What a hidden gem. Took my grandchildren there during the school holidays. It is totally free and offers a library, a craft room with so many bits and bobs to keep little people very busy. A lovely outdoor play area. There is also a Lego room and some interesting facts about Red Cross Children's Hospital. A really worthwhile visit

Our girls had a blast! Even my husband and I had an enjoyable time and not having to worry about breaking the bank is definitely a plus.

A Hidden Gem for Kids – and It's Free! What a wonderful museum for children! It’s the perfect mix of education and fun. There are engaging, informative stations that spark curiosity, plus a great selection of toys and an awesome craft area that kept the kids entertained. I’m still amazed that admission is completely free. Highly recommended.

This was excellent. 18 Dec 2024. I had the opportunity of teaching the children jewelery making as part off an outreach to young children in conjunction with Dr Hayley Roberts post doctoral fellow of UCT an expert on bead making and it's history. Here are some of the pics of the jewelery and bead making workshop. There is no cost involved just a fun way of children learning.

What a pleasant surprise. Our littles had so much fun exploring, learning, reading books and doing crafts in a comfortable, neat and stimulating setting. Interesting for the parents too. Definitely recommend to families looking to keep the kids busy.
