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.

Opening times: The park is open 8am to 5pm daily
