Top 50 things to do and attractions in Port Elizabeth

Could be amazing with a bit more care. The grass was really overgrown, the pathways were broken, and the place was quite dirty. The lighthouse exterior could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, and the windows at the top were pretty grimy. That said, climbing the narrow steep stairs was actually kind of fun and gave the visit a little adventure

This is a historic landmark and is has been sorely neglected. It is such an important place in terms of tourism, and at one point around 2010 it was immaculate. It is being neglected by whoever is supposed to be taking care of it. Visit it anyway before it fades away completely. Something drastic needs to be done, the tourism department that is running it needs to do more here.

Well I’ve been here twice now, once on a date and another time my mom and I went there. Honestly I enjoyed every time. There is parking right there, and the view from up at the top of the lighthouse is pretty cool. The stairs leading up are quite narrow so be prepared. It’s clean but you can tell it’s old but still cool. You can go right up to the top and even out. I hav eno complaints.

Tourism guides/managers are very knowledgeable about the monument and the area. Sad that a few of the plaques have been removed. Would be nice if the vegetation around the Garden of Remembrance was a little more taken care of. View from the top of the lighthouse is good; a good workout for the legs as well. There is parking right next to the buildings and lighthouse, entrance to parking can be missed. Felt quite safe, though you always need to be mindful no matter where you are.

Definitely a must visit when in Gqeberha. The view from the top was good but the view from the tower was even better. There is ample parking at the place itself. The streets around the place did not seem very safe to me and this was also confirmed by the person working there at the time. The climb to the top is not easy and requires some effort but the view asses this effort.

Wow! What a beautiful sight and must see tourists attraction in Gqeberha. Just look out for the big flag post hoisting the flag of South Africa🇿🇦 visible from the N2 passing through Gqeberha. What a symmetrical Pyramid. An expression of love like the Taj Mahal. The whole history on how Port Elizabeth got its name

Such incredible potential but left to go to ruin. No Cafe, No Flag, Gardens are unkept. Tourist office is good. Lighthouse needs maintenance. Probably no 1 spot for tourists and the most neglected by the municipality.

I was hoping to see rhinos or giraffes on my own and therefore chose the self-drive option in the park. According to the description, the roads were supposed to be well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles. However, this does not reflect the reality at all. The tracks are in such condition that driving without an SUV or 4x4 is problematic – especially due to the low ground clearance of standard cars. If it rains, some parts could even become dangerous. In my opinion, the phrase “well-maintained roads” is highly exaggerated and misleading, especially for rental car drivers. I immediately aborted the drive and exited the park again – I didn’t see any animals, but I didn’t mind. My car is more important to me. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I would only recommend the self-drive if you have a proper off-road vehicle. That said, I want to mention that the young man at the gate was very kind, friendly, and helpful.

Amazing game reserve on our doorstep! Informative and knowledgeable guides. Lovely forest walk. Childrens Play facilities and braai area. Plan your own drive if you like but highly recommend the tour.

Yhoo the pace is amazing, it's so quiet and peaceful. The kids they love it so much, the space for them to run around is plenty. I'll definitely come for a full day next time, not for business, but for relaxation

Came to the Kragga Kamma Game Park for a self drive viewing. I sure wish I was told to bring a car with a high suspension as the trails do get a bit tricky as you drive, but seeing the different animals and at your own pace is definitely something I recommend. Some of the animals actually come closer to the cars so you can stop and view or take pictures of them. Definitely a great experience and it's R150 a person which is quite affordable 😊

We had a great experience with our game drive. Our tour guide Terry told us so many interesting facts about the animals she even had the childrens attention all the time. This game drive was worth every cent.

Don't get me wrong, absolutely stunning place, don't know why but I was expecting more. Play area, top for kids, shop a bit pricey but overall a good experience. My motto happy kids = happy parents, in that regard 5 stars. Me personally just disappointed.

200 hectares, so excellent size for someone to see lots of wild animals, if your time is short. (2 hour game ride...) Excellent and knowledgeable guide (Sam); she was friendly, engaging and had lots of excellent titbits of info about the animals etc...nice coffee shop too!

Went to bayworld the place is not too expensive but the ocean part was closed and we could only visit the dinosourus, meuseam and the reptiles. The gift shop was closed and years later it is still saying coming soon . Some of the specimens was dry or broken. Some of the displays was of or lights do not work. Some displayed objects was full of dust The place really needs a revamp or maintenance as you will see the place is not getting maintenance on a regular basis. Some people who work there is bias against some of the visitors as they will tell you no food and or drink allowed but when you walk up the stairs not only will you see the staff member munch on a burger you will also see other visitors eating and drinking. There was also a meuseam tour but we were not given the opportunity to join the tour with the guide

Bayworld was once a treasured destination in Port Elizabeth. It held a special place in the hearts of locals and tourists, known for its engaging exhibits, vibrant marine life, and educational experiences. Families would visit with excitement, children wide-eyed as they watched dolphins leap through the air, or wandered through the museum filled with displays that brought the natural world to life. It was a place that inspired curiosity and created lasting memories. But those days feel like a distant dream. Today, Bayworld is a heartbreaking sight. What once stood as a symbol of pride and learning has been reduced to a decaying, neglected space. The animal enclosures are in a dreadful state. Trash is scattered in and around them, with no effort made to keep the areas clean or safe. In some cases, there are even dead animals left in the enclosures, a truly disturbing sign of how far standards have fallen. It is difficult to understand how such a lack of care has been allowed to continue. The entire facility feels forgotten. Dust clings to every surface, and windows are so dirty they block out the light. Once vibrant and informative displays have remained unchanged for over a decade, making the museum feel more like a time capsule than a living, educational space. Nothing has been updated, improved, or even maintained. The signs of decay are everywhere, from broken fixtures to faded posters and empty exhibit rooms. Visitors who remember Bayworld in its prime can only feel dismay at the contrast. There is no sense of progress or rejuvenation. Instead, the space feels abandoned, not just physically but in spirit. The energy that once made Bayworld a place of joy and discovery has been completely lost. The sadness is made worse by the knowledge of what it used to be. It was a place that held potential to educate and inspire, a place that could have evolved and remained relevant. But that opportunity has been squandered. Bayworld now serves as a grim reminder of what happens when a place is left to deteriorate without vision or care. The community deserves better. The animals deserve better. And the memories of what Bayworld used to be deserve more than this slow and painful decline. Until serious changes are made, it will remain not only a disappointment but a disgrace.

Best time to visit this place is during school days. The place seems a bit old inside but there is soo much great things to learn about the Eastern Cape here.

We were welcomed by the friendly staff, they informed us that the aquarium is closed due to construction. The museum is big, has a variety of things to look for. It was the first time I see fashion section in a museum. What was more interesting was a section that contains a list and things that happened first in PE. The snake section is something else, saw the biggest python. It was a nice experience, hope after the constructions the place will be maintained to standard.

The museum is good, reptile park was ok. Unfortunately the aquarium was under maintenance and couldn't go there. A lot of the museum things could have been kept more cleaner, it has accumulated a bit of dust over the years especially the ones sealed inside a case.

It was lovely seeing the penguins and seals and was very educational but the place needs work. Part of the aquarium has been closed down. I really hope that the necessary renovations can be done soon to return the aquarium to its former glory. The animals are in good condition but they deserve better. The museum was very interesting and much bigger than I expected, I actually ran out of time and didn't get through everything. It's seen better days but all in all Bayworld was still a really fun experience!

The animals are not being kept well after. Even plastic in the cages. It honestly so sad. You can see how depressed those poor babies are. The crocodile doesn’t even have water. They. Need. To. Be. Taken. Care. Of. It feels like walking into a graveyard.

Beautiful place Although you need to purchase the entry permits at Pine Lodge but they only take CASH for the permits, so please make arrangements.

The lighthouse and coffee shop was closed. The ladies at the ticket office should know this. We specifically asked them if the coffee shop is open and take cards. However, it is a beautiful secluded place, A very windy day.

Amazingly service and very in really from the Inqeirem hase and delicious highly recommended

Stunning hiking trails. Recently did the Forest Trail to the Van Stadens Bridge. The walk can get quite steep and difficult if you're not a regular hiker, so it's not as easy as advertised. But the beautiful views, nature, birds and flowers make it all worth it. Would definitely recommend if you're able🌿

The longest route is about 7km long. Such a beautiful reserve 😍 💕 take a lot of water because the karoo can get very hot. Spectacular views and wild flowers for days 🌼🌺 FREE ENTRY

It's one of the best hiking trails 👣 I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. The reserve has picnic spots under the shade of trees. Convenient to enjoy before you prefer to take on a trail or after your time spent in nature. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Love the idea of the tuckshop! Go walk or run, you'll love it! The trail to choose is entirely up to you!

We recently visited Van Stadens Wild Flower Reserve, and it was absolutely breathtaking! This place offers stunning views and a beautiful, peaceful environment. Best of all, entry is free, making it accessible to everyone. Whether you're a nature lover, a hiker, or just looking for a relaxing day out, this reserve is a must-see. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy some time in nature and appreciate its beauty!

We attended the Annual Plant Sale this time around - finally! Have been missing it each year for a while. I'd definitely say that one should get there early as the entry and exit times were annoying with one lane of traffic. I have to assume half the plants had already been taken too as the remaining selection at 10h30 wasn't to die for. I did still find some Aloes I didn't have so it was not a wasted trip at all. Perhaps more vendors are necessary too as the queues were far too long. No doubt we will be back although this wasn't the best visit ever.

The trail is 10 km not 7,5km as per their boards. Its a moderately to difficult trail not easy to moderate as advertised. Beautiful trail! Though really difficult after you go past the bridge. You really need to be fit and I wouldn't advise to go with children for the long trail coz its really something else. Totally loved every bit of it. Amazing views, its clean and loved every minute of it :)

Visiting this picturesque location with my colleagues for a project. Such a quiet, beautiful morning in nature. There was, however, a bit of rubble laying around in one specific spot near the water as though people had been there in the week making a fire. Otherwise, it looks generally well kept and perfect for walks and hikes. It is an easy place to locate, following the road signs and there is an open area for parking (park at own risk).

Amazing Art‼️ quite, not crowded the day I visit. How nice is it😊

Very nice place to visit while in Port Elizabeth. The art here is very immaculate and different. Is it nice to see this side of South Africa in the heart of the Windy City. I would recommend anyone to spend 15 to 20 minutes here and marvel at the beautiful art. There is no entrance fee so you have no excuse not to visit.

Area looks dangerous...i dnt recommend getting out of your car... no security on road side.

Very interesting places to see, many empty buildings around to get great photos . But everyone warn us to not walk around. So we couldnt even walk in the park to take some photos.

Be careful!! Local gang pretending to be local security trying to rob you stopping the car and asking you to pay for a permit to get to the airport. They threat to arrest you if you do not comply.

Everything was closed, various plaques for the artworks missing with some of the artworks defaced. The area is not well maintained with trash everywhere. Good views of the bay and city though.

Very beautiful and historical experience

Great reminder of the evils of apartheid, its impact on individuals, families, communities and the religious, cultural and sport groupings of the area. The rich stories of individuals and families on display. Photographs that highlight the destruction of communities. No cost, a request for a donation.

A tiny museum capturing the nostalgia of a positively integrated diverse society as reflected in old South End; and raising our awareness to the utter social destruction that occurs when governance is soiled with evil policy making.

Amazing exhibition. Good reflection on the history of a 1946< South Africa. A lot of the time it seems like only Cape Town was affected, but this was a great reminder of the fact that the entire Country was oppressed by a like minded small group individuals.

"Please look after this bear, thank you" can be seen on the front of a blood stained shirt that once belonged to a little boy killed by the apartheid police. This item and the rest of the museum is a heart wreching reminder of the struggles and injustices that flourished during the apartheid regime. The museum looks back at the once vibrant and bustling community that was South End. Generations of families and businesses were uprooted and displaced under the notorious Group Areas act. All that remains are the photos and paintings preserved in this museum. The museum is pristine and immaculate and a perfect example of a well run institution. Really worth a visit as a reminder of how far our beautiful country has come and how far we still have to go and to remember the trials and tribulations faced by so many of our people.

We didn't spend any time in the Museum at all, but went on a guided walking tour of the South End Precinct - an area made desolate by forced removals of the multi cultural communities that lived there in harmony prior to 1950. It's a sad story, but part of South Africa's history. We were ably guided by Colin Abrahams from the Museum with a wry sense of humour and really in depth knowledge of this area. I also had the good fortune to meet an elderly gentleman who had in actual fact lived there as a child. The most notable sites were the two mosques in the area, the soldiers' graveyard, Malay graves, the ruins of St Peter's Church and a 150 year old fig tree. The Museum is open daily, from 09:00 and from 10:00 over weekends. A worthwhile visit to get a good idea of life in Port Elizabeth before and after the implementation of apartheid laws.

Lovely place, unfortunately missed a few sections due to renovation but that's another reason to go back. Very informative and vivid.

Beautiful museum. Well looked after and clean.very informative.my kids enjoyed the outing.Highly recommend visiting the museum

Great fun for a Saturday morning. Starting at the large circle pavements by the Shark Rock Pier just outside the Pro Dive surf building. You head east along the path just above the beach, until you reach Something Good Restaurant, then you head onto the beach for about 1km then back up to the path, and back to the start point. Grab a finishing token closer to the KFC section and get scanned out. Lovely morning activity. But a bit crowded for me. As it was a school holiday weekend with over 300 people attending.

I really enjoyed doing the PE Hobie Beach Parkrun which set off from the Shark Rock Pier along the Hobie Beach walkway past Something Good Restaurant and along the way to the Lollipop Beacon and back. It usually incorporates a run along the beach at Pollok Beach, but this didn't happen on my occasion due to beach erosion and spring tide damage. It was also fantastic to run my best time here as i usually run in Johannesburg at altitude and being at sea-level was slightly easier for me. I hope to come back soon.

Best Park Run Ever! No wind, beautiful day, flat run, a little beach stretch and Seattle Coffee is across the road. Loved it!!

Stunning scenery and as flat as they come. Beautiful way to start your weekend with this parkrun.

What is good fast run this morning, parkrun was well organized, with run Marshalls all along the route, run is very flat, good run for the fast flat runners out there, the route on the beach was a little difficult, but once I git onto the pavement again it was all guns blazing

Very well organized . Lucky enough to be there for the 10 year anniversary run, a great atmosphere and cupcakes at the finish

What a pleasant experience. Lovely route, great scenery and well organized. This is a large parkrun, over 800 participants in December. Well worth it. Parking might become a problem, so arrive early to ensure parking.

Beautiful place. Well maintained. (Field) I've been coming here for a while now and I have to say, the facilities are top-notch except for the ladies' toilets which need some attention and maybe some toiletpapier wouldn't hurt during events.

Went to see the Sunrisers play against paarl Royals I was sitting in the suite it was amazing view and great service the people were nice and they always tried to make my stay amazing I wish I had the new yersey of the Sunrisers but hopefully next time to a great season and great cricket visit St George's cricket ground they never disappoint

Home of Crusaders.... Other than the venue, pub and sports matches.. We enjoy a casual pitch n play hockey session most Wednesdays... Bring your stick and a black & white shirt.. Of course a catchup in the bar after...

Great atmosphere, parking somewhat difficult if u late. Needs more eateries take aways. Toilets are cleaned regularly although busy at breaks still has enough to cope.

It was a T20 cricket match and the stadium is absolutely beautiful. The food stalls are a bit pricey but the food is too heavenly to miss out

Gorgeous and historical cricket ground with close, fantastic views of the action. Lots of cheap food and beer with excellent service, surrounded by picturesque parklands. A delight of a place.

Great beach with great vibe. There are some shops for eT and drinks like wimpy and kfc. Beach is beautiful.

Beautiful clean beach. A must visit whenever you're here. Eating joints close by with good food and options. Water is clean and swimable. There are no options for a fresh water beach bath. Life guards are present. Good for a family outing.

Nice place to visit for a day of calm and peace. The beach has friendly lifeguards and security team. There's even a chance to catch a glimpse of marine life😃

It's such a wonderful and nice place just to relax and let the time pass.

Nice quiet piece of beach. Kids loved playing in and around the water and rocks.

Beautiful little beach. Looked safe while we were there. Kids could freely enjoy the little waves and the snails passing by.

It's one of the best beaches I have ever visited, it is a best place to visit during your holidays because it is so refreshing, the view is of the top notch, the space which you can play however you want, when you are tired of playing there are restaurants nearby which you can visit and some places which you can play games, you wouldn't regret visiting it

I had the privilege of watching a game from the presidential suite. The food was really good. Staff were quite friendly, except this one lady who was belligerent on being racist, sending black people away for being under-dressed while she would consider letting others in the same dress-style go in, it was appalling. Otherwise, I really enjoyed watching the game from this vantage point.

An amazing stadium, watch out for pickpocketers after events, well looked after and clean. Lots of signage and maps around the stadium to find your seating.

I'm from Pretoria, and I remember coming here for a stadium tour and it was so iconic and modern since it's opening back in 2010, it was insane and I would love coming here again for maybe a rugby game, concert or football game! 🏉⚽

Overall great experience, clean and neat. It was during a Springbok game. Had an amazing day with my son.

What a beautiful stadium! it was my first visit to the stadium to watch the springbok's vs Italy game, it was an awesome experience been in the stadium. While there I captured the beauty of the stadium from above.

PE deserves more tests. Amazing stadium... Needs to improve the food and Bev situation though... Underprepared

However, the overall consensus is that the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is an exceptional venue that hosts thrilling events and offers breathtaking views of the city. Whether you're a sports fan or just looking for a unique experience, this stadium is definitely worth visiting.

Rich experience with knowledgable curator sharing their experience and their was passion was evident in the talks during the 90 minute session. Worth the trip. Although the road into the museum is deserted. No payment required, however donation requested.

Very very interesting. It is a shame that the government doesn't help them with any funding. The place is a bit dilapidated but seeing that it's all run by volunteers it still in good condition. No entry fee just donations.

An aviation well worth a visit. The displays are well presented showing the history of aviation and the SAAF in particular wrt this part of South Africa.

An absolute must visit when in Port Elizabeth. The exhibits were very interesting, but the friendly, informative curators made the visit special.

What a hidden gem! Above little museum with super helpful staff that take so much of pride in this museum. Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours exploring all the amazing aircraft and memorabilia. They also have a flight simulator but check when they have someone available to run it before going. Well worth a visit.

The museum made my day and was a great way to finish off my holiday with one last outing. Everything was mind-blowing - the size of the planes, how complex they are, and all the interesting facts that were displayed next to the planes and parts. I really enjoyed it and found it extremely fascinating. I highly recommend this place. I just wish they would use a real plane hangar to provide more space. Additionally, it would be great if they had something like an R50 to climb into the planes. This would not only help with donations but also boost donations to the place. It's free to enter; they just ask for a small donation to keep the place running.

Very real vintage planes from past wars. Lots of information about various periods in history.

Some very profound pieces and some extraordinary talent. It is very small though and during my visit there was not much art available to be viewed. Luckily the art on display made up for the lack of quantity. I will visit the museum again next time I am here and am hoping there will be more available to be viewed. Entrance is free so worth a look.

Absolutely stunning. The art took my breath away. The collection had so much variety; sculpture, ceramics, photography, clothing, paintings and videos.

Small but beautiful. There are some incredible pieces to view in the art gallery. Entry is free

The museum seemed a bit outdated. When we were there, half of the already kind of small museum was closed for renovations, so it was even smaller. But the entry is free, so I think it's okay. And some of the artworks were quite interesting.

We had an outing with our Community Center, the kids enjoyed the workshop a lot. Teacher Amanda is awesome with the kids. Thank you for having us!

Very small. There is quite a few really good artworks but there is also a lot of artworks which in my opinion arent that aesthetically pleasing. And to me one of the big aspects of a work of art is that it should be at least aesthetically pleasing or challenging. But otherwise the gallery was very neat and clean and stereotypical in a good way.

The gallery houses some very special South African works of art. Not all of the art houses here is always on display. Displays are good and there are seasonal displays to keep things interesting. Well worth a visit..even if just to pass a rainy day away

So we started our hike by the board with the map. It was a beautiful sunny day. Firstly, we decided to keep to the left of the trail along the beach. Please be aware that the trail is not well marked. I really think that this trail can benefit from a few more markers along the way because over the rocks, the path disappears. Anyways, just keep going until you see the towering dunes of Sardinia Bay. It's a really gorgeous beach. 😍 (Not really recommended for swimming though.) We were walking slow and it took us just over an hour to walk just under 4Ks. I noticed that there were a lot of dogs on the trail with their owners especially in the beginning. Unfortunately, I saw some trash (plastic bottles, discarded fishing nets) along the way and on the beach which is really disheartening so please don't litter. 💔😢 Overall the beautiful views of the ocean and sounds of the waves makes this, a must do hike. Would definitely do this again.

Beautiful seaside views. Place for picnics and hike. Can get windy and no shady spots under trees but pretty.

The path is well marked and the circular route takes you to a wonderful sand dune before returning along the ocean. The weather / wind changes constantly as you move along the route. Definitely worth it 😊

Beautiful place to take a walk with the family.

A very safe trail, got home extremely exhausted I enjoyed my time 😭😭😭

Sacramento trail, restaurant and the whole area is such a jewel of a place

It's beautiful, but we got followed and harassed by a drug pusher who wouldn't leave us alone. Luckily, we managed to get back to the car and leave before it got worse. From other reviews, we were probably unfortunate, but it's still a reminder that even in seemingly safe places to always walk in groups, be alert and aware of your options if something happens.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. It’s nice to see all the hard work that the volunteers and staff put in to taking care of the sea birds and their care facilities. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions about the penguins. All donations to SANCOOB are going to a very good place

We loved seeing the penguins and learning more about them. Such a great cause to support. The animals are well cared for and the property is very clean and safe. Great activity for all animal lovers and kids. The coffee shop is also very cute with great art and snacks.

Visited SANCCOB as part as an academic tour with learners from gr. 4 to 7. We were welcomed by the friendly staff and the learners enjoyed the programme. They learned about the African penguin and studied the tidle pools. I will go back there on my own one day. Keep up with the good work guys!

We attended a tour today, the main aim of the outing was for our 8 year old to enjoy the day and learn about penguins.... I think my husband and I had even more fun than her. It was a very informative tour, we were lucky enough to be there for feeding time. It is definitely worth the visit.. the establishment is well maintained and the sea birds are well taken care of. You can see that the staff that we interacted with loves what they are doing. Keep up the good work!

So beautiful and well kept. Penguins are healthy. Sanctuary is clean. Restuarant on site. Friendly people. Not expensive. Tour guide.

Amazing experience and such an important place! 🐧 SANCCOB does incredible work rescuing and rehabilitating penguins and other seabirds. It’s heartwarming to see how much care and love goes into helping these animals recover. A meaningful stop that truly supports wildlife conservation, highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Awesome place. Friendly staff. Tour we'll worth it. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable.

Loved this Beach. Clean , Easily accessible and beautiful views all round

Been here many times. Have always had a pleasant experience. Beautiful little to no trash. The ocean is just gorgeous. Nice hike along the left if you’re facing the beach, have never gone to the end of the hike, but a pretty nice one. Quite windy at times though. Perfect for going on a date, going with family and just hanging out with friends. I have no complaints or at least nothing to nope about. A pretty cool place to go to, I’d definitely suggest it:

Went horseback riding, and our trail led us on the Sardinia Bay Beach. Beautiful dunes, clean beaches, and pereft for family or solo visits. Loved every moment of it.

We discovered this sand dune by chance during our road trip from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, and it was such a great surprise! A short stop, but absolutely worth it — the views were stunning and really impressive.

Clean, peaceful, amazing sunsets and not crowded. Pet friendly and great walks by the beach. Amazing for swimming and a day out at the beach with the family

Wow, simply wow! This is by far my favourite beach as of today. Beautifully clean (4 lovely people were constantly picking up trash), spectacular views, excellent swimming, a lifeguard which is super helpful and friendly (not there the second time we went), dunes (my poor legs) and dog friendly as well. The only negatives I can think of is that the ice-cream by the parking is ridiculously overpriced and that there aren't toilets facilities available. Those two things on their own are not enough to reduce the score though. My kids loved it and we'll be back for sure.

Very beautiful... If youre chasing Sunset and Sunrises. This is the place to be.

My favourite summer spot.

Nice and chilled beach with lower tide push

Beautiful beach, and a nice boardwalk. We enjoyed our scenic view. The beach was safe, clean and well-kept, and maintained.

The beach is pretty beautiful, clean and feels very safe. Great place to jus sit and quietly take in the view.

Quite nice. Very busy. Reminds me of Durban central.

Best place to stay

One of the first stops I always make when in Gqeberha. Lovely views, fresh ocean air and a quick walk on the boardwalk will quickly detox you of your Gauteng worries and put you straight in the easy going and friendly coastal vibes.

Your staff don't know the difference between birding and hiking, and the rates are different. Great birding. Terrible hiking. Just hike early or on a coolish day. The forest is majestic. We just nearly got eaten alive by ants. Wear longs and insect repellent. Well maintained picnic area & trails.

Nice little trail walk. Bring cash for entry permits. 5 different trails to explore from 1km loops and up. There are braai and picnic spots with pretty decent and clean toilet facilities too.

Such friendly, helpful staff and clean facilities. I fetched a tourist guide card and what a pleasure it was to go there. Really impressed!

Enjoyed the visit. Just need to Mark some of the trails a bit better.

What a pity that this place can't be enjoyed by families. It is stunning, my family really loved it. Unfortunately, the cost is terribly unreasonable. Hike for an adult R65 and child is about R45. For the three of us was R175. We also planned to have a braai, however they charge R105 PER PERSON even though we use only 1 braai, not three, in addition to that we obviously have to take all our own chairs braaiwood etc...overall it would have cost a family of three R500, . We went there, and not a single person was utilizing the area on a stunning Sunday afternoon.. it's utterly ridiculous, and it deprives hard-working South Africans of enjoying this place. Edit They have made the price R65pp for use of the braai facility and R65pp for hike. Hope they could consider the package deal.

Variety of trails. Well kept and great picnic area

Beautiful trails well marked we had a great time

There’s not a hell of a lot here, but it is an ancient fort with the original guns still in place and fairly well-maintained There’s no fee for entry and it has some gorgeous views With a bit of imagination, you could turn it into something quite special

It is a great historical land mark in Port Elizabeth. It was clean an tidy when we were there. Recommend a visit if in town

The fort itself is pretty well maintained, however, there were a.lot of unsavory characters hovering around and the security warned us about walking around alone (mom and daughter).

A beautiful historic stone fort built in 1799. It located on a hill with a spectacular view of lower city in Port Elizabeth. It is located at the corner of Fort Street. Open Monday - and Friday 08:30am - 15:30pm. It is closed on Saturdays. It also features a small playground for children and scattered benches.

A true relic of the past. It is well worth a look at, if you have the time. You can also get amazing views of the Port Elizabeth harbour. There is however no information centre at Fort Frederick, so getting a good background information before arriving will help.

Historic site with amazing view of the city. It is very interesting to see the bunkers and little rooms built so many years ago. A must see especially for the local Port Elizabethans. Our city is beautiful Gate closes at 430

It's a brick fort with old cannons. There are no signs telling the history of the place. The view is upon the port and some industrial buildings. In both buildings inside the walls there were people looking like hobos who started yelling when we got nearby. Unpleasant experience.

Was a great experience, even though the lift doesn't work and the bells haven't wrung in many years. Beautifull view from the top. Pitty it's not maintained better and we can do better to market such an historic landmark.

The tower is there, surrounded by a fence and a very unsafe area, we were pulled aside by a car of heakers who asked us to get out of the car and pay by card 10 ZAR. It was obviously a way to still the card pin and number. Don't get out of the car under the bridge! They followed us from the piramid parking place.

Built to commemorate the landing of the settlers in 1820. 204 steps lead to magnificent views of the Harbour and railway lines. Step 67 contains a silver plaque to honor Nelson Mandela and the 67 years he devoted towards a democratic South Africa. Each landing has areas of additional interest and has a feeling of a mini art gallery or museum. Budget friendly as entrance is free. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A hidden gem.

Not a safe place. Area looks run down, and sometimes lots of unsavory looking people sitting and sleeping at the parking area. The harbor security didn't want me to park with the other vehicles outside the harbor entrance. Looks like part of the historic train station has been burned down. Lift in the Campanile doesn't work, and the bells also doesn't work. Some of the art pieces have been torn apart insidetheCampanile.

Wow, wow & wow. If wasting for Geocaching we would never have come here. Well worth the hike up the stairs.

Friendly staff, lots of steps, broken lift and bells not working, due to covid, w.t.f. blame it on bad administration and poor management.

Built to commemorate the first settlers who landed in Port Elizabeth . The tower was closed so we missed the opportunity of going to the top.

Mervin runs a well organized kitchen. Everything is where it should be. The kitchen is extremely clean and higiene is a priority to all the staff.

Fantastic atmosphere, supportive of clean energy with Electric Vehicle charging stations supported by Tesla and Audi. Great restaurant at surprisingly low cost.

What a fantastic golf course. Eimd was tough but great day and beautiful course

Gem of a course. True links. Great conditioning. Friendly staff. So well priced for a top 10 good course. Brilliant

I am super disappointed at the service I got today while I was on the main road outside the golf club, my car was hit by a ball and my windscreen is cracked and guess what they told me they can't help me because it didn't happen inside their premises while the ball came from their premises💔

Humewood is a really fantastic golf club & golf course.

Awesome Golfing experience. Thanks to Aurick Swaartbooi for taking on board an amateur like me and training me. Golfers 🏌️‍♂️ mind their own business and chat with you if you open to chat. I enjoyed it such that I'm now buying Golf clubs.

This use to be such a wonderful and enjoyable hike, but unfortunately the long route is completely overgrown to the point that you have to crawl at some areas. Will update the review once this issue has been addressed. Would love to see it maintained again.

A beautiful, very wild trail experience. The setting is unique in many ways, as you trek through very dense bush along the coast. Beware the spiders early in the morning as you dodge the webs built overnight. The trails were well signposted and it really feels 'raw' and completely unspoiled.

The longer hike is quite tough if you're not fit! We took a wrong path at one point. The trail markings were not too great. We encountered a hive of bees, very angry bees! They had made their nest in a tree trunk that you needed cross over. Any bump they attacked with vengeance. Got sung 7 times, fortunately I not allergic. However, for those that are, I don't recommend you attempt that longer trail! Beautiful scenery, though.

Great hiking spot. Did the 9km and it was more challenging than expected. It's got great mountain and ocean views although some parts of the trail aren't properly marked or have clear pathways. I'd definitely recommend going in a group or bringing some pepper spray. The area is quite secluded and we saw some indicators that someone might be living there. Overall it was a good experience, great to hear the birds and revel in nature. I'd definitely do the hike again, just in a larger group.

Beautiful hiking trial in our own backyard! Awesome trials in the woods with ocean views and nature scenes. Take a quick 3km hike before breakfast or take on the longer 9km trial for maximum views. Really a beautiful area to go and be within nature and forget about the city for a bit.

The hiking trail starts off absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. However, as you continue further into the 9km route, the trail becomes very dense with trees and overgrowth, making the path hard to see and follow. There are also areas where you need to crawl under low-hanging branches or through tight spaces, which can be quite tricky and uncomfortable — especially if you're not prepared for it. More signage is definitely needed along the trail, as it’s easy to feel unsure whether you’re still on the right path. We ended up getting lost on the way back, and parts of the return route are genuinely dangerous. One wrong step and you could easily slip down the mountain. The trail has great potential, but safety improvements and clearer markings are really necessary. Proceed with caution, especially if you're not an experienced hiker.

Beautiful, easy hike

Very dangerous place for tourists. Don’t go there it’s closed since 2013! No one should go there.

The Place Is Closed, It Would Be Wise For Investors To Try To Open It Again

I just went to visit the place, I did not make any bookings.

Another good idea which has gone to waste.. abandoned.

Very historical landmark. Very affordable accommodation for big numbers.

Looks neat and organized from the out side

It has vast History of Red Location and fallen heroes of fighting against apartheid regime

AMAZING! WONDERFUL! VALUE for money safari 100%. Book a 'Tooth & Claw Safari' directly with them. Passionate and knowledgeable qualified guids who knows the animals and their behavior very well keep you safe and in awe. Wonderful meal at Lapa before returning home. I would highly recommend booking accommodation at Schotia as well as you don't have to drive at night. Children of all ages welcome.

Unbelievable experience we had at Schotia, 2 days of pure joy watching all the animals close by! Really well organized, the dinners are fantastic and sleeping in your own mini campground between freely walking animals like rhino's, hippo's, antilopes, wildebeast was a unique and joyfull experience! Great staff and rangers as well! Don't think twice, just book this experience!!!

We had an amazing time with the full day safari that we booked with Schotia Safaris. First part of the day was a visit to Addo Elephanh park, we were literally surrounded by hundreds of elephants, only 1 meter from our van! A truly unforgettable experience which I would highly recommend to anyone. During lunch BBQ was served with cold beers & wine. In the afternoon we visited Schotia Game Reserve with our guide Zane. This was the best guide you could imagine. Very knowledgeable and funny person which made our tour 1000 times better. In the evening there is a lovely dinner served in the park itself. This day was one of the highlights of our trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Schotia Safaris. Our guide (Edward) was knowledgeable and funny - he ensured we had a pleasant stay. The food was delicious and we enjoyed meeting other guests around the campfire at night - songs were sung and sighting-highlights of the day were discussed. Whilst the accommodation we had booked was rustic, we thought the Bush Camp was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the experience of sleeping inside a gamepark was thrilling! The guided tours were well led by Edward, whose game vehicle was well-prepared for all weather by having both blankets and ponchos available for when it rained. Schotia’s close proximity to Addo allowed us to enter the National Park for a day as well. Our highlights at Schotia included seeing lions eating a waterbuck, laughing around the fire, the bush walk and of course the great food. Would definitely recommend - a huge thanks to Justin for having us, and Edward for guiding us.

Tooth and claw drive recommended by lodge owner. Amazing experience. 4 hour drive with Scott. Very passionate and knowledgeable. Followed by meal and drinks around open fire. Arrived about 2.30 left 9.30. So much to see. Loved every part of the experience

We did the tooth and claw tour with Zane, started 14:00 and ended at 20:00. What a knowledgeable and passionate guide. The vehicle was comfortable and water and a blanket provided at every seat. We saw a huge number of animals which was amazing and we got super close to get some awesome pics. We stopped for refreshments around 16:00 then headed back into the park. At 18:00 made our way to the lappa, a beautiful camp in the middle of the park where dinner was prepared for us. After dinner we did a night drive back to the main entrance. This tour was such a lovely experience and highly recommend Schotia Safaris. They really offer the most remarkable tour and provide you with all the information about all of the animals. Big thank you to Jenny & Peter and of course our guide Zane. We can’t wait to do it again

Wat an amazing place this is. Was here in 2012 and now back. Our ranger Andries was so nice. I would recommend you ask for him! He had a lot to tell and show us. The dinner and music was lovely as was the cat. The accommodation was also very cosy, it was nice to go to sleep and wake up with the sound of birds.

Such a lovely venue! Great for kids and families. Addicted to their flapjack stack and it’s always our go to stop when on the way to Port Elizabeth. Service was abit slow, had a hard time getting the attention of the waitron at times. Wide variety and a cute farm stall selling fresh goods and flowers.

Always have a lovely time at Grass Roof! I visited for my first time in 10 years and they’ve really expanded the space, it’s awesome now. Food and drinks are wonderful, and I love their little farmstand store. Highly recommend!

Adore Grass Roof. I come here for a weekly 5k walk on the trail, to the restaurant for breakfasts and cake, to the shop to pick up fresh flowers (and slush puppies!), and to the kiddies side for birthday parties. This is such an awesome part of PE.

The grass roof is a truly lovely destination for those looking for a bite to eat, or something fun to do on the weekend. The venue is peaceful and pet friendly and houses a restaurant, coffee shop and farm stall, as well as a few hiking trails for those more adventurous. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

First time at Grass Roof, 85 of us. The food quality is very good. Burgers are really good and Pizza and nice and thin and crispy. Well worth a trip!!

The Beef Burger was devine amd very good value. The Yellow Juice (pineapple and apple) was very watery and not as expected. Overall very good.

Our waitress was the best!!!! Friendly and very helpful... Place was packed but still recieved good service...

Small island in the sea at P.E. Beautiful stone formation with lots of birds.

Went with Raggy Charters and loved every second of the trip

The island boasts a unique and spectacular bird population

Pigeon population reduced quite a lot

(Translated by Google) Island where penguins live (Original) ペンギンが住む島

This is a nice mall. It has every shop you could need. It has plenty of restaurants and a food court. There is also a nice games area for kids with 10 Pin Bowling and Bumper Cars. The circular design of the mall is great. When browsing all the shops, you end up back where you started so don't need to trek all the way back.

A nice big mall. Love the arcade area and the go carting on the second floor. A nice mall but just out in the middle of nowhere really. Some really good safe parking though.

This mall is big and has stores to meet every need from clothing and pharmacies to odd and ends and entertainment. The bathrooms are clean and they have a good variety of eating places too! There is an indoor crafts market selling leather bags, smoked cheese, dried fruits and nuts, art etc. I’d definitely visit again 😁

One of the best malls, I buy everything there when i am in Port Elizabeth

Overall not a bad mall, but for YEARS now I get the feeling that the Air-conditioning in this mall is not fully functional. I can't spend more than an hour without starting to feel hot, like there's zero fresh air inside the building. Thought with the new owners taking over this would've been solved, but still a problem

Situated along N2 towards Cape Town if one is from Cape Town and all Towns along N2 is the first Mall when you enter Gqeberha the mall is big has all the shops . The place is clean and welcoming from outside and inside. Due to the fact that is a busy place it has paid parking lot. The place is is also a tourist attraction. I will always recommend tourist to visit the place when they are around Gqeberha they will not regret visiting the place .

Very spacious and clean shopping 🛒 mall with plenty of well-known stores housed under one roof. Safe for shopping and secure parking available. They only give 50MB free WiFi data (which is not enough as compared to other malls). But might be helpful to request electronic services.

What a fun experience! From families to friends,a very nice outing. The animals are in a good state, everything is clean and looks well taken care of. Enterance is R35 per persoon, R15 for a bucket of food and there was a dinosaur exhibit for an additional R15. We loved everything. We had the chicken and mushroom quiche with salad and chips, which was 11/10! Would go back even jusy for the food!! +- 3 hours visit.

We so enjoyed our visit at Homeleigh Farm. The kids and adults enjoyed the tractor ride extremely!!! The animals are real cute, just the little Lama looks a bit sick. The food is affordable and the food court is so pretty. Very cozy. Love this place. Will recommend families to come here

Best place to visit when in or around Port Elizabeth. Friendly staff, great food and an even better atmosphere! Never has disappointed

Amazing experience with my family. The little animals were super cute and the horses were magnificent.

Great day out especially for children. Wonderful play area to keep the kids busy. The farm animals were cute especially the piglet that followed everyone and the donkeys. The place was well maintained and clean and tidy. The food was delicious and do try the apple tart it's the best I had in years. Friendly staff and lots of seating areas under shade for the hot weather.

A great place to bring the young kids for the day. Lots of things to do and animals to feed. Awesome play area with multiple old school jungle gyms, rides and trampolines. Lots of extra rides like the tractors and ponny available. Decent coffee shop with a good menu and good prices. Also available for kids party hire.

Such a lovely place! Our boy especially loved the donkeys & the pony ride. This is a great outing for kids & even adults who just love animals. The goats were so cute. They have a large variety of different animals and lots of space and the tea garden is so pretty. Loved it :)

A must-visit indoor activity for tourists with families/couples with an adventurous streak! Perfect outing for cloudy / rainy days! Kids allowed to climb from 7 years up only. They made an exception for our 4 yr old when it was abit quiet. Entrance fee is +-R160 p/person. Closes at 8.30 pm. Kids really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

We took our 8-year-old daughter to experience climbing for the first time. She had an absolute blast!! Friendly people and such a cool vibe all around! Her instructor was fantastic and she felt comfortable and safe at all times!

It was my first time climbing, and I didn't even feel it! Everyone was super helpful, and soon enough I had gotten the hang of it. It's a great environment where everyone is offering their support, sharing their wisdom and advice, giving climbing tricks and tips. You never feel out of place or as an outsider. Absolutely loved the experience! Will be visiting more frequently. I also attended the Bubbly tasting Yoga experience with Kez and The wineshed. What an amazing time we had, tasting different bubbly wines whilst immersed in deep relaxing yoga ! This is a combo everyone should experience in their lifetime.

My boys loved it

My first time at Valley Crag! I had such a lovely time with my friends here!!! Although, I would recommend that you warm up your wrists if you've never been. My wrists were protesting for days. They have climbing shoes for you and chalk for good grip. You have options as to the difficulty level to which you're exposed. You can climb with or without a harness and there are lockers to store your personal effects. You can purchase water for when you're dying from your workout. The staff are extremely patient and encouraging. I will definitely check it out again. Visit their website to choose the type of climbing experience best for you.

Now this is a great place for anyone who wants to climb indoor, from a rank beginner to a Derek Marshall type climber. There is something for everyone to climb. I find them very friendly and quick to offer a belay or simple guidance on what to do. End it off with a quick coffee and chat before departing.

We want to thank the ValleyCrag team for the most memorable 8th birthday party for our son Liam. Everyone enjoyed it so much, all the kids and the parents watching too. Everything was just perfect. The instructor Sihle deserves a 10star rating, he was awesome with the kids and at how he explained everything and even in Afrikaans at times to accommodate everyone. Both instructors were great. The guy hanging upside down received a big applause from all of us, great skills. Thank you again to everyone involved at ValleyCrag. Kind regards Brendon, Marilize & Liam Pattinson

Beautiful city, jist needs a little bit of maintenance

The Port Elizabeth City Hall is a complex of churches, library, and other administrative office buildings. The design of the City Hall was well conceived as it serves the community.

Amazing City, with great history...the people are absolutely lovely.

It's a nice place however, it needs some advance Landscaping to attract tourist.

A rather pleasant experience. Very helpful people. Very clean too.

Top and most of the activities in the city we hold it here and the safety is guarantee.

Surprised to come across this statue. Read the book written by John Buchan.

This trail walk 🚶‍♀️ would be awesome and certainly appreciated more if the city dedicated themselves to preserving nature's environment. Vagrants use the reserve for "camping," and the river for "bathroom needs," and this is a huge disappointment 😞 the park needs some TLC with regard to how it is being maintained. No ablution facilities anymore 😢 Walking in a large group is definitely recommended for safety reasons as this is a "free-for-all" reserve!

The last time my family and I visited this park was in December 2022 for a picnic. We walked through the park still enjoying the beauty of nature but were thoroughly saddened by the complete lack of maintenance. Alien trees have been removed but nothing had been planted to replace them. There used to be a nursery that provided plants for the reserve. That clearly no longer is happening. We found the exhibit building in the main entrance area which used to display specimens of flora from the park has becone a drug den with used needles scattered on the floor. After our walk we decided to picnic near the parking lot. Let's just say that strange things were happening as vehicles came and went. Not to mention the shenanigans behind the 'drug den building'. The security was questionable and didn't make the park safer. In fact I think that they were party to the goings on there. We decided never to return and waved a sad goodbye to a place that we had spent most of our lives visiting. Our Municipality should be ashamed of themselves for neglecting this beautiful asset and treasure to our city.

Not properly maintained. Go in groups of three or more. I was uneasy the whole time but I had a person who knows the park with.

We visited a few days back and there are no signs on Trail, not maintained at all. There was litter everywhere and shitty water on track with bad smell.

Super outdoor spot for anyone who enjoys walking, running, biking. The trails are clear but do go in groups, try not to venture out alone. Lots of birdlife and lush green vegetation. Park needs a whole lot of work to get back to its former glory, but still a very nice place to visit.

Really beautiful. Valley of desolation is breath taking. Loads of animals to see.

Rain cought us but it was nice

Auto Pavilion is a well showcased step back in time of VW’s long heritage and association with Uitenhage, with beautifully restored VW’s that were part of our culture. The factory is Home to the VW Polo variant. What a awesome experience to see how a world class factory operates. Along with being a important part of South Africa 🇿🇦 history.

Worth the visit spend time soaking in VW history in South Africa only open weekdays and it's free entry with a factory tour that's also free ...factory tour no phones allowed

What a wonderful experience.To think that VW goes to so much trouble for the public and do it all for free

Visiting from Gauteng ,Vaal and my son is a car fanatic ...he was in he's element Was a little bit disappointed that the factory workshop was closed but that did not disappoint as we toured both floors of beautiful selection of vehicles and more..what a treat and well worth the trip from Summerstrand if you are a car enthusiasts

What an informative tour that was... ver interesting and I just want to go work there and each and every department they were all welcoming and too friendly😍😍😍😍

Great place to visit if you a VW person. The factory tour is a must Book in advance as there is slot times. It's all free. And the staff running it is great👌

The tour was quite interesting (and free). Not allowed to take pics on the tour, but you can in the museum. There are also some nice racing games to play after...

Absolutely incredible, the curator was extremely friendly and the cottage so well looked after.

A definite must!!! Absolutely gorgeous house furnished in the 1800's. It feels like you are living in that era from the first moment you enter.

Such a great museum. Well looked after & helpful staff. Well worth the visit.

Nice place. Very interesting collection. Staff is very welcoming.

Such an interesting historical landmark. Has been restored beautifully and the upkeep hasn't slacked off. We had the privilege of being there at night to record a video for our YouTube channel with the cooperation of Bayworld, who actually owns the building. Definitely worth a visit during their operating hours.

A stunning piece of history that's been beautifully preserved with an option of a tour guide but to also go at ones own pace with a map. The lifesize mannequins are great for getting a feel for life during the late 1800s, early 1900s. A definite must-see at an incredibly low price.

One of the oldest houses in Port Elizabeth RSA. Now a museum. It was completed about 1830. The museum illustrates domestic life as it may have been enjoyed in the mid-19th Century. Give yourself enough time to browse each room and drink in the life way back when. A genteel life. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Children are encouraged to find items throughout the house. It is most instructive.

Only a statute, but as all attractions in PE, it is not kept in good condition. But it is a save area and a 5 minute stop.

Please do more for the monument!! 🙏🏼

When time comes to fulfill what joy is purpose to his people

Sad to say its not been well kept though.Such a historic site needs proper care and maintenance. Municipality is really neglecting this area of Pe this losing on tourism potential

Interesting but not in a nice spot and it is neglected

This is not technically about the Horse Memorial, but about a hawker that can be found close by, only occasionally. I am totally fascinated by this woman - Betty - who occasionally sells mealies from her Merc. So I stopped and had a chat to her today. Turns out she's originally from Zim, but drives through from G-Town when she has stock - which is supplied by local farmers in the area. At R11 for a massive mealie, it's worth popping in to support her efforts. You can find her on the corner of Rink Street and the little slip road opposite the Engen garage in Central - just before the Horse Memorial. Previous reviews on this site have mentioned the dodginess of the area. Please be on the lookout for thugs and hooligans and keep valuables hidden.

This art effect is very well situated in the road leading from town to the business hub of Port Elizabeth. This art effect is built in memory of the horses used by the British in the South African War.

Loved it. View spectacular. Walks wonderful. A must to see.

Nice windy place.. Enjoy winds and crashing waves which makes water blast... Sea sound... Good for camping

Great views interesting place to visit.

Fresh air, educational and well worth the visit.

Awesome views

My favourite place

A jewel awaits

This place has been massively improved. This is a PE icon, and much loved for decades, the owners have made this place world-class. The food is great and well-priced. They have great coffee, loads of chips and snacks, burgers, boerie rolls, toasted sandwiches and loads more. The slides and every part of the grounds and facilities have been improved. It's clean, it's well run, it's fun, it's better than it's ever been. Do yourself a massive favour and visit this place. 😁 They cater for braai's and parties, and there are shaded benches and very comfortable spots to relax. Absolutely brilliant time!!

So much fun for the kids. A high slide and super tube for the braver older kids and a mini super tube, slides and splash pools available for the little ones and those more cautious by nature. Plenty of lifeguard supervision. Very clean and well maintained. A great day out for the kids and very reasonably priced. Not a very big waterpark but certainly worth the while for those seeking something to do close to the beach.

Loved it. Staff are friendly. Benches and shady areas provided, also great that one can take in your own food and drink, except for glass and alcohol products (which is also a plus IMHO 😊)

Nice, small water park. 1 big waterslide that is great, 1 steep slide, 1 lazy river slide and 4 or 5 smaller kid's slides. We had a lot of fun.

Lovely, fun, and well maintained... Pity they don't have toilets inside.

Excellent for a fun day out with the kids. Plenty of slide attendances/life gaurds on duty. You can take your own snack yet there is a tuck shop

Hugh fun for the kids. Limited shade - bring chairs, gazebos/umbrella. Braai spots available. Friendly staff. Safe for all ages

I went there for a church gathering, and i didn't go on the train by choice, but it was such a lovely picnic spot, even if I didn't go on it had such a nostalgic vibe to it where families could go and have a great time without any distractions like traffic or loud noises, the only thing you could hear was kids laughing parents going around with their children. I would highly visit that people come and visit if they have children for a great break from busy life. The only reason 4/5 is due to the lack of benches under cover for the amount of families there but the grounds were perfect if you had brought a picnic blanket.

One of the best family experiences in Port Elizabeth. A wonderful place staffed by volunteers and people who have a true passion for what they do. Kids and adults ride on a miniature railway line on a variety of trains. Some petrol some steam powered. It even passes through an actual tunnel. It is extremely affordable. Bring your own picnic blanket and chairs on busy days.

A lot of fun for the kiddies and adults can also ride on the miniature train. Nice spacious outdoor venue to host kids parties.

Fun for everyone. Real small train and carriages able to carry people around the railway line and to the train station. Please note the days that it is open, or make a special arrangement for your group.

Had such an awesome time riding on the train with my son and grandson,brought back so many good memories

Grandkids love the train rides, good wors rolls.

Awesome day to end the week off, friendly and fun!

Well worth a visit here. The staff need to he a bit more friendly, but the story of Uitenhage is told here with the historical pieces on display. My grandfathers drum set is also on display here and it really is nostalgic to walk through this old building. One can smell the history in the scent of the interior and hear it in the creaks of the wooden floors. Highly recommend.

We had a birthday function there.I think some improofments still needs to be done to make it a great place again.Someone almost fell because of the faulty steps and no lights at the back.

Always a pleasure to look at the history of our small town Uitenhage and various vintage information

Place close, while it show open on website, old building and surroundings dirty and gardens a mess..no need to waste your time driving there. Museum close!

Place looks neglect. It was closed and no notice if they still operate

The collection is not so much and the presentation is kind of boring

Illustrating the history of Uitenhage, it is one of the places well worth a visit.

We made use of the church's garden of remembrance as non-members of the church. Very friendly and dignified service from the staff and the residing reverend. Well pleased. Safe and well cared for garden of remembrance.

Very good school for all the children. Teachers are very kind and lovingly. I chose the right school for my son who matriculated many years ago and I didn't hesitate to place his little boy in this school.

My Son and Daughter-in-law had their wedding in the chapel. The minister gave a lovely service, stunning venue and lovely location. We even got to ri g the church bell! Thank you to all who made our little event so special!

Have always enjoyed Warren's sermons. His sermons are always very insightful, uplifting and positive. Sad to hear that he is re locating to Plett. Our loss but their gain. Wish him and his family all the best as they enter this journey and new chapter of their lives. God bless.

The service was great. Coffee, tea and eats were served after the service, but unfortunately no fellowship. Only the Reverend greeted us. Thank you for the fantastic service.

I'm biased towards them...I love this institution

A place where you really feel like part of the family. A caring congregation who welcome all with a smile. This church is non-denominational and offer thought provoking and educational sermons from exceptional ministers which always leave you feeling closer to God. I highly recommend this church to anyone and everyone looking to grow in their relationship with the Lord.

This is a mess and destroyed, please close this mess down, as SA cant keep it in a good condition, as money is stolen and no effert made to keep places for the future generations. Place was close and people use the front as a sleeping place and toilet.

Wow, went all the way to the Museum to find out it’s not open anymore. Pls update your website. From the outside it looks like one big mess. Another thing that is destroyed

This place is neglected. Building fall apart and engines need lots of attention

This place is closed over a weekend when families want to visit.The area in front is dirty

The steam Locomotive Nia the orange tank engine

Brought back many memories. Engins need a lot of restoration.

Needs a renovation and some repairing on the trains .

Best place to get your souvenirs with friendly staff and management.

George has a customer service ethic that goes above and beyond. My group and I were amazed at his hospitality while we were in his store in 2022. Then I went and forgot something in town when I left to go back to Canada. Not only did my air bnb host help me out by taking it to Wozanni for me but This amazing man held on to it for me and gave it to my friends that went back there March 2025. Thank you so much for being the great person that you are George! Bless you and your team. Sherry and Tim

So pleased this wonderful place is still open! There's a huge range of beautiful art, wooden animals, bowls, and all sorts of items from Africa, at very reasonable prices. And the young lady who helped me was so friendly and helpful! Definitely worth a visit!

Very helpful staff. The art is awesome and excellent quality.

Lots of locally made crafts from around South Africa and the rest of southern Africa.

Everything it’s really beautiful and the owner so lovely, thank you so much! It was a pleasure to be there.

Great staff, great products, I bought a ton of stuff.
