Summer holiday outings to enjoy with your kids
The summer holidays are here and that means that boredom seems to constantly lurk on the horizon. To keep that holiday boredom at bay and to ensure that your kids don't find themselves glued to the TV day in and day out, why not look at getting out of your house and going on a holiday outing that's exciting, educational and most importantly - fun for the whole family.
Here are some exciting summer outings to enjoy with your kids these summer holidays:
Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens
One of the most wonderful places to visit in Johannesburg, the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens are a true testament to the beauty of nature and home to amazing local fauna and flora. With its picturesque waterfall, hiking trails and vast array of interesting plants, trees, animals and birds - including a breeding pair of Verreaux's eagles - you can spend hours exploring the gardens and all they have to offer. Take a picnic basket with you and enjoy a lovely picnic with your family on the beautiful lawns. The Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens is an exciting and affordable destination for a summer holiday outing and with so much to do and see, promises to be fun for the whole family.
Montecasino Bird Garden
Take a walk along elevated wooden walkways as you make your way through the enormous aviary that is home to the Montecasino Bird Garden. The Montecasino Bird Garden is home to more than 100 species of brightly coloured birds that come in all shapes and sizes, rare plants, as well as snakes, other reptile species and small mammals. The Bird Garden is a great place to explore and offers an excellent opportunity to learn about all the animals that call it home. They also offer exciting and interactive bird shows.
City Sightseeing Johannesburg
There is something inherently exciting about hopping on to a bright red double decker bus, to go on a city sightseeing adventure. Living in Johannesburg, we often forget that there are so many interesting and exciting places to see within our city. This hop on-hop off bus provides a great way to spend a beautiful summer's day getting to see all the interesting sights, museums and cultural spaces our city has to offer and will undoubtedly have you feeling a bit like a tourist in your own city.
Sci-Bono Discovery Centre
This educational centre feels less like a place of learning and more like a trip down the rabbit hole and into wonderland, with its mind-blowing array of science, technology and maths-related educational and interactive games and experiments. A trip to Sci-Bono Discovery Centre promises to be a dynamic, one of a kind experience, not only for your kids, but for the whole family.
Wits Planetarium
Say goodbye to Earth and explore the wonders of space and astronomy at the Wits Planetarium. Go on an amazing journey and learn all about the stars, planets and galaxies which make up our night sky. The Planetarium offers a one-of-a-kind stargazing experience that is both educational and out of this world.
With so many exciting and educational things to do and see in Johannesburg, there really is no excuse to spend the school holidays sitting on the couch at home, in front of the TV.
