 Cape Town Kids AttractionsWith a warm climate, mountains, world-class beaches, and the
great outdoors on its doorstep, there is no shortage of things for
children to see and do in Cape Town. The question is more ''what can
children
do in Cape Town?'' as the opportunities are endless. Active families will enjoy the numerous hikes on Table Mountain,
as well as the cable car. The surrounding areas, such as Tokai,
False Bay and even Silvermine and Cape Point provide some excellent
walking trails too. Being such a bicycle-friendly city, there are
plenty of bike trails both on and off the mountains to be enjoyed.
Pack the frisbee and sunscreen and head to one of Cape Town''s
picture-perfect beaches to enjoy a spot of sunshine, but beware -
the water is cold! Or for a more relaxing day in the shade, pack a
picnic and lie under the shade of a tree in the world-renowned
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where there is plenty of space for
kids to run around. For those with less energy, pop the kids on one
of Cape Town''s open-top sightseeing buses - a great way to see the
top attractions in Cape Town. On days when outdoor activities are not an option, head off to
the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where craft markets, boat rides
and restaurants will keep the little ones entertained. The Two
Oceans Aquarium is also located here and provides a fascinating and
educational experience for children of all ages. When the sun sets on the ''Mother City'' there are plenty of great
restaurants where kids are welcome, such as the family-friendly
Spur, which offers indoor playgrounds, colouring books and balloons
for the little ones. |
