Our Work

Our mission is to help create engaged citizens and healthy communities by inviting all visitors to discover new worlds, to wonder, to ask questions, and to imagine a better future through interactive, hands-on exhibits, programming and play.

Play Africa

We are creating a major public play and learning space in Johannesburg for children, families and the greater community to come together to play, learn and dream.

Play Africa Prototyping Today

We are currently based at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg  where we are testing our exciting and original hands-on exhibits and programmes with children, families and schools.

Play Africa Partnerships

Together with partners in the community we are creating a treasured institution and regional resource in South Africa.

Play Africa believes in the future of South Africa

Play Africa is a bold, exciting and ground-breaking project in post-apartheid South Africa.
In collaboration with a diverse array of partners, we seek to transform the landscape of the city of Johannesburg for children and families.

Play Africa empowers thousands of children, families and educators to:

Our vision is an equitable South African society that honours all children and champions every child’s right to play and discover

We need your help to provide our children with the play environments and learning tools they need and deserve.
