Children’s Activities + fun family adventures at Acrobranch Johannesburg

During your Jozi play park visit, you and your kids can swing through trees, dangling from branches and balancing in the air. All while taking into consideration every parent’s fear of safety by tucking the kids safely into snug harnesses, hooked into secure lines all through the course as you encounter numerous obstacles as well as fun-filled zip lines, all facilitated by a dedicated guide. Acrobranch is an exciting aerial adventure where zip lines, Tarzan swings, nets, bridges and other fun obstacles take children and adults from tree to tree.
