The Gold Reef City complex is built on the site of an old gold mine, and visitors can still descend into the pits and see how the precious metal is extracted. Those in search of their own windfall should head for the casino, where roulette, baccarat, black jack as well as slot machines are on offer round the clock. First time flutterers and hardened high rollers are well catered for.
The theme park component of Gold Reef City offers thrills for all ages, with rides including the Anacaonda, the Tower of Terror and a roller coaster which provides a great view towards central Johannesburg on its exhilarating journey.
Gold Reef City Theme Park and Casino is in Johannesburg’s south, and can be reached from the center of the city along the Villiers Graaff Motorway. Combine your visit with a tour of the adjacent Apartheid Museum for a fascinating contrast.
