Was very confused reading the “ terrible” reviews of cool runnings as our experience was fabulous!
Can only assume that the new manager at Cool Runnings ( he joined three months ago) has made a huge difference or maybe it makes a big difference if you avoid peak times ?
We arrived as they opened at 9am and found all the staff to be friendly and helpful and welcoming
We were impressed with safety standards with Marshall’s in place all along the track with walkie talkies and good communication with each other
We purchased a family bundle of 18 rides for 450 rand split between our family of 4 and had great fun !
Our 12 year old twins were begging for more rides once the 18 tokens were used up so we bought another 18 and it started to rain lightly and the track was closed ! Very impressed with the attention to safety closing the track but obviously the kids were disappointed ! And as they have a no refunds policy we were now stuck with 18 tokens and were leaving Cape Town as our holiday was nearly over so no chance to comeback another day ...
The manager was very helpful .... he printed off an hour by hour weather report and suggested that the rain may clear within an hour and a half so we bought some French fries and drinks and decided to wait
He kept us informed and updated and we watched staff continually check the track for safety and travel down it with towels trying to dry it for disappointed visitors
After one hour and three runs of four staff with towels drying the track it was re opened and our kids used the 18 tokens and had a great time ....

We went to visit Cool Runnings one Sunday afternoon. My kids were a little nervous at first as you don't really know what to expect. All that changes once you have had your first ride. It was such a lot of fun and my kids are still asking to go back again. A great outing.

We had a very fun day at cool runnings. They have a little shop for take aways and nice area in the shade to sit and relax. Just felt that the space were not enough for the amount of people attending and you wait in long lines to get to a ride. But really a good days outing with family and friends. even for the youngters and small children. Our experience with them was really very good. you just pay for your rides you dont pay to enter

Great family entertainment. It is better to get there early to avoid the long queue and the hot sun!
