Where to spend time with family on the weekend in Dar es Salaam?

Honestly, not so many places available to spend quality time with family on the weekend especially for those with kids.

I can name a few such as MarryBrown in Masaki, the new fast food restaurant in town provides children playground for free to their customer as a business attraction. Good playground facility but always full on the weekend.

Another playground and leisure area is Slip Way. It is about 1.5km up north from MarryBrown. Slip Way is a business complex where you can find Shrijee supermarket, Barclay bank, hotel, Japanese restaurant, to name a few. Behind the complex by the beach is an open area for kids to skate and cycling. There is also a playground where your kids can pla jumping castle, sands and swing with an entrance fee of 2000 tanzania shiling. Don't be surprised if you see a rusted playground facility there.

Jumping castle in the playground area. Entrance fee is 2000TSH per child. The open area is free. Kids can play roller blade, cycling or surfer. But you need to bring your own gear. No equipment for rental available.
