If your family loves fresh air, nature, and hands-on fun, we’ve found the perfect outings. All year long you’ll find places around Cape Town where you can pick your own – from strawberries and peaches to flowers and herbs – and turn it into a memorable family outing.
Highlights You’ll Love
- Some farms offer flowers all year: think dahlias, hydrangeas, snapdragons and more.
- Others have fruit-picking seasons: cherries, apples, peaches, figs and berries.
- And plenty combine it with extra treats: wine tastings, animal petting areas, coffee shops, picnic spots.
- Great for families with kids of all ages — outdoor time, hands-on fun, and even photo ops.
