Great holiday fun at Carnival City
Aligned with its characteristic family friendly ethos, Carnival City, as part of the refurbishment, is transforming various spaces within the complex to optimise the fun factor for young people.
Recently unveiled is an exciting, grassed children’s outdoor play area with modern climbing frames in Carnival City’s Pocket Park.
Replacing the miniature golf course in the park, just outside the Magic Company, the playground is a welcome diversion for young visitors.
The brightly coloured, circling structures feature obstacles for children to climb and slides to zoom down while parents take a breather on one of the benches.
There is no cost to scramble and climb in the Pocket Park.
Up to January 10 free circus workshops for children will be staged daily (except Christmas Day) from noon to 5pm in the Pocket Park area.
Youngsters can learn to fly the trapeze, walk the tightrope, tumble on the trampoline, juggle and so much more.
“We are very excited about the playground in our Pocket Park as well as the other facilities and activities we have extended for younger visitors,” said Annemie Turk, Carnival City’s general manager.
“Exciting, robust, colourful and challenging, the climbing frames and slides offer young children a place to expend some of their energy outdoors.
There is also a choice of family friendly entertainment to enjoy including laser games at the Lazer Zone, go-karting on a simulated Grand Prix circuit, arcade games at the Magic Company, the latest movies at Ster Kinekor and ten pin bowling.
Other outdoor activities include rides for smaller children and carnival stalls where youngsters can take a stab at winning prizes.
