Loads of fun for the whole family...including thrill seekers! Cons: Short open times - opens late and closes early. Most rides don't function in rain (unlike international theme parks)

At the first glance, this appears to be an amusement park for children. The second glance allows you to appreciate the architecture, furnishings, rooms of a much earlier time.

I went with my partner for the day and did not get around all of it. maybe because we took our time to take it all in. We saw a few good traditional shows, staff were very friendly and happy. a must to visit for a fun day.

Great rides for young and old. Also, some not-so-thrilling ones for those faint-hearted. the kids enjoyed the puppet shows and games as well as the science area and gold-digging.

We went to Gold reef city to have a good day out and ride some exciting rides. Unfortunately when we arrived we were informed that about 10 of the rides were closed for maintenance.
