The Best Answer
Answered by PETERSON NJOROGE GATHIMBA , Nairobi, Kenya
village market is an ideal place to take the kids where they can have all the fan with the bouncing castles, water sports, while you can keep yourself busy balling, or chating with friends while having some drinks

Animal orphanage is good. If kids love animals... Nairobi Safari walk. There are other places out of Town like paradise lost on Kiambu road.
There are also places like village market where kids can play some games.
