Discover the excitement of gem hunting at Scratch Patch in Midrand. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a bucket and step into a sparkling treasure field filled with thousands of polished semi‑precious stones.

This hands‑on activity is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike, offering both fun and relaxation as you sift through colorful stones. Children love the thrill of discovering “hidden treasures,” while adults enjoy the calming, meditative process. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to share fascinating facts about the gems, making the experience both educational and entertaining. Safe, accessible, and unforgettable, the Scratch Patch is a must‑do adventure for all ages.
