Entry is free, but there is no on-site food service, so bring your own provisions. The venue is closed on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), so plan accordingly. Parking is typically available on the church grounds.

The dry seasons (January to March and July to October) are ideal for visiting, as the grounds are most accessible and comfortable. The rainy seasons (April to June and November to December) can make the grass wet and muddy. Remember the venue is closed on weekends year-round.

Head to Limuru Town center (about 5 minutes away) where you'll find family-friendly local eateries serving Kenyan dishes and international fare. Alternatively, many families pack picnic lunches from Nairobi supermarkets before making the 30-minute drive to Limuru.
