The JoziKids weekend brief

5 things to do with kids, every Thursday.

Handpicked by Jozi parents — the best classes, pop-ups and day trips for the coming weekend. 50,000+ subscribers. No spam.

Farm outings are the reliable Gauteng weekend option for under-eights, and most sit within 30 to 45 minutes of the northern suburbs along the Midrand and Muldersdrift corridors. Entry is typically pay-at-the-gate per person with under-twos free, and extras like pony rides, tractor trips and animal feed are charged separately — budget roughly double the gate fee if your child wants to do everything. Weekday mornings are markedly quieter than weekends. Many farms also run holiday camps and host birthday parties, which is easy to miss if you only look at the visiting information. Check whether picnics are allowed, as some farms restrict outside food to protect their café.
