The seal show was well educated, the animals holding area well maintained. The snakes was quite active. Although some of the exhibit was under construction there were plenty to be seen..

Once you accept the fact that zoos exist and this one has been there for 65yrs you can then appreciate that this facility is very well maintained and the animals looks well cared for and in some...

Such a sad experience! The enclosures are too small and don't adequately cater for the specific species that are kept.

This place is huge and there is so much more to see here than just snakes. There are lions, leopards, jaguar, birds, monkeys, seals, hyenas. There is a few places where vegetation outside the enclosure makes it hard to see the animals inside of it. Overall really great experience and we enjoyed it as a family. Plenty of bathrooms. They also do shows twice per day. Excellent value for money

We had a wonderful time at the park . Ot was very clean and a real pleasure seeing all the animals. The enclosures was clean and the animals are well looked after. We had a much better experience than a few years ago , well-done the staff and employees...

It's an entertaining stop for the kids in Hartees. The animal enclosures are well curated and the animals are well looked after. It's not a large facility, so you can see everything in detail in less than an hour. Parking can be an issue, but there are lots of relatively friendly car guards outside that will help you park outside the bounds of the zoo. They have a mid day show with a seal and some live snakes. Make sure to take some drinks before you sit. The zoo also is the point for the water sports.

The kids and the Adults enjoyed this experience. R140 for adult and R70 kids. The animals looks happy and wel kept. You can see the whole time the personal tending to the animals wil care. You can even see a snake and sea lion show 2 times a day over weekends. We loved it.

It was a very educational experience for both the kids and the adults... the cruise was nice but very shot plus the vegetation wasn't so appealing with so much littering, I wish they could clean it up. Otherwise the experience was amazing, 🤗
