School holiday festivities at Maropeng (21 June to 13 July)
June 2, 2008
Running out of ideas to keep the kids busy in the school holidays? A trip to Maropeng, the official visitor centre for the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, will keep young minds occupied long after the visit is over. The Maropeng Visitor Centre is open daily from 9am to 5pm, and the last boat ride departs at 4pm. Guided tours are offered on weekends.
The entrance fee for the visitor centre is R85 for adults and R50 for children between the ages of four and fourteen. Children accompanied by at least one adult qualify for an entry and lunch voucher package for R60 per child (excluding buffet lunch at the Tumulus restaurant). A combination entrance ticket is available for Maropeng and Sterkfontein Caves for R130 for adults and R80 for children.
