Kids ride for free during Table Mountain Cableway's Kidz Season

The 2018 Kidz Season at the Table Mountain Cableway will run from 27 April-24 September 2018. During the Kidz Season, two children under the age of 18 ride for free with every Kidz Season adult return ticket purchased.

Upon arrival, all young explorers will receive a sticker or a temporary tattoo and a Kidz Season treasure hunt map, in which they will find vouchers for free treats from the Shop at the Top and the Table Mountain Café. Older kids can download the free Voicemap app (available from the Apple App or Google Play stores) and enjoy the free Cableway audio tours. Once downloaded, these audio tours run offline and will provide insights into the New 7 Wonder of Nature.
