There is no better time to enjoy Carnival City, a playground destination for families, than this upcoming December school holidays – perfect for those staying in Joburg this festive season. 

You have the opportunity to encounter all the exuberance of a travelling circus and fairground – jesters, roller-coasters and bright, bold colours all compete for sensory attention under Carnival City’s big top tent. At Carnival City dreams can come true and your inner child can come out to play.

Whether you have little ones or teenagers, there is fun at every turn, from the ringing and flashing of the arcade games at The Magic Company to Lazer Zone, ten-pin bowling, go-kart racing and synthetic ice-skating, which reopened this year.

Take the fun outside into the summer sun, to the Pocket Park, an outdoor play area with climbing frames and slides, perfect for energic young ones, at R20 per child. Those looking for thrills, the carnival rides are open weekends as well as school holidays between 12pm and 19pm.

At R200 per child/person, you can jump on as many rides as you want – access to unlimited rides include the Ferris wheel, carousel, train, flying cups, palio and skylabs, and elephant rides. * Excludes the go-karts. 

To keep the belly full, the property offers dining to suit everyone’s tastes through a wide selection of restaurants and fast-food outlets, including the ever-popular Panarottis, for Italian-inspired dishes including pizza and pasta.

The regular live DJ shows, concerts and other family-orientated events, coupled with a great selection of restaurants and other entertainment venues, all meld together to serve up a feast of fun for everyone. Seven days a week.

It’s never too late to join the circus. Come to Carnival City where the fun never stops.
