If you opt for family accommodation in the city centre, compulsory sight-seeing trips include the Aquarium at the V & A Waterfront, the Planetarium and Museum in the Cape Town city centre, and of course a cable car trip up Table Mountain. If you've chosen a hotel or guest house further out towards Simon's Town, be sure to visit the Scratch Patch, the Simon's Town Museum and the statue of Just Nuisance. North of Cape Town, a day of adventure and wild rides can be had at Ratanga Junction, while excursions out towards the Stellenbosch and the Winelands will take you to Butterfly World, the cheetah breeding centre at Spier and many more enjoyable family activities.
