Gold Reef City Theme Park

Description

Gold Reef City Theme Park is situated in Ormonde, Johannesburg, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. This exciting theme park, adjacent to the Gold reef City Casino, boasts over 30 rides consisting of rollercoasters, water rides, swings, and Ferris wheels to suit thrill-seekers, families, and children of all ages.

In keeping with its name, this entertainment wonderland is themed around the gold rush on the Witswatersrand. Staff wander around the park dressed in period costumes of the 1880s and the buildings are designed to mimic architecture of the same era.

Visitors can expect a day full of entertainment with shows at the amphitheatre and history lessons at the museum. The museum is dedicated to gold mining where one can expect to see gold-containing ore veins and see how real gold is poured into barrels. Other activities include playing with the animals at the farmyard and watching movies at the 4D movie theatre that features two movies at a time with 3D effects, surround sound, and chairs that move in sync with the film.
