South Africa’s largest inflatable obstacle course brings a bouncy blast to Fourways Mall this winter break. From 26 June to 9 July 2026, The Gauntlet is taking over the mall’s centre court and transforming it into a giant inflatable park, offering the family a fun and friendly challenge to keep busy and active over the school holidays.
Bounce away through the school holidays
At over 1000 sqm in size, The Gauntlet inflatable park is a first-of-its-kind experience for Fourways Mall, bringing bouncing, climbing, crawling, sliding and racing together in one action-packed course.
This is the kind of activity that is inspires friendly competition among siblings, friends and parents alike, offering something a little different from the typical school holiday activities, and with the added advantage of being indoors and weather-proof.
What else is on Fourways Mall’s winter holiday lineup
Fourways Mall has so much more holiday fun in store for families over the school holidays.
Families can tee off at Adventure Golf, one of Johannesburg’s most established adventure golf attractions, with three themed 9-hole courses set among waterfalls, streams, caves and landscaped gardens.
For more active play, BOUNCE offers freestyle jumping, dodgeball, slam dunk zones, obstacle challenges, Clip ’n Climb walls and a miniBOUNCE play section for younger children. Total Ninja Interactive brings together movement and digital gaming through interactive projections and sensors, while Bloc 11 offers indoor climbing and bouldering with classes and coaching.
Plus, check out highly anticipated kids’ franchise films Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5 at Fourways Mall Ster-Kinekor’s dedicated Kids Cinema experience. The Fun Company also offers arcade games, redemption games and 10-pin bowling, while Shooters provides a social gaming environment that is family-friendly until 6pm.
With so many options under one roof, families can combine The Gauntlet with lunch, a movie, bowling, go-karting, climbing or arcade games to create a full school holiday outing.
