Barnyard - Steenberg, Tokai

The Barnyard has had a revamp recently and is loads of fun for children. We went on an outing with Grandparents and I am not sure if Grandpa or Nathan had more fun making piggy noises! There are penned goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits and a tortoise which can be fed with seed bought there. Pigeons fly in to make the most of the free meals too so there are loads of birds to be seen. A Jungle Gym and large sandpit kept Nathan busy while we had yummy marshmellow hot chocolate.

Shade: some tables in shade but play area not shaded
Attitude to kids: this place is all about giving mom a place to relax with toddlers and older
Stuff to do: feed the birds, sandpit, Jungle Gyms and a couple of famous 'Black Bikes'
Safe/contained: one entance to the restaurant and barnyard area
Outdoor/indoor: undercover and under-tree seating or get your coffee and sit on the edge of the sandpit.
Space: enough for a pre-school (30 children) outing which was there when we were
Cost: no entrance fee but food and drinks make up for this - eg R25 for cake
Parking: plenty
