Johannesburg is best known for its rich history and cultural heritage, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be disappointed by it if you visit it with your entire family. This South African city is home to several pretty amazing kid-friendly attractions, and these three are leading the way.
Gold Reef City
Johannesburg’s most popular amusement park is located on an old gold mine, and it’s themed around the 19th-century gold rush. In addition to being home to over 30 rollercoasters and thrill rides, Gold Reef City also has a hotel, casino, and a museum dedicated to gold mining on the premises.
Johannesburg Zoo
Zoos are always pretty popular with family travelers, and the one in Johannesburg is no different. This 55-hectare zoo is dedicated to accommodation, enrichment, medical care of wild animals, and it’s best known for its white lion breeding program.
Sci-Bono Discovery Centre
If your kids enjoy exploring interactive museums in each new city they visit, Sci-Bono Discovery Centre will be their cup of tea. This museum is best known for offering hands-on exhibits and workshops in science, technology, and math that you can enjoy with your little ones.
