Its nearly time for the first Ice Age exhibition in Gauteng
It is nearly time for the new and exciting Ice Age exhibition taking place at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The Ice Age exhibition – presented by Huisgenoot, YOU and DRUM – opens its doors to Johannesburg audiences at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday, 20 June at 9:00.
The exhibition will offer visitors a peek into the history of Earth and allow them to travel to a world of fascinating creatures that walked the Earth more than 20 000 years ago. Guests can see carefully crafted, easy-to-understand pieces come to life in an educational, interactive display. Expect to see colossal mammoths, a life-size woolly rhino, sabre-toothed cat and many other beasts, all built to scale.
Showcasing more than 45 moving life-size animals distributed across 12 scenes, and 11 smaller models in the interactive play area, the habitats within the exhibition are covered in 14 m3 of shredded foam to create a “snowy” effect. The addition of two exciting interactive activities for young explorers – two slides (a 25-m snow slide and a longer, 37-m ice slide) and a 12-m Snow Blizzard Tunnel with actual snow and wind – are sure to make the 3 000 m2 display one to remember this winter! Rides on the slide will be at an additional cost, but the tunnel experience is included in the ticket price.
Edmund Beukes, marketing manager of Media24 Weekly Magazines, which is bringing the exhibition to South Africa, says: “Visitors will be amazed and enthralled by our ‘cold’ and ‘icy’ world and top-notch entertainment zone, making them feel as if they’re passing through an authentic ice-age landscape.”
The exhibition will be open for seven weeks only with no further extensions. Visitors are encouraged to book their tickets early to avoid disappointment. Bookings can be made via Computicket at www.computicket.com.
