I finally found the best place to have fun at Village Market that is suitable for the whole family. The place is located at the Village Market on Limuru road just near the United Nations offices. They have three recreational facilities located on the second, third and the fourth floor of the new wing building. All these three facilities offer different fun activities which are all family friendly.
