If water slides and pools aren’t your forte, then you should probably check out Haller Park. Formerly known as Bamburi Nature Trail, this place has always been the one-stop point for all animal lovers. Let the children run wild and be one with nature. Heller Park is home to a very flourishing ecosystem. Wildlife found here includes giraffes, Cape buffalo, zebras, waterbucks, and hippos. There are more than 160 species in the area including weaver birds, cranes, pelicans, and storks. Walking and cycling paths wind through the groves of casuarinas. A reptile park, palm garden, and crocodile pens are other attractions. A highlight is the giraffe feeding, but be sure to check the times before visiting. Nature trails lead to a butterfly pavilion.

Children who love sea animals also have a chance to see the animals up close. Mombasa Marine Park is one place children of all ages will love. Seahorses, Stingrays, and Eels are among the marine creatures inhabiting the reserve; Those wishing to remain dry can view the diverse marine life from a glass-bottom boat.

4. Mamba Village

When in Mombasa you can’t forget to visit the Mamba Village Centre in Nyali. It’s the biggest crocodile farm where children can learn about the life cycle and behaviour of these fascinating beasts. They also offer horseback riding and a botanical garden with an aquarium to enlighten kids about biology. The main highlight is watching the crocodiles fight for meat during feeding time.

5. Mombasa Go-Kart

Mombasa Go-Kart is a hit with speedsters and kids of all ages. Zoom around the smooth concrete track in go-karts and bounce around on the off-road buggies. After all the excitement, visitors can enjoy a snack at the family-friendly restaurant with computer games, a large playground, and a big screen showing sporting events. The Go-Kart track is what all adrenaline-driven kids need.

If all the fun and games are not enough, be sure to check out Mama Ngina Drive. The place is always a buzz with kids’ activities from bouncing castles, face-painting, and horseback riding to roller skating. All that happens as the cold sea breeze embraces you. There are hundreds of food stalls with tantalizing Swahili cuisines and street food.
