What is The Yard Glow Mini Golf (Village Market)?
The Yard is an 18-hole glow-in-the-dark mini golf course on the 4th floor of Village Market (inside Under The Sea). The obstacles are built from repurposed junk with a hit of Kenyan nostalgia ? part game, part art installation about giving old objects new life.
It costs KES 600 per adult and KES 450 per child under 12, with a Thursday KES 600 special and a bowling + golf combo at KES 950. Scorecards provided; a round takes 45 minutes to an hour.
The Yard's obstacles are built entirely from repurposed junk ? a mini golf course that doubles as a lesson in recycling and Kenyan design. It has become one of the New Wing's signature attractions since the entertainment floor opened.
