01 Action-packed museum fun! Not your ordinary museum, Gateway Theatre of Shopping’s Museum of Memories has an abundance of interactive stations for kids, teens and adults … and loads of fun! Situated at Expo Explore, the activity-based ‘museum’ recalls fun times at the mall as part of its ongoing 21st anniversary celebrations. ‘Surf’ on an inflatable wave, balance on a hanging skateboard and whizz down into a bath of balls! The grand finale is ‘Gateway to the Galaxy’, an audio-visual blast into space surrounded by visuals, including the latest images from NASA’s James Webb space telescope. The mall will have extended trading hours from December 16 to 23, 9am to 10pm (9pm on Christmas Eve), and 26 to 30 December. Details: @gatewayumhlanga, www.gatewayworld.co.za
