We discovered the place through friends who recommended it. It is a bit hidden away at the top section of the Johannesburg Old Fort which is part of the constitutional court precinct. I took my young children there once and they just loved it and keep asking to go back. This has resulted in several trips there now. It is basically a children’s museum with many activities which children can play and learn from. Be sure to get onto their mailing list so you can hear about their many events. We recently attended a book reading by young author Stacey Fue which was inspiring for my children.

It's a great initiative where they turned this 'painful' part of South African history (The Old Forth is a building - part of the Apartheid Prison at the Constitution Hill in Johannesburg) into children's play area. It offers interactive games, S.T.E.M. learning/building area, mobile and action games. Children can also learn about children's human rights and South African democratic voting process. The hosts were very nice and friendly, children relaxed and communicated with them with ease.

My kids have been here for more than 4 times and still love it! The staff are really cool and prompt kids to play with them.
