The Lory Park Zoo in Midrand is a fun outing for children and parents, where you can really get close to the animals. There is a petting area where one can touch and play with the youngest members (currently there are two gorgeous puma cubs), tame and talkative birds that will sit on your shoulder, adorable lemurs and meerkats who will gently take peanuts from you, beautiful eagles to admire, REALLY BIG CATS (my favourite)to awe you, and more. The zoo is small and compact so you can enjoy everything and be out of there before everyone becomes tired and cranky. There is a tea garden, toilets and a jungle gym. Next time, we will take a picnic basket though. Youngsters from 8-16 can spend an educational day at the zoo as a "ranger", cleaning cages and feeding animals etc., at R100 for the day. Entrance fees are R40 for adults and R30 for children under 12. They are closed on Mondays. For more information and directions, go to http://www.lorypark.co.za/
Ons besoek graag die Irene Dairy Farm. Dit is in Irene, Centurion. Daar is baie om te sien en te doen op hierdie ten volle werkende melkplaas. Ons stap graag op die plaas rond tussen die weikampe. dit is oop vir die publiek. Daar is heelwat wilde voels te sien. Dit is 'n baie ou plaas met lieflike groot ou bome en dit is 'n voorreg om hier in die stad so in die natuur te kan wees. As mens op die regte tyd daar is kan die kinders ervaar hoe die koeie aangejaag word na die melkery en dan kyk hoe die koeie gemelk word. Die kalfies word eenkant op hok gehou en die kinders kan aan hul vat en hul voer. Ons gaan soms na die plaas toe met 'n piekniekmandjie en lees eenvoudig daar op die gras terwyl ons piekniek hou. Daar is ook 2 restaurante waar die vars produkte van die plaas gebruik word. Ons koop weekliks ons melk, eiers en room by die plaas en die kinders sien en ervaar op hierdie manier die volle proses van melkboerdery sommer so op een plek.
