Discover Kraaifontein

Kraaifontein offers several distinct points of interest for a family trip: play and rides, gardens, sport, and a place of remembrance. This can help you choose a holiday apartment if you first want to weigh up which themes matter to your travel group. A day of play activities has a different focus from an interest in gardens or vehicles; the sports ground and cemetery add further options in their own way.

Play, gardens and vehicles

Bugz Playpark combines indoor and outdoor play, rides, animals and parties. Water activities are also available; the water play is seasonal. The playpark is designed for family outings, school-holiday adventures and birthday parties. This brings several types of activity together in one place, rather than limiting the offering to a single activity. As activities and operating arrangements may change, check the latest information before visiting.

Cape Garden Joostenbergvlakte offers gardens to explore, as well as pots, decorative items and gifts to browse. Visiting the gardens and shopping here make for a different combination from the play activities at Bugz. When considering which interests your travel group shares, you can look at these two options separately: on the one hand, play, rides and animals; on the other, gardens and things to look at or browse.

The Wijnland Auto Museum is located nearby in Joostenberg Vlakte. It displays a diverse vehicle collection that includes rusty cars; visitors can also view the inside of a Convair aircraft. The change from cars to aircraft gives vehicle enthusiasts two specific perspectives within the same theme. This sets the museum apart from both a garden visit and the play and leisure activities in Kraaifontein.

Sport and getting around

Blueridge Sports Ground in Kraaifontein has six soccer fields. One of them is floodlit. If soccer is one of your travel group’s interests, this is a clear sporting point of interest locally. The floodlighting applies to one of the six fields, not to the entire facility.

Kraaifontein railway station may also play a part in your travel planning: it is one of 16 stations equipped with upgraded park-and-ride facilities. If you would like to include rail travel in your arrival plans or other arrangements, check the latest train services directly with the operator before travelling.

A place of remembrance

Kraaifontein Cemetery covers ten hectares and is a green space for remembering and commemorating the dead. Its features include memorial walls with inscriptions, mausoleums and niches. This gives the cemetery a different focus from the leisure and sporting activities. When choosing where to go, it may therefore also matter whether you are interested in places of remembrance as well as active outings.

These different points of interest address different questions when planning a trip: Bugz brings together several play and leisure activities, Cape Garden combines gardens with things to browse, and the museum is geared towards vehicle enthusiasts. Soccer, rail infrastructure and the cemetery each add a theme of their own. This lets you weigh up your travel group’s interests before choosing a holiday apartment for your stay in Kraaifontein.
