Last weekend, I found myself indoors with no particular plans until a friend invited me to what he called exploring our ‘inner child.’ Curious, I tagged along, not realizing I was about to embark on one of the most thrilling adventures I’d had in a while.
The visit to The Hub Park was nothing short of exciting. Right from the entrance, the lively atmosphere was evident, with children’s laughter and excited screams filling the air. Families were bonding over shared experiences, and to my surprise, even adults were actively participating – dispelling my assumption that the park was exclusively for children.
Located in the serene suburb of Karen, Nairobi, The Hub Karen Mall has elevated its family-friendly offerings with The Hub Park, which is East Africa’s largest indoor family entertainment Centre. The environment was serene, making it an ideal destination for those looking to combine shopping and dining with fun activities – an often daunting task.
An all-weather solution for family fun
With the holidays around the corner and the rainy season in full swing, many parents struggle to find engaging yet weather-proof activities for their kids. Based on my experience, I would genuinely recommend The Hub Park as the ultimate solution.
One feature that stood out was the segmentation of the park into different attractions, each offering multiple games. Unlike many indoor facilities that charge per game, The Hub Park allows visitors to pay per attraction, making it more cost-effective.
At the entrance, a secured Toddler Soft Play Arena caters to children aged 1 to 3 years. This unique space allows parents to explore with their little ones, helping them build confidence while making new discoveries.
Attractions and Packages
The park offers a variety of attractions designed for both children and adults. Packages include:
- Explorer Pass – 4 attractions
- Thrill-Seeker Pass – 6 attractions
- Adventure Delight Pass – 8 attractions
- Ultimate Pass – All-access, all-day
My favorite attraction was the Air Glider – an indoor zipline that was both thrilling and fun to ride. As I explored, I noticed that each attraction was well-staffed, with personnel ensuring strict adherence to safety procedures and maintaining the facilities in top condition. This attention to safety and maintenance stood out, providing peace of mind for parents and revellers alike.
World-Class Standards and Spacious Facilities
The park is so spacious that it’s easy to lose your way, but luckily, Kenneth Odhiambo, the assistant manager at The Hub Park, was my guide for the day. He shared that The Hub Park features ultra-modern facilities, comparable to those in Dubai, Egypt, and the USA.
Since its inception, the park has served over 20,000 visitors in various capacities. An impressive feature is its capacity to accommodate up to 1,000 people at once without feeling congested. With an environmentally friendly air conditioning system, children can play comfortably without discomfort from heat or perspiration – making it an ideal site for school trips.
Beyond Games: A Complete Family Experience
The Hub Park offers more than just physical activities. It provides a complete entertainment experience, with on-site dining options catering to diverse tastes – from quick snacks to full meals. Comfortable seating areas allow families to relax and recharge, ensuring quality time together. For those looking to celebrate special occasions, the park offers exciting birthday party venues and services.
A Must-Visit Destination
My visit to The Hub Park was a testament to the evolving landscape of family entertainment in Nairobi. Regardless of age, every visitor gets to enjoy a perfect blend of fun, adventure, safety, and comfort.
Conveniently located on the Upper Ground Floor at The Hub Karen, the facility offers ample parking, including three hours of free parking, baby-changing areas, and operates Monday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
For families searching for their next weekend outing, The Hub Park in Karen is the ultimate destination where fun meets adventure!
