{5 Of The Best} Fun Things To Do In Pretoria

There really is so much to do in Pretoria if you have children. We might not have the sea but we have lots that gets the kids out and about to enjoy our amazing weather. These are our 5 fun things to do in Pretoria.

Cedar Junction

This is a lovely venue and makes for a great day out for the whole family. There is so much to from a train that takes you around the plot, a little swimming pool, paddle boats on the river to a lovely restaurant. They often have fun days with special activities and do run a holiday programme of sorts every holiday so it is worth it to sign up to their newsletter. We have been a few times and the kids love it. There is an entrance fee but you can spend the whole day there which is well worth it.

Willow Feather Farm

This is a little gem in Irene. It is a party venue, nursery, animal farm and restaurant. Jack loves this farm, you can get up close and personal with the animals and buy food for some of them. It is set in a lovely little farm and the restaurant is charming and serves some yummy food.

Zita Park

This has been a favorite for many many years. We hosts the children’s parties there, we have spent many summer afternoons there and some clear winter mornings. There is a pool perfect for younger children and a large playground with jungle gyms suitable for all ages of children as well as a large open grass area.

Jingle Jangle

This is more than just a restaurant. There is lots for the children to do here. It is best suited to younger children but there is still a selection of activities like a little racing track for the kids, jungle gyms, trampolines and horse rides. There is no entrance fee but you do need to eat or drink at the restaurant (don’t go here if you are in a rush!)

Pretoria Zoo

The zoo is always a win particularly the Pretoria Zoo and the children generally always enjoy it. The Pretoria Zoo is clean and the animals, while in captivity, are well cared for. Just make sure you take a pram for the little ones and lots of snacks and drinks, or lots of cash.

 

If all else fails, take a look at a local startup called Vibescout. They have a page specifically dedicated to things to do in Pretoria that has daily events from food markets to fun family day events.
