Hartbeespoort Dam Snake and Animal Park

It's an entertaining stop for the kids in Hartees. The animal enclosures are well curated and the animals are well looked after. It's not a large facility, so you can see everything in detail in less than an hour. Parking can be an issue, but there are lots of relatively friendly car guards outside that will help you park outside the bounds of the zoo. They have a mid day show with a seal and some live snakes. Make sure to take some drinks before you sit. The zoo also is the point for the water sports.

Its clean!! The animals have fresh food and water! Its really worth the money to go. It keeps you busy for an hour that is just enough for the kids. There is enough to see and to enjoy.

Lovely time shared with friends and family. Plenty animals to see including reptiles, mammals (lions, tiger, monkeys,etc) and birds...They usually have a snake show once or twice a day; depending on how busy they are and the number of visitors that day.

Exciting place for the kids- especially the seal and snake show! Ferries not operational due to hyacinth! Premises could do with a bit of modernisation! Wide variety of reptiles on show! Lions, leopards, tygers and hyenas also available!

One of the coolest places in Haarties. This place is very scary for me who has a phobia of snakes. There are so many different types of animals and birds to see with the snakes. As a family outing it is highly recommended that you visit this place if you are in the area. Lots of food places in the surrounding area to visit on this day trip.

Simply Fantastic! Best place to take the family out. Big variety of all types of animals from lion to reptiles, birds and apes. They have a snake and seal show too. Best value for money. Boat rides are priced well. Thumbs up to this zoo!

We loved and enjoyed the seal show so much. My girls were very happy. The food was amazing too.

Not the biggest fan of zoo parks but this one is beautiful and well maintained. Each animals area is big enough for them to move around, they have shade and proper water systems. The seal and snake show is informative and fun and we got to touch the snake. Not as wheel chair friendly but with a bit of effort you can navigate well enough through the park. The animals have character. They aren't just lazing around in the hot sun but they actually moved around and the chimpanzee and monkeys are interactive. They have food stalls on the premises, a picnic area and sufficient seating with tables.It's literally on the damn so the views going though the park is amazing with lots of selfie and photo opportunities for you and your family It's actually a really great experience. Up the road from the park are a few restaurants and the damn wall where you go through the tunnel and get to see more of the fan itself. The whole area is just a great experience. Make a day of it!

I love the snake and animal park - the people working there are amazing and super friendly and helpful, we always watxh the snake and seal show and learn something new everytime, and the enclosures are clean and the animals are all well taken care of and loved. It's a great place to bring kids to and I will always support them in every which way I can because of their hard word and genuine care for their animals.
