- Jorro15 contributionsReally interesting and well curated. Fascinating that the memorial of names was only erected in 2019. A sober reminder of the nihilism of all war and its long lasting g political aftermathWritten 14 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vanessa KCape Town, South Africa21 contributionsThis is well curated museum which is small enough to visit and appreciate the art presented. The carousel is lovely to watch in action.
Unfortunately the restaurant is closed which would have been lovely to sit at and appreciate the garden exhibits.Written 28 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am normally not a fan of enclosed lions, but all these lions have been rescued from various places and cannot be returned to the wild. When walking around the enclosures when can get extremely close to them and it was amazing to stand centimeters away from these magnificent animals. The sounds of lions roaring throughout the night was truly amazing. The females are on contraceptives because their cubs would also not be able to be free. I take my hat off to these amazing people who have given their lives to make these lions' lives as comfortable as possible.
The camping facilities and ablutions are basic but spotlessly clean. Lots of hot water and each site has power. I would recommend experiencing this unique facility if you're looking for a campsite near Bloemfontein.Written 27 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ScottSan Francisco, CA6 703 contributionsMuseum is definitely one of the best sites in bloemfontein. in one short visit I learnt more about the geology in history of this region than I would have ever imagined. their explanations of the karoo supergroup were better than anything I've found online.
Fossil exhibit was excellent.
The historical Street scene created on the second Deck is so authentic you forget your in a museum.
The tool development display from stone age to steel is about the best I've ever seen.
And the price could not be lower.
Only problem the audio guide devices were all dead. No one charged the batteries.Written 5 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Prices for imported good are high. I bought a pair of Nike shoes that were about 20 to 30% more expensive than in my home country, the Netherlands. Anyway, I was already happy I could get them.
From an architectural point of view, the complex blends in rather poorly with the environment. The nearby park with lake is dwarfed by the enormity of the structure. The carpark section on the city side looks awful. Access for people arriving by other means than a car is uninviting. As a pedestrian walking from the city center, it took me quite some time to find an entrance.
On the upper floor are ATMs of major banks in a safe area.Written 1 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tach1 contributionVery informative! Tour we went on was a bit long for small children in my opinion, but there is so much to see that it’s understandable, & all were very knowledgeable in their field. We enjoyed it thoroughly!Written 14 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- EstelleBloemfontein, South Africa38 contributionsI just love to spend time at the farmer's market on Saturdays. There is so much to see, eat buy and enjoy. After the visit your feet hurts of all the walking up and down the aisle. But its all worthwhile.
You can get everything at the market.
Meat, fruit, vegetables, clothing, shoes, everything you can think of.
There is even coffee shops you can sit down and enjoy something to eat and drink.
This is so much fun and meet lots of people selling their stuff, old stuff, new stuff whatever you can think off all on one property.
This is a definite place when looking for something or just need to relax and walk around.
I visit the farmers market about every weekend.Written 17 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
