Garden City Mall

Thika Road, Nairobi Open daily

Garden City on Thika Road is built around a three-acre open park, which makes it the most outdoorsy of Nairobi's malls. The children's play park has swings, slides, trampolines and bouncy castles, plus water play and a small sand beach for younger kids, with events like puppet shows and face painting on weekends. Rides are charged separately and the surrounding restaurants let parents keep an eye on things from a table.

Good to know: Bring a change of clothes if the water play is open — nobody stays dry.
