HintHunt – The escape Game

A mind-boggling, brain-twisting live team escape game that delights the mental muscles and makes for a brilliant Mother City memory.

The escape game is a fun and unique game designed for a small group of 3-5 people – which is groundbreaking as a team building activity. The team must work together for 60 minutes to solve a mountain of puzzle and mysteries in a tiny room, that will ultimately lead to escape.

Go Rock Climbing

They are not wet and slippery because it’s all inside. CityRock facilities include a large bouldering area (bouldering is climbing 3-4 metres high with a rope) and high walls for roped climbing. However, they also cater to a different audience – from first-time kids to experienced outdoor climbers and everyone in between.

Play golf in a cave

Cave gold is an indoor 18-hole putt-putt course inside a man-made cave, with an assortment of tricky angles, uneven surfaces, steep hills and awkward obstacles. However, it shares its space with the Kids Scratch Patch Kids play area in the V&A Waterfront.

Visit the Labia

The oldest independent cinema in Africa and shows independent art films. Various film festivals are also run here and they have great two for one special (including a meal at restaurants in the neighbourhood) on different nights for the week.

Best of all, they have a fully-stocked bar at the cinema, so grab your popcorn and a warming glass of red and forget about the grey day outside.

Bounce off the walls at Rush

Rush is an indoor extreme Trampoline Park with 1500-2500 square metres of adventure excitement, fun and challenges.

They have 1700 square metres of a wall to wall interconnected trampolines, including dodge-ball courts, an 1800 cube foam pit, hydraulic slam dunk basketball hoops, battle Beam as well as a 4 metre high Performing Wall. There’s also free wifi, a viewing gallery, a coffee shop and lots of big screen televisions.

Ice Skating in Cape Town

Hire some skates and have fun at the Olympic-sized ice rink at the Grand West Family Entertainment Centre. The Ice Station offers energetic entertainment for all ages – Remember to dress warmly.

Experience the audio-visual in the Iziko Museum

The Planetarium transports you through the wonders of the universe. Inside the domed auditorium, the night sky is recreated – so whatever the weather outside is, the Planetarium sky is always clear. The experience is for both young and old individual.
