I am truly, massively disappointed as a South African even for tourist visting Im embarrassed. I have been there 20 years ago, it was spectacular, birds and massive parrots flying all over. This year Friday the 27th December 2024 visited Birds of Eden again with my family and kids with the thought of 20 years ago. Firstly, my wife, I and 3 boys, over R 1300 entrance fee. The place inside still looks spectacular but we only saw a handful of birds and no big parrots. Then we decided to eat there, what a disappointment. Almost everything on the menu is R 99.00. We waited over 45 minutes for our food, 3 Cheese Hamburgers and 2 Prego burgers. Eventually we asked the waiter, then we received our food. For our burgers en 5 drinks, far over R 600. Can't talk for our kids on taste as they were hungry but our burgers were a total disaster, cant call the sauce prego sauce, buns fell apart when you hold it as a indication the buns must be old, the bugers were plain. Surly when you go, spend over R 2000 to visit a place for 2 hours, the food at least must be of very good standard and quality and taste like something, not plain waiting over 45 minutes, must see more birds than what we saw and at least what I have seen 20 years ago. Spending over R 2000.00 for that with food, it's ridiculous and we're so disappointed for that amount of money spend.
