The Old Schuur Interpretive Centre

The Old Schuur Interpretive Centre at the Karoo National Park is in an old farm building, which has been renovated to its original form dating back to the 1800s.  It is near the camping site and accessible via a beautiful wooden boardwalk over marshy lands.

The centre has displays and information about the flora and fauna of the Karoo, the ecological and cultural history of the Park and tells of some of the history of the area.  The items on display bring the early habitation of the area to life, while some old agricultural equipment items shows what farming was like many years ago.

The Interpretive Centre is a great source of information for teachers, learners and visitors who want to learn more about the magnificent fossil and geological heritage of the Great Karoo.
