What where and when in Pretoria?

Rooihuiskraal Feesterrein is on the Rooihuiskraal road between Mall@Reds and Uitsig road. They are open weekdays as well as weekends. You can host birthday parties there as well and they have a play park for the kids.

Safari Nursery in Lynnwoodroad is also nice. There are ponies and a train, but only on weekends. Also a big buffet breakfast.

Close to Centurion Mall is the Model Train place but they are only open on Sundays. tickets are R5 per ride and you can also take a picknick basket. They also host birthday parties on weekends. There are mini boats also on the lake.

There is the "rooishuiskraal feesterein" in centurion. They have farm animals, bring your own carrots and lettuce to feed animals.
I am not sure if it is only over weekends or every day?

Doesn't have much but here's a calendar of things to do

Hi ladies
Gerne, I feel the same. Makes me want to move back to CT

I stay in close tp Centurion and we've been to Irene Farm quite a bit. Love it there. Also been to Rietvlei dam a while back.

ANything else beside that and the Zoo? We are now at the point of driving to Jhb just to do some fun things with my 6 yr old.

thanks for the replies. Irene is quite far from us - im in Wonderboom south.

but it all sounds so nice.

seems the east is the place to be

We live in Pretoria East and there's the Moreleta Spruit which has walks, especially what we call the Koppie on General Louis Botha drive. You can either climb the koppie or walk along the spruit.

Cullinan is not too far and really quaint (although havent been out that way in about 2 years).

Irene Dairy farm is a real treat! The kids LOVE the cows! The restaurant is quite pricey, but the scones are devine (fresh farm cream).

Smuts House (also Irene) has some nice treats and when we were last there, the kids could run and play. Possible take bikes with, not sure?

Out of Pta East is the Anton Van Wouw (I think???) house. I'll check with hubby for the name - nice gardens and kids play area. Treats lekker too!!! And they have tours of the haunted house.

Magnoliadal?

I'm thinking...

As for bikes - I'd like to hear where too.

Hoping for good weather to visit the zoo in the next week!

Looking forward to some suggestions!

Of course, when it rains, there's hardly anywhere to even go for a cup of coffee that is child friendly! Maybe someone will take the hint and open something...

Gerne, there is a fun walk at the Zoo. I think its either the first or last Sunday of every month. You get a medal for finishing it. One of my friends did it as a family activity every month and they loved it.
