Polkadraai Strawberry Farm

I recently paid a visit to the Polkadraai Strawberry Farm, because it is very close to where I live. I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few additions and activities on offer, especially things to do for kids. They now have an 18 hole mini golf course that the kids and you can enjoy. The course takes about 45 minutes to complete and costs R30 to enter. I also noticed pony rides on offer that take the kids on a short ride around their enclosure. 
The farm also provides tractor rides and a wonderful play area with jungle gym where the kids can have fun. The actual Strawberry picking is also great fun; the costs are from R35 to R190 depending on the size of the bucket you choose. The season is usually from September to January every day from 9 am to 4 pm.

I would advise plenty of sunscreen and a hat as you will be in the sun a lot of the time. There is a covered area with tables and seating where you can enjoy something to eat and drink. A wonderful food shop provides all kind of yummy thing to purchase and take home with you. A fun day will be had by all, if you visit the Polkadraai Strawberry Farm, with all they have to offer.

World of Adventure Route 44 Market

This is a fun park that is located between Somerset West and Stellenbosch at the Route 44 Market. This is definitely a family friendly venue with grass areas for picnics and plenty of food available at their stalls for hungry tummies. They have quite a selection of activities available which include a zip line, mini golf, paddle cars and of course a jungle gym. These activities are mainly designed for kids ages 3-12.  They also provide a venue to host birthday parties, which look like loads of fun.
