yes it is but at a fee

Yes you can take you own food and drinks. people were braaing as there is space for that....they also had kids parties near the Cubs. Sorry I didnt check the price of playing with the Cubs as I was with a 2 year old.

You book it with them at the gate or at the tuck shop. Last time I was there, there were baby Cheetahs, lion's and vultures.

There is a entrance fee and the animal encounters are very affordable and well worth it.

Adults are R100 and kids over 2 are R70. There are also animal encounters which you can pay extra for. They take credit cards.

You can see most 'zoo' animals but several smaller types of the cat genus. However, this is the place to be if you want to get closer than any zoo and game park. Not all the animals will be "touch mode" so you can't demand but there will definitely be a couple that you can experience up close and personal creating a lifetime memory.

I only wrote the review. I suggest you contact Lory Park Zoo directly.
