Activities in Century City

The MTN ScienCentre at Canal Walk is an interactive science museum aimed at children. The idea is that kids can have fun while learning basic scientific and technological concepts. There are over 280 displays, computer rooms, labs, etc.

Intaka Island is a 16 hectare bird sanctuary in the heart of Century City (near Canal Walk) and is home to 120 species of birds (70 are seen regularly) and 177 species of indigenous plants. Most of the birds are (predictably) waterbirds

Canal Walk is a massive (was the biggest in Africa when it opened) shopping centre outside of Cape Town. It was completed in 2000 and is actually pretty nicely done as far as malls go. The finishes are good, the place is well run and kept clean. There is also stacks of parking and it is affordable, unlike the Waterfront!

Sable Square is a fairly new Outlet Mall - basically a grouping of factory shops selling excess stock at reduced prices. Most articles about Sable Square quote an average 30% reduction in pricing on stock sold in the factory shops for major brands. The catch is that the stock is excess and normally from lines that have already ended.
