Fun rainy day indoor activities to do with the kids in Ballito

Posted on Wed September 25, 2024.

Family holidays by the beach are often filled with sunshine and sandcastle-building, but when the weather doesn't cooperate, keeping the kids entertained can be a challenge.

Luckily, Ballito and its surrounds offer a variety of indoor activities that will keep children busy and parents happy, ensuring that rainy days don’t dampen the holiday spirit. Here's a list of exciting things to do with kids when the weather isn’t ideal during your stay at Beachfront Apartments.

1. Sugar Rush Park – Indoor Jump Park

This is the perfect place to let the kids burn off some energy! The indoor jump park at Sugar Rush Park is filled with trampolines, foam pits, and obstacle courses that guarantee hours of fun. It’s suitable for kids of all ages, and there’s a café on-site for parents to relax while the little ones bounce away.

2. Sage Centre – Cupcake Decorating

If your kids enjoy getting creative (and a little messy), then cupcake decorating at Sage Centre is a must. Guests of Beachfront Apartments have raved about this hands-on activity, where kids can decorate cupcakes with all sorts of colourful icing and sprinkles. Plus, they get to enjoy their sweet creations afterwards!

3. The Pottery @ Ballito – Ceramic Painting

For a more laid-back activity, take the kids to The Pottery @ Ballito. Here, they can choose a ceramic item, from plates to mugs, and let their imaginations run wild with paint. It’s a great way to spend a few quiet hours and the finished pottery piece makes for a wonderful holiday keepsake.

4. Ballito Farmers Market

If you’re looking for a blend of indoor and outdoor activities, the Ballito Farmers Market is a good option. The market often features live entertainment, delicious treats, small craft stalls and a fun play space that will engage and entertain the kids while you stroll and sample the local produce.

5. Ace Karting

Let the kids get competitive with some indoor go-kart racing at Ace Karting. This high-energy activity is sure to get the adrenaline pumping, and it’s a thrilling way to spend an afternoon. With karts available for different age groups, it’s fun for both kids and parents!

6. Flag Animal Farm

A short drive from Ballito, Flag Farm is an exciting destination for animal-loving kids. They’ll have the chance to interact with a variety of farm animals and even get to feed some of them. It’s both educational and fun – perfect for a drizzly day when outdoor beach time isn’t an option.

7. The Hidden Forest Wildlife Sanctuary

For nature lovers, The Hidden Forest Wildlife Sanctuary offers an educational experience indoors. Kids can learn about local wildlife, explore exhibits and even enjoy some interactive animal experiences. It’s a fantastic opportunity for curious little minds.

8. Ballito Junction – Movies & Arcade Centre

When all else fails, you can never go wrong with a movie day. Ballito Junction offers a range of family-friendly movies at the cinema. After the movie, head to the arcade centre for some old-school gaming fun – it’s a hit for kids of all ages!
