Comic Con Cape Town is set to captivate families with the launch of KidsCon, a vibrant and interactive zone designed exclusively for children, from 27 April to 1 May at CTICC 2. This new addition aims to provide a family-friendly experience within the larger comic con event, offering a myriad of activities that celebrate the spirit of play and imagination.
KidsCon, first introduced at Comic Con Africa in Johannesburg in 2019, has rapidly become a cherished feature, known for blending entertainment with an unforgettable atmosphere. Its introduction to Comic Con Cape Town is eagerly anticipated, promising to extend its unique blend of fun and creativity to a new audience.
The event has also announced a significant partnership with the renowned toy retailer, Toys “R” Us, which will serve as the presenting partner for KidsCon. This collaboration is expected to enhance the experience with a retail section within the KidsCon area, offering a selection of top-tier toys from beloved brands, catering to both children and adult collectors.
One of the key advantages of KidsCon is its integration within the Comic Con Cape Town floor, allowing attendees to access this child-centric paradise without the need for separate admission. Furthermore, the event maintains a family-friendly policy, offering free entry to children aged 5 and under.
The lineup for KidsCon 2024 is set to impress, with a variety of activities tailored for younger fans, featuring an array of toys and collector items. The event will also spotlight gaming and technology, providing an engaging platform for children to explore video games and the latest tech innovations in a fun, educational setting. Additionally, KidsCon will host tabletop gaming sessions and casual cosplay competitions, encouraging creativity and strategic thinking.
Carla Massmann, Show Director for Comic Con Cape Town, expressed enthusiasm for bringing KidsCon to the city, envisioning it as an integral part of making the event an unparalleled family outing. With its diverse range of activities and the backing of a leading toy retailer, KidsCon is poised to offer a memorable experience that ignites the imaginations of young attendees and fosters a sense of community among fans of all ages.
