Rainy-day Joburg: indoor spots that save the weekend
Science, climbing, trampolines, theatre and museums for when the Highveld opens up.
When the afternoon storm rolls in, these indoor spots keep a 9- and a 15-year-old equally happy.
Hands-on science and robotics, indoor climbing and trampolines, escape rooms, the reopened planetarium, and the city's museums and theatres — all under a roof.

What can families do indoors in Joburg when it rains?
Sci-Bono (hands-on science), BOUNCE and Rush (trampolines), CityROCK (indoor climbing), escape rooms, the planetarium (Digital Dome), and the city's museums and children's theatres.
What's best for teens on a rainy day?
Indoor climbing, escape rooms, the Digital Dome's space shows, go-karting and the bigger museums (Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill) hold a teen's attention better than a soft-play centre.
