Mitchell Park Zoo

A great trip down memory lane. I last visited years ago as a little kid. Wonderful zoo nestled in the city, a variety of small animals, birds, and huge tortoises! A great visit for families and especially the kids. The park is also well kept for a nice picnic lunch. The park is free however there is a small entrance fee to enter the zoo, well worth it.

Olace is great for family or to bring your kids and it's actually bigger than I thought. There's more a variety of birds than any other animals, all of which are beautiful! It would be nice if feed was sold for giving to the animals.

The park was okish. Should actually be called mini zoo as it does not have a lot of animals. For the entry fee it's not bad to explore. Giving it 4 stars because the actual park is very nice. We'll kept and clean for picnics etc

Lovely environment for family relaxation. Well kept lawns for picnics u0026 other activities. Children can play on the grass, on slides, swings u0026 other equipment. There's a couple of animals to see at very low prices (Adults R13 u0026 Kids R11). A great place to go for outdoor activities permissible in South Africa's public parks.

A great place for a date or some time out with the kids. Entrance is pretty cheap, paid R35 for an adult and 2 kids. We had a picnic and they had a great time with the animals. You can bring in your own food or buy from the stores located inside. The park is within the vicinity as well so perfect for killing a few hours and having some quality time

Mitchell Park Zoo is a great place to take small kids for an outing. It's more of an animal sanctuary though, than a zoo. They have monkeys, turtles, llamas, a wild pig, a crocodile and some other small birds and animals but don't come here expecting to see the big 5. Entrance was fairly cheap though and my kids (ages 4 u0026 1) had a blast.

They do allow braais, but only if you bring a skottelbraai -- no open fires. You can have a great family day here if you plan to walk through the zoo, have a braai/picnic while the kids play on the playground.
