How Much Is the Entrance Fee at Gold Reef City for Students & Pensioners?

If you’re planning a visit to Gold Reef City Theme Park and wondering whether students or pensioners pay less, here’s what the official pricing currently shows.

Current Theme Park entrance fee (students & pensioners included)

Gold Reef City Theme Park currently uses a “one price, fits all” ticket model:

• General Admission: R295 per person (covers access to rides/attractions, subject to height/safety restrictions). (Gold Reef City)

Important: On the official “Prices & Tickets” page, Gold Reef City describes this as a single price per person, and the online ticket store lists General Admission at R295pp (with no separate student or pensioner ticket category shown). (Gold Reef City)

So do students and pensioners get a discount?

Based on the official Theme Park pricing pages and ticket store, students and pensioners pay the same standard Theme Park admission price: R295 per person, unless they qualify for another discount type (like Tsogo Rewards tiers or group bookings). (Gold Reef City)

Where you can save (official discount options)

1) Tsogo Rewards cardholder ticket pricing

Gold Reef City lists discounted ticket prices for Tsogo Rewards tiers (examples shown on the official pricing page):

• 10 Tier: R266pp
• J Tier: R251pp
• Q Tier: R236pp
• K Tier: R148pp
• A Tier: R74pp (Gold Reef City)

2) Group booking rates

Official group pricing starts at:

• 1–50 people: R295pp
• 51–200 people: R280pp
• 201–700 people: R260pp
  (and other tiers beyond that). (Gold Reef City)

Booking requirement (very important)

Gold Reef City states that Theme Park tickets are online-only (not sold at the Theme Park entrance), and if you haven’t pre-booked online you may be denied entry. (Gold Reef City)

Free entry rule you should know (applies to everyone)

• Children under 3 enter free (per the official ticket store). ([themeparktickets.goldreefcity.co.za][3])
• Gold Reef City also advertises free Theme Park entry on your birthday for the birthday person with valid original ID, but that’s separate from student/pensioner pricing. (Gold Reef City)

Parking note (what the official pages say)

• The official Theme Park “Prices & Tickets” table lists Parking: Free under Theme Park bookings. (Gold Reef City)
• The main Gold Reef City site also lists a parking fee for non-cardholders (R20) and R10 for Ten Tier, with higher tiers getting free parking—this appears under general precinct parking information. (Gold Reef City)

Because these statements appear on different official pages, treat parking as dependent on the parking area/benefit (Theme Park vs precinct/undercover parking). (Gold Reef City)

Bottom line

Students and pensioners currently pay R295 per person to enter Gold Reef City Theme Park, based on the official “one price” ticket policy and the official online ticket store. (Gold Reef City)
