Such a nice place to visit with your little one! We enjoyed ourselves so much. The zoo is very clean, tidy and well kept. I would much rather recommend this zoo than the Pretoria zoo. Most importantly, the animals look healthy and well looked after!! Just a tip if you do plan to visit; make sure to be there before 10 am if you want to avoid a long queue in peak season.

Great place friendly staff. Very neat. All enclosed areas are very neat and clean. These people truly care about every animal that they have. Great place to have a fun day out with the fa family. You can see all animals are well fed and looked after. Would go back anytime...

You can see animals in close distance,in certain time you can experience owl sitting on your arms or head, snakes on your shoulder. Small zoo but worthy to visit with kids worthy to watch alone, mall of Africa is around 5 KM, taxis can be requested using Bolt app. Restaurants, cool drinks available inside zoo. 2 restrooms available, 1 in entrance and 1 in the other end. 110 rands entrance fee for adults .

The cages and animals seem well cared for. There are trees and plants in the cages. The walkways make it easy to walk around and the 18 month old walked a lot without complaining and loved the play area The toasted chicken sandwich was not great, couldn't past the first quarter, tasted like rancid oil. Perhaps pack a picnic lunch but get cold drink chips and ice vre there They have a cute gift shop too. The animals are mostly quite visible. They are mainly rescues. The cats monkeys and birds are great. There Were no rhinos or giraffes etc. a lovely day out. Enjoy. Take hats and sunscreen

What a lovely place, the cages are very clean and has everything the animals need. Very friendly staff. The restaurant makes lovely food and it is very affordable. Vodka (the dog) is so cute and very well mannered. My favorite was the owls that comes and sit on you arms and head what a wonderful experience! Can't wait to visit again.

Animal lover's paradise. I love looking at the beautiful big cats. Wonderful experience during their playtime this morning. Safe place for family and couples to picnic. Lovely little restuarant. Zoo animals seems healthy. All very clean.

Such a wonderful zoo with an added value of saving animals and rehabilitating them. It’s my 3rd time to the zoo but I enjoy it again and again every single time. Due to COVID, petting is not available as was in the past. In addition there are no cat cubs at all at the moment. We did enjoy all animals that were absolutely lovely. In addition, you can find some animals outside the cages such as parrots that will gladly sit on you and they’re very talkative. I want to send a huge thanks to the zoo staff who helped us so much with a ride to Africa Mall as we were stuck for an hour without the ability to get any Uber or taxi. They did it with pure heart and which for me symbolize this whole place.

Gorgeous creatures, interesting & sad stories behind how each was rescued. Staff come across as genuinely caring. Special to be able to get that close to see and appreciate some incredibly rare and amazing animals.

It was a great experience. The place is well kept and the animals are well taken care of. You can watch the feedings go into the owl cage. You can feed bunnies and meerkats as well as holding a snake. It's actually better than visiting larger zoos as you can get closer to the animals and it feels more interactive. It's great if you go with friends or family to enjoy the whole day out. There is place to sit and you are allowed to bring your own things, such as meat to have a braai.

We loved the Park. The kids enjoyed themselves. We got to handle the snakes and hold the cockatoo. The Park is well maintained, the animals look loved and cared for. The staff is so kind and respectful. There are enough shaded places to sit and the Park is a good size, ensuring that you get to see all animals. Keep up the great work staff and management !

I was very surprised to find such a gem in Gauteng. I'm normally not one for zoos but I understand It is a sanctuary and the animals are very well looked after.The cages are relatively big and are Very Well Maintained and Super Clean. I Was Pleasantly Surprised and can Recommend to anyone wanting to visit it.

Very nice, clean zoo. Not too big, easy to visit with children.

I enjoyed being at Lory Park Zoo, because it was so peaceful and a very beautiful site for eye's and enjoyment. There is a lot of animals and got to hold and touch some😍. I highly recommend this place. Suitable for kids and adults to learn on the nature of a Zoo. There's also a kids play section. Also a place to buy food inside, with places to sit after you have viewed the animals, which is the park😍. So overall we were happy with great service.

Beautiful place with a lot of animals! It looks small from the outside but big inside. There are strange and exotic birds I have never seen before. It is amazing to see tge big cats so up close. I definitely recommend buying super worms to feed the Meerkats, letting the owls sit on you and holding a python around your neck! Amazing place🤩

Had my daughter's birthday party there. Both the kids and adults loved it. Lots of improvement to be done in terms of infrastructure and the road leading to the Zoo needs to be properly fixed. Zoo inside very clean, intimate, value for money and very convenient. Hopefully cub interaction will be brought back with regulations being eased up.

Treacherous drive-way. Staff at the ticket office were uninterested. Tiny enclosures, especially for the big cats. Large variety in this small space. Grubby play area. Pretty interactive. For the price of entry you might want to consider Johannesburg Zoo or better still, Montecasino Bird Park.

The entrance the Zoo is the only thing that's an issue. The place is very neat and clean and is maintained well. The residents of the Zoo are well looked after. Groomed and fed well. A great experience for all age groups. Was a pleasant visit. Entrance was standard R100 per person.

This was probably one of my favorite zoo experiences! Felt more up close than most other zoos I've been to. So many incredible animals! Highly recommend!

A very different experience from JHB and Pretoria zoo in the sense that you are in close proximity in viewing the animals. Mostly big cats and Birds as well and Gibbons and some reptiles. Really well maintained enclosures, there are eating areas and animal encounters can be arranged. Braai facilities available too. Highly recommended if you want to get close to some big cats.

Such a privilege to see our wild up close. The animals are well looked after. Informative boards. Lovely day out.

Small, well kept animal sanctuary The animals are well taken care of and the zoo is clean. There are no animal encounters at the moment but even without that our 5 year old had a great time. It seems that some parts are under construction which, when done, should add positively to the feel of the place. There is enough space for people to spread out and a cafe with a lot of seating for lunch. The initial reception/parking bay area and entrance road could use an upgrade but other than that a good Saturday morning family outing.

We enjoyed our time at Lory Park Zoo. There are different species of animals and birds. I was excited to see the iguana live (since I used to see it in movies). ,We also enjoyed the greeting by parrots and the show put up by one of the flamingos and one of big birds 😀 Unfortunately, the sun was hot - some animals had gone into their shelters for the shade. The road to the zoo is unfortunately not in a good condition.

Great place to bring family, kids, or have a picnic. not crowded beautiful oh wonderful stuff I also liked the white lion hyenas and the tiger not forgetting that they do have the Jaguar, puma. Love it

A beautiful zoo. Been coming here since I was little. Now I bring my cousins here . Big and open and very clean and follows covid rules . The zoo owners Ed and Matty are amazing people. All big enclosures for the animals. Amazing. Love coming to Lory Park Zoo . I'm 20 and still like a little girl when I come here . Best zoo in midrand.

Had such a nice time at this hidden gem in Midrand. Never knew about this place and would definitely had gone there a long time ago. The animals are in immaculate condition and the Zoo is neat, clean and tidy. The staff is super friendly and very informative. They can howerever put some work into the road leading to the zoo, but that is a very small discomfort in regards to what you get to experience there. Keep up the graet work. You will be seeing us again soon.

Nice place to visit and pass time with family. Zoo is well kept. Just the space is limited for the animals to move like the tiger, lion, cheetah etc their cages are small so the animals can't move much in their enclosures

I loved the animal experience and the atmosphere offered by the place and the kids loved it too however I found the manner in which the staff at the cafe area dealt with us, very rude and I don't want to bring in race but the 2 incidents which were specifically directed at people of color made me wonder. We might have been ignorant for not knowing some of the rules but if you work with people from my understanding there's a way in which you address issues. You don't shout especially if there's kids around. I would've loved to go back but unfortunately that ncounter with the staff at the cafe(the rest were pleasant enough) left a bitter taste in my mouth.

It is the most amazing Zoo,the cause is so much better.

Really a great experience. Absolutely love it. Definently coming back with my family. Animals are also well fed. Also food they sell is fresh n nice. Absolutely amazing!!

A beautiful, well maintained animal sanctuary, with great animal encounters. A variety of wild animals endemic and ecdemic to South Africa. Highly recommended for a day outing to animal lovers.

Boutique zoo, clean, fun and not crowded. Animals look very healthy and you get to be close to most of them.

What a wonderful experience to see the Big Cats so close up without the need to walk a mile :-) Kids absolutely love it with a wide variety of animals to see real close. An experience not to forget for the whole family!

The animals are well looked after. There is a small play area for toddlers and a shop to get something small to eat. The service of good allover however they can invest in a megaphone so when they do the talks about the lion's, and other big cats everybody can hear them.

Staff selling food and drinks could have been friendlier. Other than that our experience remains a great outing for the family. Kids can enjoy ice cream, feeds rabbits and enjoy predators and lots of animals up close. Animals we would like to list: Fish Eagle Vultures Flamingos Small birds Kookaburra Different owls (huge and medium size) Snakes Monkeys Lions White Lions Tiger Jaguar Leopard

The zoo is not that big but has enough animals and they sell food. It is not a crowded place.. the staff is friendly they allow you to touch some of the animals for free ♡. But feeding the rabits is R10.

We would love to Thank Lorry Park Zoo for engaging our youth in Animal time and education. I believe that this is one of the most beautiful Zoos in South Africa right in the heart of President Park Midrand Healthy fresh beautiful Lively Colourful various types of Reptiles to Bird Species, From Giant Boa snakes to Fish Eagles , Jaguar to Rabbit. 26 Children from NJCH and NLC children’s orphanages in President Park on 1 July 2023 where treated to a lunch outing and some lollies after partaking in The 1st Local Community Clean up campaign just 3 km from Lory Park Zoo. The kitchen makes lovely fresh food , with order numbers being called out in the Tea Garden. I enjoyed a Sammie and The Youth had hotdogs. What a treat The staff are very special and grounded. To all the volunteers who assisted in holding snakes , getting the owls to fly on heads and arms , keep the gate secure , lion feeding and lion talks thank you thank you from the Top of our hearts Thanks for Everything

The really nice thing about this zoo is that the kids can see the animals up close. The big cats are no more than 2 m from you. The zoo is well maintained and clean. The informative signs about the animal are very useful and good to educate the kids. The enclosures are bit small for the larger animals but I guess they get used to it

I've been following them on Facebook and absolutely love how much they love and care for the animals. You also see it when you get to the zoo. There is a lot to see. A wide range of birds, reptiles and predator cats. I love how you can also interact with the animals and you get to see the big cats feed at 3pm everyday. Entrance is R110 for adults and R80 for kids. You can also buy worms for the meerkats you see at the entrance. Loved the experience. Will definitely be going back.

It's a great, easy to navigate zoo that isn't too big that you get tired of walking half way through. The bathrooms really need a good clean and refurbishment. In general the staff could seem a little happier to be there or at least welcoming. Especially with kids excited about entering, the stern greeting from the ticket counter was a bit of a negative aspect as well. The gap in paving near the lion enclosure is dangerous. Carrying my son, I almost fell but did hurt my ankle by accidently steeping into it.

A lovely tea garden offers light lunches, snacks, and refreshments, while a jungle gym and animal petting play area will keep kids entertained for hours. Lory Park caters for school tours and is involved in a number of community outreach programs within the Midrand community. ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ———————— Other animals you can expect to see here include Siberian tigers, Bengal tigers, cheetah, lynx, jaguar, lion, leopard, puma, dwarf mongoose, honey badger, and caracal. Don’t miss out on the reptile enclosures to spot reptiles such as the bearded dragon, snakes, green iguana, leopard tortoise, and Nile crocodile. 🐊 🐊 🐊 ————————

Wow for anyone who loves pap with their braai, this was a total hit! Have been struggling to find non GMO maizemeal, if it's authentic, this is on top of my list

Beautiful zoo! Clean, neat and very peaceful. I love visiting Lory Park Zoo.

This is a very nice place to visit ,especially for kids education on animals.And also recommended for family visits.

Very nice outing for the whole family. The meerkat feeding is a must! They are extremely cute and take the food out of your hand. A large number of different birds to look at. You can even handle a snake! Animals are well looked after and seems to be happy and healthy.

Loved this place, clean and well organized. Well done to the staff keeping the cages of all the animals clean. Friendly staff and a great overall experience. Celebrated my sons 5th birthday today at Lorry Park and will definitely visit them again in the near future.

Great place to be. Wide range of cat family animals. Food outlet, friendly reception

A neat little zoo just outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. They've got a wide variety of big cats, birds and reptiles. They have a big picnic area with tables and chairs and braai facilities with lions in view. We enjoyed getting watch when they fed the animals as well. The restrooms are clean and they even offer sanitizer throughout the park. An on site shop is available. It's a bit of a bumpy ride going in but a wonderful experience once you're there.

This zoo is quite entertaining for a small family. There's a few of animals to see here with limited options. However, it is a good place to chill and relax for a few hours here during the weekend. Although not their fault (I think), the road towards the gate of the zoo is terrible.

Our first time. It was very nice and clean just as most people said on the reviews. The animals look well kept after. We didn't stay until feeding time. Hopefully we can next time. Only negative thing is the road into Lory Park.

Great little zoo , seems to be evolving it to more or a bird park , in past there use to be more tigers , but there still is one , 2 of the most beautiful lions I ever seen , great place for the kids to get up close , staff need a revamp as they not really interested or interactive .

This place truly is a Gem in Midrand. A very special experience. All the animals are so well looked after. We look forward to returning soon.

First experience with the zoo, I was happy with our outing and picnic. Zoo is just big enough to enjoy for a day out. There is braai facilities and a shop. Bathrooms were neat.

Nice outing for the day. Perfect place to take small children. Well maintained place with reasonable entrance fees.

It's a place where you can c wild animals form very near.It's a nice place where you can have a nice moments with your friends and family members. There is a facility where you can make some B.B.Q.

Lovely safe experience. You can have a picnic as well. Wide variety of animals and lots of fun for the little ones. It is a bit small tho and the actual road by the park is terrible with big jagged stones. Important to mention as people with cars that aren't bakkie or SUV's will have to be careful when entering. The park can do more to pave that portion.

Lovely place for a family outing. I joined everything about it and will surely be coming back

It was awesome

Small well-kept zoo and a big variety of animals. Perfect for little ones

Excellent service

The cages were clean with a good variety of animals. The eating area was well maintained and the food very tasty.

Clean, neat little Zoo. Perfect for a half day outing.

Nice and chilled place to be on a Sunday with the family

Was a good experience overall

Love this place, animals are so close, very relaxing

What an amazing experience. The place is so clean and the staff so friendly.

educational and wonderful experience

Small, but nicely set up, food available or you can take your own. Sometimes when they have babies, you can do animal interactions.

Awesome experience! Animals are looked after in a splendid manner. Such a great variety of animals... So clean! Just awesome!

Amazing atmosphere! Beautiful animals!

Lory Park Zoo boasts an amazing range of animals from birds to reptiles and of course the cat family. The Zoo has an exhibition for each group of animals: bird sanctuary, reptile exhibit, the wild cats family and a few hidden gems along the way such as Koi, Meerkats, rabbits and an owl exhibit (Signed as Hogwarts mail room from Harry Potter) which allows visitors to take pictures with owls. The park also allows for its visitors to watch while they feed the wild cats: lions, leopards, jaguars and others. The park has a truck shop as well as a fast foods stall with delights such as fried potato chips and sandwiches. Children can also feed the bunnies at the park. A wonderful place for a family trip!

I am not really a fan of animals in captivity however, Lockdown has forced parents to get out and entertain kids in not normal ways and rather animals in captivity than hunted in the wild for sport. Lory Park is a mini zoo. Lions, Tigers, Jaguars, Cheetahs and you get to see them up close. Animals are looked after aswell. When they fully operational you can even braai there etc. Great for a day out of the new norm.

Very well looked after and friendly grounds staff. Animals all look cared for. Nice for small kiddies.

I was there with my family and we ALL had a great time,Staff is friendly, we played with animals ,the place is clean,the restaurant served us with fresh chicken salad,honestly we are coming back again next weekend, awesome experience and education,love it

Words to describe the zoo: Clean, variety, lovely plants and enclosures, reasonable toasted sandwiches and hamburgers. Great experience everyone should have in Joburg. One of my top 10 Joburg experiences.

Absolutely stunning and very clean!!! Feeding the meercats mealworms was great fun. Only suggestion is that there are more shady spots when viewing the animals as it was a very hot day!

Very clean. Animals well kept. Well priced,, tea garden lovely under the trees. Thank you.

Please level the off road leading to the park. It is such a danger to our vechiles. Other then that the park it self was a wonderful experience

Great for a day out with the kids in close proximity to Johannesburg. Have a variety of animals and birds for viewing

What a pleasure to spend a morning at Lory Park Zoo!

Abit pricey and you still had to pay to go in and see the bunnies

Loved the experience definitely worth going.

I was at this Zoom long ago, and was so amazed when I walked in there today. So many changes and, you can see that there are being taken good care of all the animals and birds in the Zoo. It was so relaxing and the shop has a variety of everything you would want to eat and drink!! I really loved our day out with the Grandkids!!

Beautiful, clean animals seem to be very well cared for.

Very neat and well managed Park.

Great place to visit. Well kept. Beautiful animal interactions for kids and adults.

It is not a zoo it is an animal sanctuary, they help animals who have been mistreated and educate you about how animals are exploited for tourists. They do a really good job of caring for the animals there they all look healthy and beautiful. Great place to take kids!

Beautiful, private Zoo with good variety of wild cats, reptiles and farms animal from different parts of the globe. # Animal interaction for adults and kids is available and fun.

Small but quality. Animals were very active. Enjoyed my time there.

Great family joint

Loads of fun and wonderment for kids and parents alike

Nice place for a day out. A lot of birds with a few other animals. And nice rabbit feeding for kids.

Amazing place! Great family outing! Animals so well looked after!

Just big enough for kids. Well kept. Amazing variety

Great day out, maybe have more staff during weekends, especially for the concession area.

Wow! Loved the bunnies

Absolutely amazing zoo. Cages are super clean and all the animals are very well looked after. Great place for kids to go see all the big and small animals. Zoo keepers interact and are very friendly, you will often be able to hold some of the reptiles and see the feeding of all the big cats

(Translated by Google) Lovely for children They can see the animals very clearly (Original) جميل للأطفال يمكنهم رؤية الحيوانات بكل وضوح

Privately funded - best value for money / family-value attraction you can visit. Staff are amazing, young students volunteering their time, food is pricey but delicious nonetheless, along with great animal interactions for the kids and educational talks.

Great morning out, really entertaining and an amazing selection of birds as well. A really enjoyable experience.

Best zoo ever, I'm only 9 years old and I love doing ranger days in the school holidays,helping look after animals,feeding them and learning about them and you get different levels.Please try it out!

Awesome. Not big. Need about 2 hours there

This place is incredible. Well kept, friendly and great atmosphere. Encounters with the animals are so close. Will definitely be going again.

Fun and animal seem healthy

Great atmosphere. Entrance is a little pricey but the food and cooldrink prices inside is reasonable. braai facilities avialable - not sure if there are booking requirements, As well as a lapa with tables and chairs.

Lovely to see the animals up close, although the enclosures seem incredibly small. Animals look well fed and rested. Not sure about capacity control as there were many families with many children, which made social distancing almost impossible.

Had a brilliant experience with you guys!! Staff was very friendly and the animals looks very well cared for!! Keep it up guys, i fell in love with this place.

Lovely compact zoo with all the big cats !!

It's good enough for a small private zoo.

Amazing experience! All the animals are super content, clean, healthy and well looked after. Cages are clean. Looking forward to when the interactions are open again.

Fun for the whole family.. Kids loved feeding the rabbits they were very friendly and lovable

Great outing for families. Not as big as the other zoo's around Gauteng which is a plus, especially during summer. If you're lucky enough, or plan your trip, you can watch them feed the big animals.

Animals are well kept after clean and friendly staff

Bit disappointed that the tiger cage was empty as that was our reason for going but still very enjoyable outing.

great place to visit

Wonderful array of well cared for wildlife.

The big cats are absolutely beautiful and the staff so friendly. Wide variety of animals too. Great day out for the family and the kids loved it!

Brilliant , had an awesome time with my grandaughters nursery school . Animals in tip top condition, as a group we were allowed in before the public opening hours . Keepers on hand to give the little ones medy and greet some if the smaller animals and reptiles. Excellent place to go .

Wide variety of animals. Very neat and clean. Restaurant on site. Picnic areas. Kids play area. The road leading into the parking area +-150m is gravel and needs improvement.

Very much worth it!

It's ok but.... if you want a quick tour of some animals, up close experience with petting and feeding that is friendly for the whole family then this is the place. To see everything the place has to offer it's about 2 hours max. This will cost you R300 for 2 adults and a child under 12. The Cafe didn't offer a lot of options for food and service was not the best to be honest. If you can rather bring your own food. They have braai areas as well. But to keep eagles and vultures in cages that dont allow them to even fly and say that is protection is baffling to say the least. I am only using these as examples but this applies to other animals there as well. Some of these animals are not even endangered to justify the captivity at the very least 😔. Its the poachers that need capturing not the animals.

My brother's took me to the park for my birthday and I had a great time, it's a nice place to chill and braai with family and friends.

Awesome Zoo with friendly staff! Their ranger program for kiddies in the holidays is highly recommended

Excellent

Beautiful little zoo. I can especially recommend it for little toddlers as its just the right size and there's a bunny petting area which is the bomb 😄 Also, its a sanctuary, so you don't have to feel bad for caged animals. The staff is very friendly and you can feel that their hearts are in this little zoo.

Took my daughters and baby granddaughter and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The park and cages are beautifully maintained and the staff are very friendly

100% COVID-19 compliant and save 😷👍 Clean and well kept cages. The animals are really well looked after ⭐ It's not a big Zoo but it boasts a good variety to see and explore. Good outing for the family, our kids loved petting the bunnies. We grabbed lunch from the cafeteria but the venue also have picnic areas and braai facilities that can be rented for parties.

Never seen happier animals than at Lory Park Zoo. HEADS UP! the road to the entrance literally pops tyres its that bad. If you have a 4X4 you should be fine.

Awesome for small children, price is also affordable

Cool place impress

animals well looked after. Cages clean

Great place to take the family had a great time with the kids

(Translated by Google) My sister and I were here today, Christmas Day, and the animals are well cared for and the gardens and general surroundings are so beautifully clean. It was a pleasure to move through the park - even interacting with some of the animals. The staff are very friendly and professional (thank you for sacrificing that day away from your families to cheer us up). Definitely going to bring the grandchildren here in January. (Original) Ek en my sus was vandag, Kersdag, hier en die diere is goed versorg en die tuine en algemene omgewing is so mooi skoon. Dit was n plesier om deur die park te beweeg - selfs met van die diere interaksie gehad. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en professioneel (dankie dat julle dié dag opgeoffer het weg van julle families om ons s'n op te kikker). Gaan beslis die kleinkinders in Januarie hierheen bring.

Excellent place to take the kids. The animals are in Excellent condition and very well taken care of. The enclosures are large and well equipped for each animal's needs. Lory Park has gone the extra mile to paint beautiful pictures and paintings on some of the walls of the enclosures to add to the beauty and environment of the enclosures. Some reptile tanks have lovely artificial flowers and another one has artificial butterflies. An absolute delight for viewing. The place is very clean with enough place to sit for a snack or picnic. There is a fastfood deli and a small curio shop. For the extra energetic kids there is a playground. Not to forget the Bunny park. We had a very enjoyable day.

Beautiful place, and the animals are well loved and taken care of.

Beautiful, animals well cared for.neat and tidy. Will go again

Is a very pleasant experience for the kids cause they got to see the animals upclose and took pictures, it was an adventurous experience.

Great place for lunch. Best prego's in Joburg!

It was a nice experience. Its a fun place to take your kids

Perfect for the little ones, who thoroughly enjoyed visiting the amazing animals they have!

Very clean, staff are helpful and friendly,animals are well taken care off and the food were delicious and very affordable.....we loved it!

Took kids there. They loved it

Awsome

Fantastic highly recommended, fantastic staff and facilities. Worth visiting again.

It's always good but today I had to wait for an hour before getting my staff I paid for 😪

My first trip I M arrived 8:00 until 1:03 afternoon open truck outside curtain go through weithbridge offload the plates COME back weithbridge and go loading section for line I come whith 29 plates loading my truck 23 plate never returned until help us reception guys is not easy Pride Milling factory like other factory

Loading is fast enough after the initial wait, got here at 6pm and got called in at 3:15am done at 4:20am Very pleasant people working at the warehouse as one can expect at Pride.

Pride milling Nigel, you arrive at 18:00 only to come out around 03:00, weighbridge to warehouse problems.

Amazing deals

So impressed. The place is so clean, the animals are well fed and the enclosures are beautiful. The staff is extremely informative and helpful. The pricing is super reasonable and their engaging encounters with the animals ensures an exciting day! I will continue to visit Lory Park Zoo, and recommend to all friends and family!

Well priced (R110 per adult and free for kids under 2). There are a few stalls selling fast food and lots of different animals to see. The bunny area costs an extra R10 per adult but its worth it for the kids. Its not extremely big like JHB ZOO but is worth the trip. Decent amount of parking but the short dirt road entrance needs work.

Animal rehabilitation centre, great spot for the children. You can feed the bunnies for an extra small fee. They also have a section where owls can sit on your arms which was a good experience and opportunity for great photos. Clean

Small, very good for toddlers and small children where you may feel you cannot spend the entire day at the zoo yet. The 'tea garden' at the back has everything you need for a light lunch or snack, and even a gift shop. You can feed 2 of the animals upon entering, when buying meal worms for snacks at the entrance, and there is a small play area close to the tea garden. The animals seem well looked after and healthy, even though the cages seem a bit small for the large cats, which saddens me. The price was a bit high for me, for the small size and limited amount of time you can spend there, but I am hoping that the money is well spent, as the place is clean and beautiful.

Best zoo I've been too, Very clean. The Birds feeding and snake handling were amazing.

Great day. Perfect setting. Well maintained and the friendly staff make it even more memorable

Nice experience for the kids. Lots of animals... Just don't expect the animals like rhinos, elephants or antelope. There's picnic and braai facilities and they have programs during the day where you can interact with some of the animals.

Such a fine and informative familypark fine and good care for their animals we were honoured to be there

Well kept facilities. Nice day outing.

Always amazed at the beautiful creatures being looked after here.

Changed since i was last there many years ago.

Clean, animals well kept and fed, Covid regulations in place.

We loved it. The animals are well looked after. We will definitely be going back.

An excellent place, the animals are beautiful 😍 it was just a pity not be able to pet the babies, but I understand the circumstances.

Decent.. No tigers

Nice experience, especially for the young ones - the close encounter with the animals is the best. Road leading to the zoo entrance, needs serious attention. 😬😢

Surprisingly amazing. I didn't expect such a large zoo with such a variety of animals. The venue was in great condition and so were the animals.

Big animals locked in small enclosures. Absolutely no need for such continued torture in 2021. How much more suffering do you want to be responsible for? Animals should not be jailed for your afternoon outing :(

Place very nice & lost animals to see ,their cafe made nocest sandwiches

Beautiful

Good place to visit

Great outing for the kids and quite safe as well.

Great experience

Amazing place, loved it

Great place for kids. Cafe not to bad to buy food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there. Covid-19 protocols strictly in place. A lovely outing for the family

Great place to take the kids well kept zoo and animals

Close encounter with the animals Has a braai area

Loved it! Especially the interactive owl session!

Stunning...cleanest place I've been to in a long time. Had so much animals to see. Will definitely visit again. Only issue was the extremely poor road to get into the parking.

A great place for a first time date, to be among the animals and just get to know the person you are with is highly recommended. The staff is really friendly and the gift store is nice for a remeberal 😋🧡

Lory Park is still open and provides a great outing opportunity for the family.

Kid friendly place,animals well looked after and well fed . Animal cages clean and staff friendly. Tea garden food excellent. I would recommend this place to families with small children....

Loved it, walked through the entire premises more than 5 times and I was not exhausted, as I would be walking through JHB zoo once lol. Animals are very well looked after. Staff is friendly, premise is clean. Braai area clean, place to wash your hands etc. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Nice place for a family outing

Stunning. Animals are well fed and looked after. Well done Lory team

Animals well taken care of. Fun day out for small kids

Amazing and well represented

Up close and personal interaction with the animals...... the kids loved the experience.

Nice variety of animals including White Lions. Not too big. You allowed to take your own food which is nice. Place is very well maintained and animals look healthy. Toilets need more regular cleaning.

Really great experience, especially for older kids (8 years) the owl encounter was unbelievable. Some empty exhibits but overall clean and well cared for. Make sure to get worms at the gate to feed the meerkats ☺️. Bring sunscreen, a hat and even an umbrella, it gets very hot. Really enjoyed the outing

One of the best Zoo's I've been to... Though it is small... It delivers exactly what they advertise... I enjoyed watching the big cats especially the white lions! The zoo is never crowded... They offer reasonably priced food in a food court with enough room for most of their visitors to sit comfortably... And just as an added feature, the zoo is beautiful and has a relaxing vibe about it... Great for taking pix...

Very good to take small kids to interact with the animals

Really Awesome place to visit. A surprisingly wide variety of animals here which will not leave you disappointed. Very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere for a family trip. I would urge anyone to pop in if you are looking for a fun enriching afternoon.

The best zoo ever with close interaction with the animals and the staff is readily available to explain and answer questions

Beautiful place well maintained and clean. Renovations currently in place hence the 4 stars and price point is slightly highly. Great interaction with the reptiles and animals. Friendly staff Well worth the visit!

We had a wonderful time at the zoo, the kiosk sells fresh and tasty meals .

We had a lovely morning out at Lory Park Zoo. The animals look very well cared for. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The facilities were great. We had a yummy bite to eat and my kids especially loved feeding the bunnies.

A variety of animals to view and they are all well taken care of, especially the big cats. Fun place to spend the day with family. Braai facilities on site.

Best Zoo ever, even their food is accommodating, and the Animals are WOW☺️

Nice little zoo hidden in midrand, quite a variety of animals to view, great for kiddies to view and to take a time out in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Nice enough place for an outing. The cost is fairly high for a family of 4. The animals all look very healthy, but in general the cages are quite small. Recent rains have damaged the sand road into the zoo, so repairs are needed.

The zoo is so well maintained and all the animals are well looked after and you can see the pride from the people working there. Great family outing and enjoyable for everyone 👌

The lory Park zoo is my favourite I really enjoyed it I had my sister and my cousin come along we all enjoyed it lots of animals the big cat feeding was amazing I thought it was one of the best shows I've ever been to I'll definitely go there again the board experience was amazing lots of birds not too many reptiles but amazing and amazing variety of animals and birds and Reptiles I enjoyed it and so did my sister and my cousin we went in with the rabbits which they let you do you can also go in with the owls big cat feeding and the big cats Walk Right up next to the glass it was amazing not a lot of people at the zoo either it was very quiet vodka the dog wolves lovely he was very friendly and tried begging from us but we're at the sides which that he wasn't allowed to eat anything other than is food you must just make sure you don't feed him funny stuff because it said it can hurt him and do lots of damage

Very chilled, intimate zoo for family outing. Not too big, so you don't get tired of walking around. Not too many animals, just the big cats that are the main attraction.

There are a variety of animals that are cared for here. There are a few animals that the public can interact with. A good way of introducing and teaching children about awild life. Only personal drawback is that I feel that the bigger cats need more space, but they do appear well loved by those who have adopted and who look after them.

Had a great time today, animals are well kept, the cages are huge and clean. A fun family place. Just one thing that was disappointed, was the food from the restaurant. We had the chicken burgers. It was soo dry that i could not finish it. And for that price (without chips, because they don't serve slap chippies) i would have like a nice juicy burger with a fresh burger bun. Otherwise was it n perfect day!

Great atmosphere, great learnings on the animals, was concerned about the rabbits thou because they were bleeding and the caretaker didn't seem to care.

Pleasant day out with the kids. Animals seem to be well looked after. Staff friendly.

We attended a market and absolutely loved every second of the day! The venue is incredible! There is so much to do and the tea garden is quaint. I am so impressed at how well the animals are looked after and cares for there!! We will definitely be back soon!
