Kids’ Zone (Hall 8): daily stage shows and family experiences – included in the ticket. Hall 8 is bigger and better, featuring:
- Jungle Magic: a larger-than-life sensory jungle world that transforms a hall into an immersive experience filled with bold colour, jungle soundscapes, giant feature creatures, an indoor waterfall moment and a brave zone for curious kids.
- Dienkie and Doodles: one show daily.
- Freddy the Frog and Ivy’s Wild Adventure: two shows daily.
- Play zones, interactive learning areas, parent lounges, trampoline fun, plus the headline new experience: the Tech and Gaming Arena.
This year, the promise goes beyond fun. Alongside headline entertainment, the Rand Show is opening the future by giving all South Africans a space to learn, explore and be exposed to the role of technology and gaming in everyday life, education and opportunity.
The new Tech and Gaming Arena is designed not only to entertain, but also to educate, inspire curiosity, and introduce future-ready skills in a way that is accessible to families, learners, parents, and young adults. From robotics, coding, and the logic behind programming demos to structured school tournaments, strategy, and digital literacy, to sessions on study and career pathways and free play sessions.
In short, this is entertainment with purpose – a zone designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and expose all visitors to the technology shaping modern life.
