Things to do in Johannesburg for Father’s Day

Carnival City and Entertainment World is hosting a great Father's Day lunch event this Sunday. 

Dads will be pampered with delicious food, gifts and a welcoming drink. What's cool about the event is that children are welcome, ensuring that dad doesn't have to spend the day alone. Children aged 4-12 pay only R200 per meal. 

Carnival City and Entertainment World is loved for its vibrancy. The entertainment venue has stunning interio, ideal for taking Instagram worthy photos with dad. 

The venue also has varied selection of eateries which sell traditional to international dishes. 

You can also seal the night with a movie at one of the cinemas at the venue. 

A way to a man's heart is through the stomach, so why not spoil dad with delicious lunch at Grande View Prime View Adventure and Leisure in Midrand this Father's Day? 

For only R185, dad will enjoy 500g T-Bone steak with fried egg and chips. The lunch is from 11:00 - 18:00. 

If T-bone is not dad's favourite, you can also spoil him with other variety of meals served at the restaurant. 

The venue has several eateries and a large area for chilling while overlooking a dam. Dad can bond with loved ones while admiring the beautiful outdoor setting.  

After eating lunch, dad can go fishing on the premises while the little ones get entertained at the large kids' play area.  

Quinch the thirst with non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available at the restaurant. 

The venue also hires a live DJ from time to time, so prepare for surprises. 

Give dad an experience of a lifetime by heading to the Kyalami Equestrian Park for a stargazing event. The stargazing is done in a secure, quite, dark park. 

Let dad connect with nature while looking at the stars. 

The laser-guided sky tour will include seeing the Orion’s Belt. 

According to Quicket, the event will feature a laser-guided sky tour and a turn at our powerful telescopes as attendees explore:

The mighty Jupiter, and hopefully a few of its moons
The Moon’s incredible craters and surface detail (after 9pm)
The warm, steady glow of Mars
Orion’s Belt and other deep-sky surprises you never knew were out there!

This is definitely a nice and unique gift for dad!
