Cape Town is truly a playground for the best adventures. Looking for ideas on how to spend your summer season? Why not explore some of these tried and tested activities in Cape Town for the entire family to enjoy! You might end up stumbling upon your new favourite spot, so grab your squad and have some fun!
Here are four awesome ways to stay entertained:
3D Mini Golf at Glowing Rooms SA
Picture this: the same mini golf that we all know and love, but with a sprinkle of custom airbrushed rooms and a dash of all things 3D. Blend that together, and you have an adventure worth travelling to Milnerton for.
Glowing Rooms SA is a magical experience and once you slide on those 3D glasses, you’ll be mesmerised by the kaleidoscopic views before you.
- Location: 1 Turf Club Dr, Milnerton, Cape Town

Scratch Patch
Don’t be fooled thinking that searching for colourful gems are only for kids to enjoy. Heading out to the Scratch Patch is one of my favourite weekend activities, and making a little nest for myself between thousands of beautiful stones reminds me of my days in Primary School writes Cape {town} Etc’s Micayla Vellai.
Once you’ve gathered your magical stones, you can enjoy the indoor Cave Golf and put your skills to the test. Whether you choose to visit Simon’s Town or the V&A Waterfront, you’re bound to have an amazing experience that might just become your new favourite weekend spot. Get digging!
World of Birds
The name says it all… The World of Birds offers an all-round experience where you’ll have the opportunity to gaze upon some of the most amazing birds (including other animals like cheeky New World monkeys).
Nestled in the heart of Hout Bay, there’s tons to see at this location, so make sure to set aside sufficient time to enjoy all the activities in store. Fair warning: you might find yourself hanging around for hours!
Clay Cafe
Clay Cafe is becoming the ultimate go-to spot for adults and kiddies alike. Channel your inner artist and explore creativity at its finest – there are no limits! Whether you choose to decorate a beautiful dish, or prefer jazzing up an amazing piggy bank (which I did), you’ll be spoilt for choice with everything that’s on offer!
You’ll also be able to satisfy those hunger pangs with the most delicious food and beverages, so make sure to ask for a menu on your next adventure.
