King's Park
Opened by the Prince of Wales in 1925, King's Park boasts over
4,000 beautiful rose bushes, and is thus well placed as
Bloemfontein literally means 'flower fountain' and is often
referred to as the 'city of roses'. King's Park is also home to the
Bloemfontein Zoo and its fascinating 'liger' (an African lion
crossed with a Bengal tiger). There is an arts and crafts market at
King's Park on the first Saturday of each month, another must for
visitors.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
Opening Times
The park is open 8am to 5pm daily
