If you are looking for a place to go where your whole family can have a good time then Ratanga Junction Theme Park is the place for you. Just 10 minutes from Cape Towns city centre and directly off the N1, covering about 20 hectares of land with exotic subtropical flora and hair raising rides, making it a must-see destination when visiting Cape Town. With over 30 crowd drawing attractions to choose from and with a standing capacity of 7000 people for concerts and other occasions this all makes Ratanga Junction a true asset to the Western Cape.

Ratanga Junction is first and for most a theme park so the focus is on the rides of which there are over 24 to choose from. The Cobra is one of the most popular rides and definitely not for the faint hearted. You are suspended from the car, and with your feet hanging in mid-air and your heart racing you are taken for the thrill of your life to heights of 34meters at 100km per hour. But there are more family friendly rides like Crocodile Gorge. This ride will get you wet, but is worth the fun. It travels along a rapid river through a man-made gorge and under a crashed airplane. There are also plenty of food outlets to choose from to refresh your senses and cool down. And if the rides are just not for you then there is always the almost continuous live entertainment.
