This weekend · 17–18 October 2026

Three ways to use the weekend.

One indoor plan, one that depends on the weather, and one to do with other people. These are CTIA suggestions. Check the operator before you go.

Indoor anchor

Two Oceans Aquarium

Build the day around the aquarium, then leave the rest of the Waterfront loose. Children under 14 need an adult with them.

Skip if the weather turns

Table Mountain Cableway

The cable car can close in bad weather. Check the operator’s live status before you travel, and keep the aquarium as the backup.

A plan with other people

HintHunt

An indoor escape room at the Waterfront if you want one shared challenge. Confirm the game’s age guidance and session before you book.
