Most people can’t imagine embarking on a family trip without visiting an amusement park. Many countries have a few in store, and South Africa is no different. Here are three amazing theme parks that you should put on your bucket list if you’re visiting this country with your kids.
Gold Reef City
Gold Reef City is the most iconic theme park in Johannesburg, and it’s located on the grounds of an old gold mine. It was inspired by the gold rush, and it offers something for visitors of all ages, from water rides and roller coasters for kids to the iconic Gold Reef City Casino for their parents.
Sun City
Sun City is one of South Africa’s most popular luxury resorts, and the amusement parks on its premises make it perfect for family visits. Valley of Waves water park is its most popular attraction, but Maze of the Lost City, Forest of Lights, and Magic Company are also worth checking out.
uShaka Marine World
If you find yourself in Durban with your family and only have time to visit one theme park, uShaka Marine World should make the cut. In addition to being home to one of the country’s best aquariums, it also houses several more attractions, including a water park, beach, rope adventure park, reptile zoo, and a replica of an African village.
