Gold, gold, gold ... These small grains cause an insane gleam in the eyes and make you rush. This happened in America, and Africa, more specifically in Johannesburg. The first deposits were found here in the XIX century. Since then, the city has changed dramatically. How? You can see it in the Gold Reef City Theme Park.

Two, three, four, if not five in one. Gold Reef City is an open-air museum, an amusement park, an educational and dance venue, a casino, and much more. The park is located very close to the city center. It is a must-visit place for any tourist in Johannesburg because this is what characterizes the city, a turning point in its history.

A glint in the eyes, an excitement that makes your palms sweat. Of course, it is just a tour of the old mines, but who knows? Maybe luck has a good day today, and it decides to throw you a few grams of gold.

The city was built around these mines. Gold mining is hard work. Miners liked to relax in pubs, cafes, and then go to bed so that in the morning they could try to hit the jackpot. The atmosphere of that time, the period of the «gold rush» is stunningly conveyed here: restaurants, homes of wealthy gold miners and poor residents, bars.

Passing through the reconstructed settlement of miners, you will hear music, and after a while, you will see equally strange dances. Many years ago, to distract themselves from their work, miners began to dance without taking off their uniforms. This is how the "dance in rubber boots" appeared. A dance master class is included in the program of visiting the park.

Emotions are running high here, gold and wealth are so close. The rides can help you unwind. The tower of horrors 50 meters high is especially popular. The most frightening and interesting attraction is falling from a height. The speed reaches 100 km/h.
