If you find yourself in Cape Town on your special day, there are plenty of fantastic activities you can enjoy without spending a dime. From scenic hikes to cultural experiences, here are five free activities to celebrate your birthday in the Mother City:

Table Mountain Cable Car

Start your birthday with a morning cable car ride to watch the sunrise from table Mountain. You can use this free ride during the whole month of your birthday!

Two Oceans Aquarium

After your morning mountain moment, why don’t you head to Cape Town’s beautiful aquarium where you can enter for free and experience the local underwater life and visit the penguins. This offer is available to all South Africans on their birthday and six days after when you show your valid SA ID or Passport.

Cape Wheel

After you meander around the Aquarium it is now an ideal time to go in the Cape Wheel. It is important to remember to sign up for your free ride before your birthday and then on the day you present the Cape Wheel people with your voucher and they will let you have your free ride. You may only redeem the free ride by presenting the voucher or by showing your SA ID on your birthday.

Zeitz Mocaa

Once you have seen that incredible Cape Town skyline it is time for you to head to the Zeitz Mocaa for some free culture!. Just show the gallery your SA ID on your birthday, and you’re in. 

Sky-Hi Ride at the Sky Hotel

Time to see that sunset with a brisk adrenaline rush! Head over to the Sky-Hi ride at Hotel Sky. All you need to do is book your ticket with your ID-number as verification and you’re in for quite the ride!
