Fun things to do with your kids in Jozi these Easter holidays

Don't start stressing about how you’re going to keep the kids happy these Easter holidays. Take them off to see amazing animatronics or to tackle an aqua obstacle course or giant maze

Tackle a floating obstacle course

If you haven’t yet taken the time to visit Stoke City Adventure Park in Midrand, you’re missing out.

Make the best of the last days of summer and book tickets for the Aqua Park: a series of inflatable slides, runways, jumping pillows and bouncers which are connected together to create Africa’s first floating obstacle course in the centre of a lake. Along with swings, ramps, ladders, a trampoline, a slide, and much more, it’s like living your own personal episode of Wipeout.

Be amazed at Honeydew Mazes

Appropriate for both adults and kids of all ages, the team behind Honeydew Mazes promise to amaze you, and what better way is there to spend a few hours than by getting lost with your nearest and dearest?

Booking isn’t necessary if you’re just a casual walk-in group, and the giant maze involves a quiz element that makes for a fun and interesting experience.

Mark off about three hours in your calendar to make sure you’ve got time to do both the giant maze and a few of the smaller mazes, and be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat.

Meet Megatron

Until 28 May, Emperors Palace will be home to some of the most incredible animatronics on Earth, all the way from the planet Cybertron. Book tickets for you and your kids for Transformers Animatronics and you’ll be able to see the Autobots, Decepticons, Dinobots and Rescue Bots in the flesh (or in the metal, rather).

With the show fresh from a Latin American tour, your kids will be awed and inspired by the incredible sculptures (made from wrecked cars) and ground-breaking performance technology that brings Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and their companions to life right before your eyes.
