The rotating cable car to the summit of Table Mountain is one of Cape Town’s unmissable experiences and kids who are steady on their feet will love exploring the flat summit plateau. Adult tickets run approximately R490 return and children R245 (roughly USD $27 and $14); book online in advance as walk-up queues can be 90+ minutes in peak season. The mountain is famously weather-dependent — check the flag on the cable station from the city: if it is flying, the mountain is open. The summit terrain is rocky and uneven so strollers are impractical at the top, but the lower station has good facilities. Kids under 6 may find the open summit exposed and windy; age 8 and up get the most from it.
