Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you would like to have a 360 degree view of Nairobi then this is it! Awesome! I’m thrilled I went! This is a bird’s eye view of Nairobi. At night it must be amazing too.

Amazing views of the city, 27 storeys above ground. Certainly puts Nairobi into perspective. Well worth the fee of 500 KSh per person. Be warned, there’s still 4 sets of stairs and a spiral staircase to climb after alighting on the 27th floor. Important consideration for the mobility challenged!

Its worth visiting on a clear sky day. Easily one can spend one hour. View from top is priceless. Good place to hang around for 1-2 hours.

We went to the top of tower at sunset. It’s actually a helicopter landing pad. We enjoyed spending 2 hours up there taking in the views of Nairobi.

Initially, I was told by friends that this was just okay, but I really enjoyed my visit to the top. The elevator ride is only KSH 5000 and I enjoyed the 30 min I spent at the top looking at all of Nairobi. It was a beautiful day with great visibility.

Breathtaking 360 degrees view of Nairobi city. Great for a sundowner and watching the beautiful Nairobi sunset. A must visit when you are in Nairobi.

This was a fun spot to see in Nairobi, you need an ID (we used a driver's license). You pay a small fee and get to go the helicopter pad to look out on the city.

I have a layover in Nairobi from 6 am until 3 pm. Is it possible to use this time to get to the city center and see this conference center? If so, what is the best way to reach it and how much is admission? THANKS!

Hi, it is indeed possible to go to Nairobi city center and return to the airport in good time during this stop over. Going up to the top of this conference center will give you a good view of the city but it should not be the only activity you undertake if you decide to go to the city. Try get some local art/crafts/sandals from the masaai market besides grabbing an early lunch. Usually, uber offers the cheapest rides but the cab that takes you to town from the airport can be negotiated with for a return ride at a reasonable rate.

I wouldn't prefer going there for such early entry. Unless you wish to hold a conference in future.
Rather prefer to visit to Museum or Mamba village ( feeding time at 4pm) and Giraffe center and start back to airport at 1pm.

Can anyone just turn up and buy a ticket to go to the viewing area. I have been looking at the website and it is not clear. Are there specific times it is open?
