For leisure activities, family-themed events, clothes and shoe shopping, accessories, food joints and more, visit the Thika Road Mall, popularly known as TRM.
Located along the Thika Super Highway in Nairobi and only a few kilometres from the Garden City Mall, TRM is constantly a flurry of activities with people looking to shop or simply have a break from their normal routine.
Wondering where to drop your kids off as you shop? Tag them along and let them have fun interacting with children at the play park.
The mall is open daily at 8.30 am and closes at 11.00 p.m.
Below is a list of activities to engage in at the Thika Road Mall.
1. Play games at Funscapes
This is one of the most popular stopovers at the mall.
It is a family entertainment centre with hundreds of activities for both adults and children of all ages.
At the amusement park, children can engage in different games like jumping on trampolines, swinging, sliding and diving into pit balls.
For the lovers of indoor games, those are available as well.
For adults, karate classes are offered, which not only helps to keep fit but is a survival skill.
There is a defence programme for women that teaches them defence tactics in case of attacks.
Different art and craft lessons are taught like pottery, and children are taught to make things from scratch. This helps them build their motor skills and intellect.

They have a wide range of vegetarian dishes as well so no one feels left out.
4. Party at Saape Lounge
Occasionally, we all need to blow off steam and let loose a little, and what better way to do so, other than waste the night away in a fancy club or lounge? Saape Lounge has you covered on that, with hundreds of drinks to choose from.
If you prefer your drink soft, they have that in their collection. For those who love hard drinks like whiskey, gin, vodka and the like, they have that as well, so the choice is entirely yours.
