Southfield Mall Play Zone

Play Zone at Southfield Mall on the Eastern Bypass is an ocean-themed indoor play park — slides, twisting tunnels, a climbing net maze, swings and a ball pit — smaller and quieter than the big Westlands play centres, which suits families who want their kids playing rather than queuing. It also runs a full private-hire birthday package for weekend bookings.

How a family visit works

2. 2Check in, then let them onto the slides, twisting tunnels, climbing-net maze, swings and ball pit.
3. 3Stay close. It is smaller and quieter than the Westlands centres, which is the point if you want them playing instead of queuing.
4. 4Weekdays are the time to come if you want the equipment almost to yourselves.
5. 5For a birthday, ask about the private-hire weekend package rather than sharing the floor.

Parent questions

Is this worth the trip from Westlands?

If you already use the Eastern Bypass or live in Donholm, Embakasi or that side of town, yes. It is built for families who want a smaller floor, not a destination mall day.

Hours, tickets and activity rules change. Confirm the current details on the official site or at the gate before you travel.
