A hidden gem! Bloemfontein locals do not give this garden enough credit. One of the best things about it is how quite it is, when I was there, there were hardly any people. I walked 6km around the garden. The walk up the hill is a bit steep but nothing to intense, a young child will easily make it. It was such a nice place to spend my day. A perfect holiday activity for the young and old. Tip: bring a picnic basket with and have lunch in the gardens

We spent a couple hours in the gardens and did a short hike. A very well kept, cared for and scenic gardens with friendly staff. Lots of birds around and yellow Mongoose. Well worth a visit.

Peaceful open spaces and age old trees that offer shade from the Free State sun. Perfect place for a picnic. Beautifully green at the moment because of the frequent rains. Bathrooms and other facilities clean and accessible. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed when we visited.

Nice and quiet. They have the option of hosting parties at a lapa. Very clean. Nice as well for intimate picnics. Saw a few there.

Very peaceful experience for family fun... large outdoor space with large grassy areas that are well kept. Good for romantic picnics as well.
