Aligned with its characteristic family-friendly ethos, Carnival City, as part of the refurbishment, is transforming various spaces within the complex to optimise the fun factor for young people.<\/p>\n

Recently unveiled is an exciting, grassed children\u2019s outdoor play area, with modern climbing frames, in Carnival City\u2019s Pocket Park.<\/p>

Replacing the miniature golf course in the park, just outside the Magic Company, the playground is a welcome diversion for young visitors.<\/p>\n

The brightly coloured, circling structures feature obstacles for children to climb and slides to zoom down, while parents take a breather on one of the benches.<\/p>

There is no cost to scramble and climb in the Pocket Park.<\/p>\n

Refreshments and meals are available nearby.<\/p>\n

From December 10 to January 10, free circus workshops for children will be staged daily (except Christmas day) from noon to 5pm in the Pocket Park area.<\/p>\n

Youngsters can learn to fly on the trapeze, walk the tightrope, tumble on the trampoline, juggle and so much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited about the playground in our Pocket Park, as well as the other facilities and activities we have extended for younger visitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cExciting, robust, colourful and challenging, the climbing frames and slides offer young children a place to expend some of their energy outdoors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revitalised Pocket Park is part of our promise to deliver a diverse range of entertainment and activities for visitors of all ages\u201d said Annemie Turk, Carnival City\u2019s general manager.<\/p>\n

Carnival City recently became home to the brand new Thunder Eagle Spur and Panarottis.<\/p>\n

The restaurants share a large children\u2019s play area.<\/p>\n

The space features play modulars and plenty of kids\u2019 entertainment, making it an ideal venue for family get-togethers and parties.<\/p>\n

The restaurants each have their own separate seating, with a capacity of 324 and 186 diners respectively.<\/p>\n

There is also a choice of family-friendly entertainment to enjoy, including laser games at the Lazer Zone, go-karting on a simulated Grand Prix circuit, arcade games at the Magic Company, the latest movies at Ster Kinekor and tenpin bowling.<\/p>\n

Other outdoor activities include rides for smaller children and carnival stalls, where youngsters can take a stab at winning prizes.<\/p>\n
