Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Johannesburg, Gauteng

September 22, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip cafe or five-star restaurant. And if you're a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open-air markets and places that blend the two, you'll find plenty of unique souvenirs.

Beautiful wild gardens restored to former glory. Sit on the lawns with a picnic basket or explore the hills and look for James Delaney's lazer cut animals hidden between the plants. Stunning views over Jozi from the Sundial.

South African National Museum of Military History

This large museum contains mostly military-related records, journals, weapons and photographs that depict the nation’s participation in large-scale conflicts.

Reviewed By janephere - Benjamin, United States

Fantastic. Everything you visit there is a new exhibit. Some of the rarest and best preserved militeria are on display here. The Museum, is well laid out, exhibits are well described, the facilities are neat and clean. It spans from the 1800 to current. Its an experience seeing the weaponry you used on display in a museum.

Hector Pieterson Memorial

The 1976 photograph of slain thirteen-year old Hector Pieterson, carried by a friend while his grieving sister runs alongside, is a chilling reminder that South African was changed thereafter.

Reviewed By 951lucindat

The memorial and what it represents tugs at the heart. You need a local to truly explain the significance of this memorial and Soweto uprising. Hector's sister also works at the memorial. If you visit Robben Island you will also meet one of the guides that was also arrested as part of the uprising and served time as a prisoner at Robben Island.

Acrobranch Melrose

Come have fun in trees with us. 4 courses, from 3 years old up to 70 years old or more, + a giant Zip line, 250m long.Zip lines, monkey bridge, Tarzan Jump, Wire Walk, etc... in a safe environment with our harnesses, and well trained staff. You will spend 2 hours in a natural environment, in one of the most beautiful Park of Johannesburg.

Reviewed By tracyleer_12 - Johannesburg, South Africa

We really enjoyed our visit to Acrobranch. My sons enjoyed climbing around on the different obstacle courses they have in the trees. The big zip line was an absolute hit with dad & the kids despite them being a little nervous. The boys enjoyed the other 4 zip lines but the big zip was the winner hands down. Its a wonderful outdoor adventure that keeps everyone entertained for hours and well worth the price. The staff were fantastic and have loads of patience with the kids, big and small. Remember the park is a cash free zone so pay online when booking or take your bank card. We will certainly be returning soon.

Whenever I use the gautrain it is always on time and it is also very efficient, very neat inside as well and you cannot miss where you get off because it always reminds you. The ride to the airport is a bit too pricey though
