 The festive season is a time for laughter and family fun, and there is no better place than the Ice Slide Wonderland at Canal Walk to end 2014 on a high note.

From December 5 to January 11, from 10am to 10pm, the Centre Court at Canal Walk will be transformed into an icy playground for everyone from tiny tots to daring thrill-seekers.

Everyone has fond festive season memories of having their picture taken with Santa, and this year is no different. Santa will be found on his sleigh alongside the Ice Slide Wonderland ready to hear all the items on every child’s Christmas present wishlist.

The Canal Walk Express train will also be inoperation on the upper level. At just R10 a ticket from the train staff, a train ride is an affordable treat.

Christmas is a time for giving, so why not give a little extra this year? If you take advantage of the gift wrapping service at the Pick n Pay and Checkers Courts, the small fee for each exquisite parcel goes straight back to the community, thanks to the charitable Hyprop Foundation where the funds raised will be donated to Reach for a Dream.

The wrapping service will be available daily from December 12 – 23, from 10am to 10pm. For those last minute shoppers, the final parcel will be wrapped at 9pm on Christmas Eve.
