Families can now explore one of South Africa\u2019s most powerful historical landmarks for less, as Robben Island Museum launches its new NextGen Heritage Free Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative will allow South African children under the age of 15 to visit the museum free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult from Monday 1 June to Friday 30 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A South African adult ticket costs R400, while the free entry applies to one child per paying adult. Additional children will pay the standard child rate of R210 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum said in a press statement that the campaign is aimed at making heritage exploration more accessible to families while encouraging young South Africans to engage with the country\u2019s history and democratic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the island can take part in immersive guided tours led by former political prisoners, offering first-hand insight into one of the country\u2019s most significant heritage sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the museum, the initiative forms part of its broader objective to educate children and promote intergenerational engagement with South Africa\u2019s living heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also hopes the campaign will inspire curiosity, reflection and a deeper sense of shared history among families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NextGen Heritage Free Pass is valid for daily tour slots at 09:00, 11:00 and 13:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookings can be made through Robben Island Museum\u2019s official website<\/a> or directly at the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island at the V&A Waterfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum has encouraged families to make use of the initiative during the winter and spring months, describing the experience as both educational and meaningful for children and adults alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
