Visitors can also tuck into an early dinner at the Shoreline Café, while kids expend extra energy at the I&J Children’s Play Centre.

Kids are also welcome to take part in arts and crafts and watch puppet shows at the AfriSam Children’s Centre, or get a shimmering temporary tattoo at the Glimmer Tattoo booth.
