If you think Sun City is boring in winter, think again! There’s so much to do in this beautiful spot that doesn’t involve water and slides.
The North West Province’s mild, dry winter climate means Sun City can a host a number of exciting outdoor events and activities. The drier season even makes it easier to spot the Big Five and other animals at the next door Pilanesberg National Park.
“Our events team has planned an action-packed SunFest calendar filled with fun activities to keep our guests of all ages entertained. They can expect great value for money deals at our hotels and the restaurant and leisure facilities run by our concessionaires. You are sure to love every moment of this winter at Sun City,” said Sun City General Manager Brett Hoppé.
Your ultimate winter escape awaits! Sun City has some great accommodation packages available right now (and you can even win back an upgraded stay) – don’t miss out!
Events coming up:
Get involved with the fun at South Africa’s largest inflatable village, on the Cabanas lawns from June 17 to 30. With giant slides, jumping castles, obstacles and competitive games like soccer and volleyball, kids and teens are in for non-stop excitement and action.
From June 21 to 23, the Minions take over Sun City ahead of the launch of Despicable Me 4 on the big screen at Sun Movies. Come and meet Gru and Mel and book your picnic spot on the Cabana lawns on June 22, at R150 per person.
American singer-songwriter Johnny Gill will bring the heat to the Sun City Superbowl on June 21, with a dress code of red and black. The Grammy Award nominated artist is sure to set the mood with hits such as My, My My, Rub You the Right Way and Fairweather Friend. Tickets are available through Webtickets.
While June is a busy month, July is also heating up – watch the space for further updates but for now the main attraction is Treffers happening on July 20 in the Superbowl. Translated as hits, catch the performance featuring the legendary Chris Steyn, Samantha Leonard, Demi Lee Moore, and Kurt Darren for R350 per person, or get premium tickets for R700, including a three-course feast.
