EXPERIENCES THIS WEEK
Discover the Joy of Jumping at The Hub Karen’s Trampoline Arena
If your kids wake up with energy to spare (and let’s be honest, when don’t they?), the Trampoline Arena at The Hub Karen is officially your new lifesaver — and now, you can book it instantly on KenyaBuzz straight from your couch. No queues, no impatient little humans tugging at your sleeve. Just arrive, check in, and let the bouncing begin!
The Trampoline Arena is the kind of place that makes even grown-ups wonder why adulthood doesn’t come with mandatory playtime. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with wall-to-wall trampolines, slam-dunk hoops, dodgeball zones, and interactive screens that turn every jump into a mini-competition. The kids will be yelling, “Watch this!” every two minutes and you might even find yourself joining them. What makes this spot such a hit is how spacious and immersive it is. You’re not squeezed onto one tiny trampoline; you have entire bays to jump, flip, run, and defy gravity. The interactive screens are a total gamechanger, adding challenges, scores and little bursts of excitement that keep even the shyest child completely
engaged. And yes, adults are absolutely welcome to get in on the action. If you still have a spring in your step (or think you do), this is your moment.
Safety is a big priority here: gripped socks are mandatory, long hair must be tied back, and the arena accommodates kids from 6 years and above, with a height range of 95 cm to 187 cm and a maximum weight of 85 kg. Whether it’s after-school play, a birthday surprise, or a weekend energy-burner, the arena is open daily: Monday to Thursday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Friday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. You can enjoy the trampoline as part of any package bought, or you can choose to play trampoline only for KSh 1,300 per hour.
Additionally, The Hub Park has so many other activities that you and your child can be a part of, including leisure climbing, a toddler play area, tag arena, aerial pipe glider, and an interactive game hub for the ultimate gamers. Packages are available for booking that combine multiple activities, which you can also book on KenyaBuzz.
So go ahead, book your experience(s), show up and let the kids bounce their hearts out.
