. Other than that the pricing is decent. The service is excellent, very friendly and fun waiters. There was a live band when we went, a bit too loud. Also, boardgames and Jenga is available for a fun time at no extra cost. Overall, good food, great place for a casual date or with a group of friends/work colleagues and great service.

Went on a Thursday, there was jazz night which was a nice touch. Happy hour from 12 noon to 8pm. The pizza was too spicy for my liking and the cocktails weren’t strong enough. I’d recommend going with a group of friends based on the seating arrangements. It’s a small space and may not offer enough privacy for date night.

Great ambience, friendly and quick service by the waiters. The pizza was mouthwatering 🤤 and the cocktails were really good! The views of the city are beautiful! You can watch the beautiful sunsets in Nairobi from this place.

Loved Jenga Jungle, perfect for Sundowners .The views are 👌👌 and they definitely have some of the best Happy hour deals on cocktails (2 for the price of 1) which are delicious. Depending on the day they also offer some cool deals on food.Had their pizza and was not disappointed at all.

Kids, teens adults. Place to have fun and relax. Different fun games, rides etc to enjoy.

Do not visit when rainy or after rains it's nt a solid ground it is muddy and slippery and mosquitoes. Rides are pretty old. Bouncy castles are dirty my kid enjoyed the train ride and the electric cars outside. Keep an eye on ur belongings.

Nairobi Nv Lunar Park is a fun and affordable amusement park in Nairobi, Kenya. The park is home to a variety of rides, including roller coasters, bumper cars, and a Ferris wheel. There is also a playground for children and a food court with a variety of food options. The park is open daily from 10am to 6pm. Admission is KES 500 for adults and KES 250 for children. I visited Nairobi Nv Lunar Park on a recent trip to Nairobi, and I had a great time. The rides were fun and exciting, and the food was delicious. The park was also very clean and well-maintained. Pros: Fun and affordable Variety of rides Clean and well-maintained Playground for children Food court with a variety of food options Cons: Can be crowded during peak season Some rides can be a bit scary for young children Overall: A fun and affordable amusement park in Nairobi! I highly recommend visiting Nairobi Nv Lunar Park if you are ever in Nairobi. It is a great place to have some fun and to enjoy a day out with family and friends.

A great place for fun for the whole family!

Excellent place to unwind with your buddies. Plenty of Nyama choma there. But I mostly like it because the atmosphere there feels different from the CBD. Its relaxing and cool even on hot days.

An awesome place to have fun with your kids

Want your children to enjoy a weekend out? This is definitely the place to be. It's a little over crowded and pricey during festivities though generally very wonderful.

I went with my one year old, he had fun BUT big kids are running everywhere and it’s a big dangerous for young ones. Also VERY DIRTY! I saw a lot of dust everywhere. The music is way too loud for kids. This place could be great with some work.

This place can comfortably compete with indoor games in the West for two reasons: the good helpful employees and the clown they had on the day we went to check it out for the first time. I give it a 3 star though due to their disrespectful and rude “manager of this establishment” Ms. Shilpa Shah. In my view, she did not demonstrate good customer service etiquette when she approached me rudely because I was looking through a box of crayons and paper to see what they had for my 3 year old to get creative. Wow. I was disappointed to say the least. Still, good place for kids the next time you are visiting at village market!

Not suitable for toddlers/kids under 4 yrs Not all floors/walls are padded to baby proof, slides are not well inclined to suit toddlers, cleanliness is also wanting. Unfriendly staff Learn from the Jungle in Sarit Center

Under The Sea is a colourful imagination of the sea and it's creatures, it includes Marine Mountain area, interactive games, Kids Craft Workshop, slides, mini golf etc.

Fantastic place for taking children. They definitely will have fun and want to come back

No proper supervision. Older kids running around recklessly.Adults not allowed to play( help)with the little ones so I don’t recommend this place for kids below 5 years old.

It's a beautiful place to be. It has a play made with slides, trampoline, among others.An assortment of games for kids with the option to draw.

A great place for kids to hang out after eating at the mall. Rides cost around 200 KES to 800KES.

The place is good but staff are not respectful

We are kids too. We visit garden city kid's area everynow and then for great leisure time.

This is a good place to take a child of less than ten years of age. The place has several options and it would be advisable to supervise your children since there barely seemed to be any one minding the place. The ambiance is good and one can also catch up on a newspaper while on the nice lawns.

The kids area usually has a vast array of activities to keep the young ones busy and well occupied. There are bouncing castles for all ages including one for tiny kids. There is also a water park for kids splashing around in. Kids can also access a mini beach area with slides and lots of sand to fool around with. Bouncing castles cost about shs300 per kid The water park is about shs 300 The mini beach costs a shs100 Parents can picnic nearby for free.

Beware of pickpockets who take advantage on crowded days to steal from unattended bags. One mother caught a strange child putting a hand in her bag where she had just put her phone and wallet.

A good place for kids. So fine and refreshing.

What an experience!! Yes, try to go hungry as there will be plenty of interesting options to choose from. Indeed, the selection of wild meat is not big (we had 2 the night we went). Service was good and quick, always paying attention. We waited a bit for a table (as we didn’t have reservation), but as soon as one freed up, we were carefully attended.

Very unique experience! Atmosphere is lively. Fire pit is quite impressive! We ate everything on the menu except for the spicy lamb sausages. Food was delicious and different from what we’re accustomed to in Canada. Meats offered were standard fair except for the ostrich meat and ox balls. Let bed the ostrich meat but not crazy about the ox balls ! Our waiter Alvin and host George were great! Best advice they gave… try everything and eat as much as you can! When you’re done you can drop the flag in surrender! 🤣

It's no wonder they've been voted among the top 50 restaurants in the world so often! Meats are fresh off the grill. Service is professional. They don't hurry you one bit. They never tire out doing the rounds until youre stuffed to your neck! Drinks are reasonable. MUST VISIT IN NAIROBI!

An unforgettable experience! The Carnivore is more than just a restaurant – lively atmosphere, excellent service, and an endless variety of meats, from beef to ostrich, served right at your table with the fun “all you can eat” style. Everything is perfectly cooked and complemented by tasty sides and sauces. A must-visit in Nairobi!

Most tourists come to town (Nairobi) are usually recommended to come to this restaurant to try the wild game meats. But the menu has changed since 2004. Back in the day, Carnivore used to serve all kinds of game meats-like ostrich, crocodile (alligator), giraffe, gazelle, wildebeest, buffalo, impala, and even zebra. Nowadays, the only exotic options left on the menu are ostrich and alligator, with the rest being your regular domesticated meats. In 2004, Kenya banned game meat to help with wildlife conservation efforts, except for ostriches and crocodiles, which can be farmed. As of 2024, it costs KSh 4,800 ($38) per person for their all-you-can-eat meat deal at Carnivore. But there are Brazilian steakhouses in Nairobi offering all-you- can-eat meat for half the price-and with better quality. Plus drinks and water aren't included here. Carnivore is iconic. It's always packed, and anyone visiting Kenya is told to check it out. And I think it is a tourist trap.

Not suitable for vegetarians. Mainly meat of all types is served. Perfectly prepared food. Perfect choice for meat lovers. We tried ostrich, pork, beef, lamb, chicken, quail, turkey and crocodile. It's good to have a reservation.

While the concept might evoke thoughts of a Brazilian steakhouse, Carnivore in Nairobi offers a truly distinctive and unforgettable dining experience. This restaurant delivers an incredible array of meat options, expertly prepared and covering a wide spectrum (just check out the menu in my pictures!). Beyond the food, the ambiance is fantastic; Carnivore is very well decorated, creating a vibrant and fitting setting. We were also impressed by the fast and efficient service, which ensured a seamless and enjoyable meal. The meat itself was incredibly tasty, and the accompanying sauces and salads perfectly complemented the rich flavors, truly enhancing the overall experience. And the dessert? It was indeed the perfect "icing on the cake," rounding out a magnificent meal. You simply cannot miss this gem when visiting Nairobi!

The experience is fair for the price. The outside is very chaotic and opposite a bus rank..& there is lots of noise with minimal parking inside..the complex was just noisy but this has nothing to do with the restaurant itself.. it’s beautiful and the staff are very welcoming.. the food was okay and so many options to choose from. There were kids running around but again the restaurant has no control over this. The ambience is just not great if you’re looking for a calm environment like i was.. the service I give it a 12/10! All the waiters were very nice!

Fogo Gaucho is a lovely Brazilian steakhouse with multiple branches. The service was just amazing. I loved everything I tried. You can also taste crocodile meat here upon availability.

Plenty of meat going around. Go there with a very empty stomach. Courteous waiters. Gets pretty busy during meal times. Parking is a bit of a challenge but they offer more parking next door.

Fogo Gaucho in Westlands is Nairobi’s go-to spot for an authentic Brazilian churrascaria and it delivers. If you love meat abundance, friendly service, and a festive dining experience, Fogo Gaucho Westlands is a stellar pick. Best for meat-lovers gatherings, celebrations, or a fun culinary treat.

The perfectly 👌 seared selection of meats, which include lamb, chicken 🐔, beef steaks, and pork; Tender, juicy, balanced, and delicious 😋. Good presentations overall. Fresh, zesty, herbaceous, tangy, visually appealing salads, and fresh bread rolls with soup 🍲. Martin served well.

Good one Salad bar and dessert not the best but meat is great

Our experience at fogo began really well and was one of a kind,,the food was amazing, fresh salads, all the meats were so tender and staff who approached us to refill our plates ( Charles and Wycliffe) were so kind and engaging. We were there to celebrate my sister’s 27th birthday. She at one point went to the bathroom and left me with my niece who is 2,,a very calm girl who had not cried or left her stroller at any one point during our whole time at the restaurant,,the baby panicking and not knowing where her mum was stood up and started pushing her stroller and didn’t distract any guest coz nobody was sat on that side of the restaurant. I followed her (Moseti who is a supervisor or something) walked to us,,me and the child and told me to secure the baby stroller because we are in a restaurant and not a playground,,it’s not a question of who was in the wrong or right,,it’s how he spoke to me that mattered,,I wasn’t there to beg for food I was there to pay. Our evening was so ruined by that disgraceful man. Wycliffe and Charles were amazing.❤️ they comforted us and apologized to us for that inconvenience,, though Moseti had to be forced to come to our table to apologize,,the apology was more of him trying to argue and justify himself

Lovely food, but an odd and uncomfortable experience with the management/supervisor. I visited Mambo Italia Lavington recently for a casual date night. We ordered two pizzas, enjoyed our meal, and I had a glass of white wine with dinner, while my date had a beer. As the evening progressed, I decided to have a cocktail to finish off the night after our meal — especially since it was happy hour and there was a good offer on the margaritas. Unfortunately, what should’ve been a relaxed and enjoyable evening took a strange turn. As I was sipping on my cocktail, the floor manager came over to our table and commented — rather bluntly — that she just wanted to see “who this was” that managed to have wine and then cocktails. She said she was surprised, adding that she had "never seen this before" at their restaurant. This went on and on for an uncomfortable amount of time. I was honestly taken aback. It felt unnecessary and a little embarrassing, especially since we were just enjoying our evening quietly and hadn’t done anything to warrant attention. It’s not unusual to have wine with dinner and a cocktail afterward — and certainly not something that should draw commentary from management. The food was great and the ambiance lovely, but that moment left me feeling uncomfortable, profiled, judged, and unwelcome. It was incredibly embarrasing, especially as I was on a date. It really killed the vibe of the evening, and we just left after that. A more thoughtful and respectful approach to customer interactions would make a big difference.

I had a lovely time at Mambo Italia where Nairobi meets Italy with it's good food and drink options. You've got a choice of making your own pizza as well. There's ample space for kids to play as well so it's good for a nice family hangout. The service was quick and tailored, you can get food recommended your way. I would recommend the ice-cream with a brownie. It's a bit breezy in the evening so a sweater would be good.

Enjoyed hanging out at Mambo Italia with a bunch of friends. The ambience is great and the menu has plenty of variety for everyone. Enjoyed their classic lasagna and it was a great delight.

Amazing place with a beautiful rooftop view of the usual Nairobi traffic madness! They have a kid’s play arcade on the rooftop (yea i know crazy) but perfectly safe. They have craft beer that comes with long intimidating glasses but we’ll still drink!! Pretty chilled out less noise & more fun.

We visited this place on Saturday during Easter holiday and I was pleasantly surprised how empty it was for the superb food and service they provide. We ordered BBQ Pork Ribs and Fillet Steak for the main course, and a few drinks: Passion Margarita (for my gf) and the Amarena Jack for me. Both food and drinks were amazing. So I highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back. BTW, passion margarita was served with sugar instead of salt, which my gf liked a lot. PS. I would probably try their pizza next time (for being an Italian restaurant.)

Beautiful place good for friends meet up meetings, couples and children too..I loved the ambience the pizzas were on point and the cocktails were amazing! though the service needs to improve we waited long to be served even though there were very few guests at the time.

Very nice kids play area. I love their food almost every time but sometime the same food tastes different. Traditore is the best pizza here and their Tiramisu is the best one in Nairobi.

Clean mall on smaller side compared to other international malls, but sufficient. Has 3 levels, underground parking, a Carrefour supermarket, Decathlon and other athletic stores, a few fast food restaurants, sit down eateries, and cafes. Escalator entrance to movie theater is next to Kid's Zone on top level.

The malls ambiance was nice but quite dirty at the kids area.Their Decathlon was pretty big and had a nice and large selection. 4/5 would recommend but I personally like Sarit Center more.

Great and popular shopping destination with a wide variety of stores, restaurants, and entertainment options. It's a great place to spend a day shopping, dining, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.

Westgate Shopping Mall, located in Nairobi’s Westlands district, is a premier destination for shopping and leisure. The mall features over 80 stores, including international and local brands such as Carrefour, Samsung, Levi’s, and Swarovski . Dining options range from fast-food outlets like KFC to cafes like Java House. Entertainment facilities include a cinema, bowling alley, and a Kids Club . The mall offers ample parking and maintains high security standards. Its modern design and welcoming atmosphere make it a popular choice for both locals and visitors.

Not a big mall but nice one, many shops and coffee shops, there’s a place for kids to play, it modern place

Westgate mall is another special mall which is smaller than BBS Mall, But looks Great.

As a traveler, The Westgate was pleasantly surprising. This mall matches up to the world standard and doesn't lack any international features and on top of it all, it is well maintained (even the Public toilets are clean)

Nice park. Lots of space to have picnic or sit by yourself. There’s an amusement park and botanical garden as well as historical landmarks like the Mau Mau settlement monument. There’s food and drinks on sale and lots of games to add color to your day. It’s spacious enough to be quiet even though there are many people there. Recommended for personal or family and group days out

I finally got to visit the newly renovated Uhuru Park, and wow, it’s such a beautiful upgrade! The design is modern, clean, and super inviting. Entry is free, and you can really see the effort that’s gone into maintaining the space. The ambience is cool and relaxing, with plenty of comfortable sitting areas and open spaces to just breathe and enjoy the outdoors. I especially loved how kid-friendly it is now, definitely a perfect spot for families. Whether you’re looking to chill, take a walk, or just enjoy some fresh air in the city, Uhuru Park is totally worth the visit.

The newly renovated Uhuru Park is lush, green and serene. I especially visit on Sundays after church because of the kid fun activities there including bouncing castles, swings, boat rides, camel and horse rides, etc. The area is maintained by security forces and has tracks from walking or running! The waterfalls are not maintained though and could be better if regularly drained and maintained

Quiet and beautiful park. A place to sit undisturbed and admire the views of the city around.

Nice place to chill around, no issues to tourist or foreigners.

not as warm as the old look Uhuru Park due to the increased stone structures, cabros and less trees, but it’s a good look. The view of the city below is majestic

Uhuru Park is like Nairobi’s living room. Everyone’s been here at least once — from lovebirds on boat rides, to students revising under trees, to preachers with megaphones, to politicians pulling mega rallies. 🗣️🎤 The park stretches right next to the CBD along Uhuru Highway and borders Kenyatta Avenue, Parliament Road, and Community area. Major landmarks around it include the Nairobi Serena Hotel, Parliament Buildings, Kenyatta Avenue Uhuru Monument, and not too far off — the iconic KICC rooftop stares right at it. 🏢 Inside, you’ll find: 🚤 Man-made lake – where you can rent a boat and live your Titanic fantasy (minus the iceberg). 🌳 Shady gardens – perfect for picnics, chilled dates, or just escaping Nairobi matatu noise. ⛪ Freedom Corner – the legendary protest & activism spot that shaped Kenya’s democracy. 🎠 Play zones – kids running wild, ice cream vendors chasing sales, and photographers chasing perfect shots. It’s free, it’s green, and it’s where Nairobians go when they want to slow down the city’s fast pace. If CBD feels like caffeine, Uhuru Park is chamomile tea. ☕🌿
