Who living in Port Elizabeth can say that they have never been to Happy Valley? Probably not many. Some people (like myself) went there as kids and now take their kids. I love going to Happy Valley. It is a wonderland of colourful lights and kids story and rhyme characters. Happy Valley is situated on the beachfront just off Humewood Beach. It truly is a Port Elizabeth institution.

What a beautiful place! I love it! Had heard of Happy Valley before when visiting the in-laws, but have never seen it! Worth the visit if we’re in PE for Christmas next year!

I rember going there every single year as kids, and even as students we used to go every December. My brother and I adored it, and I had kind of assumed that it had fallen into disuse and disrepair – but I’m thrilled to see it hasn’t!

Brings back such lovely times… Its been close on 10 yrs i have not been able to soak my feet in the sand of Hobie beach. i remember Happy Valley like it was just yesterday, the day i was barefoot running uncontrollably searching for lost treasure or a animal to ride… Thank you for the memory! You have helped me to decide exactly where my next get away is… Keep up the good work.
