Things to do in Pretoria, Gauteng: The Best Museums

August 14, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

Pretoria is a vision of purple, thanks to its plethora of blossoming trees that gave the South African metropolis its nickname: Jacaranda City. Give in to the animal magnetism of the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, then get up close and personal with the big, bad kitties of the Cheetah Research and Breeding Centre. The buildings of Pretoria reflect diverse architectural styles and influences, creating a unique urban landscape.

Reviewed By Benjamin_Mitchley - Centurion, South Africa

An art gallery with a difference. A lovely atmosphere with 3 exhibiting spaces which offers regular group and solo exhibitions, art workshops, custom framing and a deck restaurant which serve a variety of delicious homely meals with friendly service. We were welcomed by Miekie Lourens and Johann van Heerden on our first visit in May 2018 and we've been back for regular visits. As an artist wanting to exhibit my artwork, I was welcomed to the gallery in a friendly manner. A definite frequent place to visit.

Kruger House Museum

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

My family of 4 visited the Kruger House Museum and found it to be educational. Learnt more about Kruger himself, who used to reside here, and also about the Boar war. There are several antique collections throughout the museum including a train coach used during Kruger’s time. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting this museum to any traveler.
