Located in the south of Johannesburg, Gold Reef City is a unique amusement park built on the site of a former gold mine that ceased operations in 1971. Reflecting the legacy of Johannesburg’s golden past, the park is themed around the 1886 gold rush of the Witwatersrand. With beautifully preserved architecture and staff dressed in period costume, the park brings the era to life, creating an immersive and educational experience that captures the spirit of a bygone time.
Beyond its historical charm, Gold Reef City is also a paradise for thrill-seekers. The park boasts a variety of exhilarating rides, including the heart-pounding Anaconda rollercoaster a favorite among adrenaline junkies. Whether you're interested in exploring the city’s mining roots or looking for an action-packed day of fun, this destination offers a perfect blend of history and excitement for all ages.

Let your inner child have some fun 🤩 GRC is still one of the most magical places in Gauteng! Be sure to do the Mine tour as it really is a trip down Johannesburg’s history. The park is always busy, so make sure that you arrive early. Well done GRC! Queue jumping is not allowed and severely dealt with - Offenders are be escorted out of the park with no refund. We made use of their group booking and received our tickets at R200 a ticket. Tip: The park’s restaurants and fast food stops are hectic busy. But the Wimpy just inside the main train station has been fast and friendly with their service, every time I visited.
Gold reef city theme park is a great outing for kids and adults alike. Tickets are only available online and you have to arrive at the park and stand in a queue to collect the wrist bands for the day. (NOTE: Security does ask that only 1 person from a group stand in the queue, so please make sure that the kiddies are close by or are with a responsible adult). Depending on how busy it is, this can be a bit of a pain. So you can walk in and out of the park all day. There are maps scattered throughout the park and it is relatively easy to find your way around. Wear good walking shoes. Everything is well spaced out. The park caters for a little kiddies as well as the older kids. There are lots of fast paced rides to cater for everyone's type of adrenaline addiction. From aerial rollercoasters to dropping water rides. There is something for everyone. Queues for popular attractions like the Storm Chaser or Anaconda can be very long due to its popularity. There are no food or drinks allowed to be brought in. Remember the bag checks at the entrance. Everything has to be purchased on the premise at an egregiously inflated price. The price of a coke varies from shop to shop. There are various restaurants on site allowing a wide selection of food. Restaurants do get very full around lunch time and finding a place with a short queue or an open table can be a arduous task. Overall it is fun day out for familys and groups of friends. The park does close at 5 and the vehicle exit queues will take a while to clear. Rather take your time in the park to chill or walk around having ice cream.😜
I wholeheartedly recommend this park for families and couples alike. There’s a dedicated kids’ zone plus proper thrill rides for adrenaline lovers. It also doubles as a great event venue with handsome function rooms, so it works for both a fun day out and special occasions.
It was a fantastic day. They should make like 2, 3 days a week for school trips. The lines are crazy long. They should put on the website what rides are not working. The ride is love the most was not in order
Gold Reef City Theme Park is perfect for Everyone! I wholeheartedly recommend this park for both families and couples.

Beyond the fantastic rides and attractions, Gold Reef City also serves as an excellent event venue, offering beautiful rooms for booking. This makes it a versatile destination, whether you're looking for a fun day out or a special place to host an event.
