You're in luck. This town is full of exciting, hands-on adventures for children—and stress-free moments for parents. Here's a full-day itinerary perfect for little explorers.

Start your day with a visit to Helderberg Farm. This working farm offers strawberry picking in season, pony rides, a petting zoo, and wide-open spaces for kids to run and explore. The farm also has shaded picnic areas and walking trails ideal for energetic families.

Next, head over to play some Putt-Putt at Lourensford's 18-hole adventure course. Enjoy a great cup of coffee and the natural outdoor beauty while your kids soak up the sun and fun.

For lunch, just pop across to the Mill House Kitchen to enjoy fantastic food and scenery. If you happen to be there on a Saturday make sure to pop into the Lourenford Market to taste some local (and international) delicacy's and treats.

After lunch, take the family to Monkey Town Primate Centre. It's home to over 700 animals, including monkeys, lemurs, and reptiles. Guided tours offer up-close animal encounters and educational insights that kids love.

End your day Strawberry Picking or Cheetah Outreach—two exciting options depending on your children's interests. Strawberry picking at Helderberg Farm is relaxed and tasty, while Cheetah Outreach provides a unique opportunity to learn about big cat conservation.
