Wall Climb

Sense of adventure required!

Our climbing wall is 8m high with four different routes, ranging from beginner to advanced. Each route requires physical and mental agility, strength, endurance and balance.

Being securely strapped into a harness, with a guide to assist you, your climbing experience is challenging but perfectly safe.

This activity is ideal for individuals with a sense of adventure, for birthday parties, and for team-building groups.

The Fun Company Arcade

Offering a wide variety of arcade games from shooters and drivers to kiddy rides and skill games, The Fun Company truly creates fun for the entire family!

All you need to do to get in on the action is buy a Fun Company play card in store for R10 (gone are the days of tokens and tickets), load your desired amount and swipe to activate the game. If you like to test your skills and the thrill of chasing tickets, then simply let the e-tickets accumulate to your play card and redeem them for a prize at the end of your visit, or bank them to save up for a mega prize!

Don't forget to visit on Tuesdays (not applicable during school and public holidays), when all games are half price all day.

What are you waiting for, come play where the fun always shines!

Whether you're 7 or 70, tenpin bowling offers all the makings of a great family-fun day out. With retro bowling shoes, balls of all weights and sizes, bumper rails and ramps for kids, there is every reason to make tenpin bowling a family affair.
