Gold Reef City Museum Ticket Prices & Entrance Fees
If you’re visiting Gold Reef City mainly for the heritage / “museum” side (like the Crush Museum, Train Museum & Bullion Coach, Heritage Houses, Science Exploratory, and gold-history experiences), the key thing to know is that these attractions sit inside the Gold Reef City Theme Park precinct and are typically accessed via Theme Park tickets. (Gold Reef City)
Current entrance fee (standard public ticket)
Gold Reef City Theme Park – General Admission
- R295 per person (general admission). (Gold Reef City)
- Tickets must be booked online (not sold at the Theme Park entrance). (Gold Reef City)
This general admission ticket is the “main” price most visitors use—and it’s the price that effectively covers your access to the on-site heritage/museum-style attractions inside the park. (Gold Reef City)
What “museum access” includes (inside the park)
Gold Reef City’s heritage/museum-type attractions shown on official park materials and ride/attraction listings include:
- Crush Museum (Gold Reef City)
- Train Museum & Bullion Coach (Gold Reef City)
- Heritage Houses, Science Exploratory, Gold Panning (listed among non-ride attractions / park items) (Gold Reef City)
A ticketing info page used for Gold Reef City Theme Park notes that “Non Rider” tickets include access to several of these museum-style attractions (Crush Museum, Train Museum & Bullion Coach, Heritage Houses, Science Exploratory, Gold Panning, etc.). (Computicket)
(Gold Reef City’s own pricing page currently markets a “one price” general admission approach for visitors, so the simplest up-to-date pricing to rely on is the official R295 general admission ticket.) (Gold Reef City)

Mine tour note (often bundled with “heritage” visits)
Gold Reef City sells a Theme Park + Mine Tour type package via its official ticketing system, and notes a key restriction:
- No children under age 4 allowed on a Mine Tour. ([Gold Reef City Theme Park Tickets][7])
(Availability and pricing for Mine Tour packages can vary by date/time in the booking flow, so the most reliable way to confirm the exact amount for your visit date is the official booking engine.) ([Gold Reef City Theme Park Tickets][7])
Important booking rules (so you don’t get stuck at the gate)
- Gold Reef City states Theme Park tickets are only available online and not sold at the entrance. (Gold Reef City)
- The official booking engine shows the General Admission ticket and its price (R295pp). ([Gold Reef City Theme Park Tickets][6])
Parking (don’t assume it’s always free)
Gold Reef City’s main site publishes parking information indicating a R20 parking fee for non-cardholders and R10 for Ten Tier cardholders (with other tiers having free parking listed as a benefit). (Gold Reef City)
Because parking policies can differ by area/benefit tier, it’s safest to budget for parking unless your tier explicitly includes it. (Gold Reef City)
