The most majestical experience of a glimpse of the ocean! It's definitely the most breathtaking aquarium I've ever been to. It's not only an educational experience, but it's almost like you're in another world whilst being in there. At each tank viewing area, there are comfortable couches and auditorium style seating - I'd suggest you take a breather, sit for a while, and reflect on how amazing God and his creations are. It's not the biggest aquarium but there is so much to see - we spent about 4 hours here. There is a kids play room, touch pools, and a fossil discovery area which is interactive and exciting for the kids. You're probably thinking this is just for kids, no its not. The kid in us will always remain! It's picturesque, so if you love photography, this is ocean heaven. There are other activities available like scuba diving and snorkeling - visit the website for more details and book in advance. If you live in Cape Town or surrounds, there is an affordable annual membership fee that gives great discounts for the tickets, activities, and unlimited visits. There is no food allowed, but there is a Bootleggers Cafe inside should all the walking work up an appetite - their coffee and cakes are delicious. If you want to stretch your money out or you're on a budget, entry is free on your birthday, including 6 days after. There is also a R60 discount on the ticket price after 3 pm. Enjoy!

The last time my daughter and I visited the Aquarium, she was still in daycare. It's a wonderful place with so much to see, offering a great experience for children of all ages. However, I find the entry photographs to be extremely expensive. It would be nice if locals could pay a reduced rate.

It's small and cozy, but it's a perfect place for a day with kids when it's ugly outside. It has a lot of little nooks and crannies, where your children can let loose and have some time, free to play and have fun. As far as varieties of fish, it's small, nothing extremely interesting for those of you that love to go to aquariums, but it's good for a rainy day. Also, if for some reason you cannot go see the penguins in their natural habitat at the beach.This is a good place to see them up close.

I recently had the mesmerizing experience of visiting the two oceans aquarium in Cape Town and it was truly breathtaking! As I walked through the doors, I was immediately transported to an underwater world teeming with life and color. The variety of marine life on display and the vibrant fish darting through the coral. The aquarium's clever use of lighting and surroundings created an immersive experience, making me feel as though I was swimming alongside these incredible creatures. The highlight of my visit was watching a school of shimmering silver fish swim in unison, their scales catching the light like a thousand tiny diamonds. It was a truly magical experience that left me in awe of the beauty and wonder of the ocean and its inhabitants. The sharks and penguins are all amazing creatures to witness. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for something magical to experience and enjoy.

First visited the aquarium 10 years ago to take my kids there when they were small. It's still amazing, even though it hasn't changed much. My teenagers enjoyed it as much now as back then. Will definitely recommend it. It's a must for anyone who hasn't been there before. Lovely little shop to buy some memorabilia and fluffy toys.
