The kids go back to school soon, and we’re guessing they’re not too pleased about it. Why not treat them to one last holiday adventure or temper their back-to-school angst with a weekend excursion or two. And yes, money’s tight at this time of the year. But that’s why we’ve selected a bunch of kids’ activities offered around Cape Town to put smiles on your youngsters’ faces while keeping you solvent until the next payday.
1 Pumptrack, V&A Waterfront
Kids and their wheels, right? The Waterfront’s Pumptrack presents a unique experience for children who love to ride bicycles, BMX bikes, mountain bikes, scooters and skateboards. Riders use an up-and-down ‘pumping’ motion to propel their ride of choice along a 50-meter-long track. This activity is not only loads of fun but helps children improve their balance and confidence, and learn riding skills.

It might be summer, but the kids can still experience the chill of the festive season thanks to Canal Walk’s Ice Adventure. Created in association with Baskin-Robbins, the exhibition will take you back several aeons to a time when mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers roamed the earth. It features life-sized replicas of these creatures, ice-slides, a snow-zone for building snowmen and igloos, and a Sub-Zero Ice Chamber housing a frozen waterfall.
