Westgate Shopping Mall

Mwanzi Road, Westlands, Nairobi Open daily

Westgate is an easy indoor stop in Westlands when the weather turns: a jungle-themed children's play area with soft play, slides and climbing frames, plus a bowling alley upstairs for older kids. Cafés and restaurants ring the atrium, so parents can sit within sight of the play zone. It's a comfortable couple of hours rather than a full day out.

Good to know: Socks are usually required in the play area — keep a spare pair in the car.
