Gold reef city theme park is such an amazing place to be . Especially to get that adrelline running. The place is fun and has that energetic vibe. There is rides to take your breath away... like legit for real and then you can get those calming kid friendly ride. This place is an awesome place to be Especially if u planning a family holiday. There are awesome restaurants there to fill u up before your next ride. The place has beautiful scenery Especially on the helicopter ride and the ferries wheel .The staff there is super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back there again and try the rest of rides I have not been on.

It's a fun day out but there is a lot of room for improvement. We arrived at about 8:50 as the gates opened at 9am during the December holidays. Even though I booked and payed for the four tickets online I had to stand in 2 seperate ques. First one to get the tickets that go around your arm and the second one for gate gate entry. This was not clear at all and the staff didn't streamline the process either. Once you get inside nothing is open yet except for the Wimpy. No rides, nothing else. The wait time for the popular rides are about an hour and a half.

Always a good day out at Gold Reef City. We one day decided to visit a weekday and take a tour of the mine. This really benefitted us as we were the only people on the tour which gave us ample opportunity to take good pictures. The tour itself was informative and provided a different experience. I recommend anyone to try and book a tour just after the schools started as it is then, seemingly, the best time to go on this tour.

Gold reef will always be a childhood favourite but the queuing over an hour for thrill rides takes the enjoyment out of it. Still value for money as it's affordable entertainment for a whole day outing and the tickets are discounted if you are on the rewards programme. There are lots of stalls where you may buy affordable food.

I always enjoy the theme park, but this time the day was cut short at around 3 pm. It started raining, and all the games were stopped. By 4 pm, it had stopped raining, but the games were not back on. Just 15 minutes before closing (4:45), they turned on the games. I really felt sorry for those who arrived around 2 pm.

Gold reef city is a great place to visit! Lots of options for food and entertainment. They are very organized and the bathrooms are kept clean. It feels like a world of its own with the street entertainers and games in the streets. It’s probably the closest we’ll get to Disney land in SA

Gold Reef City is the most unique amusement park in Africa, but that is solely based on my opinion. I would recommend anyone to go there because there is something for everyone and the whole family can enjoy these events! FYI - When it's your birthday, you go in for free!

Amazing place to spend time with little or young kids. The whole day in 225 250 rands and numerous rides and activities for all age groups..... The only sad part was that the 4D movie was out of order for the last 3 weeks with technical problems and seems like they are not fixing it.Still worth the visit. More

Great experience. Rides for all ages and we didn't wait too long in the queues. Lots of food stalls and restaurants but you need to spend the day in order to really get the full experience.

You have to buy your tickets online, which, for me, makes things more convenient. There are the friendliest guys on stilts, painted gold, wearing mining type outfits, helping and directing people to where they must go, the line at the kiosk

Great place to visit and have fun, lots of rides are available and the staff were great at managing the lines for rides.There are food trucks and restaurants to eat at,one of the food trucks I ate at was Corn Artist (I had they're fried

I had a great time here one Saturday afternoon. I really suggest coming here as early as possible because waiting times to get on rides can be as long as one hour on a bad day. Still a fun thing to do with friends or family. More

Came here with siblings..., easy online booking.., Apparently, they now encourage everyone to book online ,no tickets at the gate. I'm not sure if it's because it's the festive season or it's the new rule.

I have been going to Goldreef City since I was a child and now we go there with my nephews and recently, my baby. It is a great place to go with the whole family and is always fun. There is so

Love the place, but I am not sure I will come back again cause of the lines. You have to wait close to an hour just to ride any of their play game because it is fully packed. More

Always best when not too full, got on all my favorite rides twice and the food stalls are the best. Was disappointed to see that Mug and Bean is lno longer there.

We had an absolute blast!! The Online Ticket booking is convenient and fast and definitely helps the queues at the entrance going very fast and efficient.

We had alot of fun. My son got in free as it was his Birthday. Lots of rides, good food, great experience. A blast for the entire family. More

Amazing place to enjoy and have fun. Only downside is that some rides aren't working/moving at times. Great place none the less. More

The mine tour was amazing. Queues a bit long at the rides, but was due to the amount of people at GRC... They work very safe though.
