Lory Park Animal and Owl Sanctuary in Midrand is little haven one would not expect to find in the hustle and bustle between Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is a what many people like to call a boutique zoo, a place where animals can be appreciated up close, where human and animal interaction is welcomed, creating a personal and peaceful atmosphere.
At Lory Park, our mission is clear: "Creating a greater conservation awareness among our young." This commitment drives our educational programs and school tours, which we approach with passion and dedication. Our guided tours provide a more immersive experience. Upon arrival, large groups are divided into smaller ones, each led by a knowledgeable tour guide.
The tour includes: - A comprehensive exploration of the park, covering habitats, origins, diets, conservation efforts, and fascinating animal facts. - A break for students to enjoy snacks or lunch, with a tuck shop available. - Interactive encounters with contact animals, allowing students to touch and learn more about specific species. (Availability of animals may vary.) - If your class is studying a particular animal, let us know when booking, and we’ll tailor the tour to meet your educational needs. The tour concludes with a Q&A session. Cost: R 95.00 per child For every 25 children, one teacher attends for free. Guided tours are for children ages 6 and up; contact sessions for younger children can be arranged. For nursery and private schools with parent involvement, standard adult entrance fees apply. Please note: We do not conduct school tours on Mondays.
We also offer guided tours for adults in groups of 10 or more. Cost: R 125.00 per person
Join us on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays during school holidays from 08:00 to 16:00 for a day packed with fun! Activities include cleaning, preparing food, enrichment activities, attending conservation talks, and even personal encounters with ambassador animals. We welcome children aged 6 to 16, so make sure to wear your old, comfy clothes and bring a rain jacket. Remember, no cell phones or cameras during the activities to keep the focus on the fun!
