Every year, millions of people travel to Kenya\u2019s capital, Nairobi. Not only does the city draw tourists from all over the world, but Kenyans who reside outside the city also frequently visit Nairobi for varied reasons such as trade, study, work, or simply for fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city\u2019s allure is irresistible as it continues to prove to be a dream destination for anyone looking to have a good time. The national park, thrilling entertainment joints, cutting-edge technology integrated into most service delivery, and amusing activities for both adults and children are just among the few examples of Nairobi\u2019s culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, while most entertainment options might leave a slight dent in your pockets, not all of them do. It is still possible to enjoy Nairobi even on a shoestring budget. Below are a few highlights of affordable fun options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bowling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Weekends offer an exciting chance for an afternoon of bowling. Although not entirely a new sport in Nairobi, bowling has received increasing popularity in the recent past largely because of how ideal an option it is for groups of friends or families who want to simply hang out while playing. It is an equally fun choice for couples as it makes for excellent date nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, you may enjoy a bowling game at the Village Market on Limuru road, Westgate and Sarit Centre malls in Westlands, and at NextGen Mall on Mombasa Road at Kes. 500 for an hour of gaming on Friday evenings and weekends. But if you really need to enjoy the best deals, there is usually an offer on weekdays where you can enjoy bowling for Kes. 350 between 10 am and 4 pm. You only have to check the specific establishments online for their current offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bowling alleys are a vision and quite frankly a sight to behold. Their stylish architectural designs, ambient lighting, and good music make the entire experience very relaxing and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few tips to note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need special bowling shoes, usually, the management provides special grip shoes at no extra cost. But you are allowed to carry your own.<\/li>
You don\u2019t have to worry; you will not miss your shoe size at the alley.<\/li>
You don\u2019t need to be a pro to go bowling, the joy is not in the score but in the fun of throwing the ball at the pins.<\/li>
Bowling is quite affordable and accessible to all.<\/li>
Most bowling alleys in Nairobi open at 10 am and close by 10 pm latest.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Jumping up and down a trampoline is the ultimate adrenaline fix, especially after a long week! It is a great activity that keeps you fit as you enjoy a day of simple fun. Adorned by beautiful urban graffiti, the Ozone Trampoline at Village Market is perfect for children, teens, and adults alike. It is this simple fact that adults get to play too, that makes the Ozone Trampoline Park that much more inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The charges are Kes. 1000 per person for a package of four games from Friday to Sunday. However, the rates are discounted to Kes. 700 on Monday to Wednesday. But it\u2019s on Thursday that the deals get really exciting! At just 550 per person, you get to enjoy the whole package of the trampoline, foosball, wall climbing, and shooting hoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need to get special grip socks for the trampoline. They are sold on-site for Kes. 250<\/li>
Wear comfortable clothing. Sportswear is best.<\/li>
Even if you may have not played these games before you will still have fun learning.<\/li>
The park opens at 8 am daily. It closes at 9 pm on weekdays and at 10 pm on weekends.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Gigantic Ferries Wheel- Two Rivers Mall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It sits 60 Meters above ground across a diameter of 55 meters. The wheel has 60 capsules each of which gives exquisitely sweeping views of the city and can hold a maximum of 240 people at maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
