A perfect place for a family get together. I was impressed at how well maintained it was. Great place for bird watching. Although there are restaurants there my suggestion would be to use the opportunity to pack a marvellous picnic and take it all in.

Great place for day out,with good restaurant just outside of it, another one inside(with very reasonable prices!), so green!:), with ducks wandering around, places to seat and relax, or to have a family picnic Definitely will be back, in autumn, to see the garden in beautiful colours

We attended a wine festival there, which was too crowded in the size tent it was in, but we sat on the lawn, and walked around the gardens. I don't think I'd have to return to see the gardens again.

The Pretoria National Botanical Gardens is well maintained and very people friendly. It has a range of biotopes to explore and many places where groups can enjoy picnics, or eat at one of the two restaurants. A formal restaurant is situated adjacent to the parking area and a more casual place is near to the waterfall and wedding venue.

Calm, peaceful and absolutely relaxing. Excellent picnic venue but note that they don't allow balls, bicycles... suggest you phone & check what is acceptable to the park.
