Fun Things to do in Vereeniging
Vereeniging, bestowed with the cool, refreshing water of the Vaal dam and river, is naturally the best place for fun in the sun.
As we say in South African lingo “It’s lekker by the dam!” Vaal Adventurers and Tapimanzi Adventures in Vereeniging offers river rafting, white-water rafting, kayaking, paintball, quad biking, snorkeling, fishing trips, tubing and Bungee jumping. An 55m high bungee jump for the thrill-seeking junkie, Snorkelling for Bass and Kurper.
Non swimmers are welcome to snorkel in life jackets. Snorkeling is a family activity. A guide will
accompany you at all times. Maccauvlei golf course loves new visitors. Marievale bird sanctuary and Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve are not too far away for a hike or a bit of bird watching.to do for any type of holiday maker; From culture vulture, shopaholic, historian, pacifist to a thrill seeker.Here you will find something stimulating
It’s lekker by the dam!
Rich in history, museum and memorials. Sharpeville will surface at history of a massacre that shocked us and rightly tattooed human rights day into our minds. Maccauvlei farm is a coal rich farm and in history played its part as a Boere concentration camp and memorial to dead Canadian soldiers. One can visit the Vaal Teknorama which exhibits the industrial development in the Vaal. Klip River terrace and the rock engravings at Redan are heritage sites of international value. Klip River terrace keeps remnants of the stone age.
“rightly tattooed human rights day into our minds”
One of twelve in the Country. The top-class Barnyard Theatre in Vereeniging not only presents musicals and comedy in a relaxed, rustic atmosphere, but live, local celebrity bands too. It gets better; the theatre is set in a wooden barn, with an in-house bistro and bar.
The Vereeniging drive-in. Closed in winter but a definite classic favourite in summer.
Yet another venue with an array of play by day-and-night activities is the Emerald resort and casino. Emerald Resort and Casino are a mere 25 minutes away from Vereeniging. This ia an all in one leisure and pleasure hub for the whole family. It houses a casino, health and beauty spa, animal world and an Aqua dome.
Vereeniging, is an all in one leisure and pleasure hub
The Aqua dome is an indoor, climate controlled swimming arena; baby pool, lazy river, main pool, gladiator pool and white water pool with water slide to boot. A life guard is permanently on duty for safety. Its open Sunday to Thursday, from 10:00 to 18:00, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00. If that doesn’t hold your attention for long don’t despair the dam of activities hasn’t dried up yet. Have your way with ten pin bowling.
