Gold Reef City Entrance Fee for Adults and Children (With Kids Policy)

If you’re planning a day at Gold Reef City Theme Park (Johannesburg), the key thing to know is that the Theme Park uses a one-price ticket model for general admission—adults and children pay the same price (with an age-based free-entry rule for very young kids). (Gold Reef City)
