Skate, spin, and groove: Why SK8City’s is evolving into Nairobi’s top weekend spot

Ten minutes from the heart of Nairobi lies what is arguably one of the biggest skating rinks in Africa. It is a refreshing scene known for its unique charm, dazzling lights, and rhythmic beats as you twirl and glide on four wheels.

Set on the fourth floor of Diamond Plaza 2, on 12th Parklands Avenue, the rink offers an indoor thrill for adrenaline junkies on wheels. For people of all ages searching for an unforgettable experience, this is the place to be.

From a rink interior bathed in a kaleidoscope of neon lights casting an energetic glow over the polished wooden floor to tasty meals, the skating rink offers an all-in-one experience.

Whether you are a seasoned skater or a newbie, sk8city with its modern amenities, and vibrant atmosphere is a welcome addition to the area’s skating culture. Exciting arcade games get you to socialise and have fun.

For sk8city, the days of solely seeing rollerblades are long gone. Today skaters may groove on four wheels which according to one of the trainers is an exhilarating new dimension.

Patrons also get immersed in a world of vibrant music and infectious enthusiasm. Both skaters and spectators get to enjoy exotic dishes from lasagna and shrimp to spaghetti, French fries and pancakes. Moreover, they have unwinding comfortable booths around the rink perfect for families.

Sk8city is more than a skating rink. It is targeting a wide array of events including bachelor parties, baby showers, and birthdays. The fun centre also has private party spaces each with a unique ambiance.

Some of its smallest rooms are perfect for intimate gatherings of up to 60 people while large rooms can accommodate 70-80 people for a cocktail party.

The contemporary rink also has a large platform stage that can hold sets and even full-fledged concerts, accommodating about 3,000 people. Every day at sk8city is meant to be an unforgettable one.

If you are an impatient motorist, you may find the parking a little of a pain due to the squeezed corners moving from one floor to the next.  But once you get to the rink, you’ll forget the parking challenges. So, if you are looking for a place to take your family this weekend, you may want to check this one out.
