. From 26 June to 9 July 2026, families, thrill-seekers and holiday adventurers can climb, crawl, bounce and conquer their way through the giant obstacle course right in the heart of one of Gauteng’s biggest and best-loved shopping destinations.
This is not just a market visit or a weekend browse — it is a full-day adventure experience that turns a trip to the mall into something the whole family will be talking about for weeks.
What Is The Gauntlet at Fourways Mall?
The Gauntlet is a giant inflatable obstacle course that challenges participants of all ages to tackle a series of physical obstacles: climbing walls, crawling tunnels, balance challenges, bounce sections and more. It is designed to be fun, energetic and slightly ridiculous — the perfect combination for school holiday entertainment. The indoor Fourways Mall setting means the experience is fully protected from the elements, making it an ideal rainy-day or sunny-day activity regardless of the weather outside.
The Gauntlet at Fourways Mall brings together physical fun and family adventure in a uniquely accessible format. Whether you are a parent looking for something that will genuinely wear out your children, a group of friends seeking a new challenge, or a birthday party planner searching for an experience everyone will enjoy, this is it.
Family-Friendly Fun for All Ages
The Gauntlet at Fourways Mall welcomes participants aged 4 years and older, making it one of the most inclusive active entertainment options in Gauteng this school holiday. For the youngest visitors, special Toddler Run sessions provide a dedicated, age-appropriate experience where toddlers can tackle the course with an accompanying parent or adult.
Older children and adults tackle the full Gauntlet challenge, creating a multi-generational activity that works for the entire family regardless of age.
Make It a Full Day Out at Fourways Mall
One of the greatest advantages of The Gauntlet at Fourways Mall is that it sits at the centre of an already phenomenal entertainment destination. After conquering the obstacle course, families can grab something to eat at any of Fourways Mall’s excellent restaurants, catch a movie at Ster-Kinekor, explore the full holiday entertainment line-up including Bounce and Total Ninja, or simply enjoy a relaxed shopping trip.
Fourways Mall’s extensive food court and restaurant selection means there is no need to plan meals separately — the entire day flows naturally from one experience to the next.
