Great place to visit. We arrived around 10am and stayed until 4pm. We got lucky to be in time for the penguins and sharks feeding. The best part was the talk about conservation work to protect these animals, very educational. Excellent to make children (and adults too) more aware of environmental topics. At the end you can buy souvenirs at their store or go for the restaurant right next to the exit.

I've been coming here for 16 years and I still love it! I've been to a few other aquariums and this has to be one of the best.

Definitely recommend coming here, for all ages. The aquarium is actually also pretty large, took us around 1-2 hours to do.

The sharks were my favorite! 🦈

I went on a weekday and barely had lines. I was able to buy my tickets and enter in less than 10 minutes. It has a lot of galleries with different animals displayed, with focus on preservation and raising awareness, so its a nice work in consciousness. It is very varied and a beautiful experience, specially with kids or if you really enjoy watching water life. There are sharks, penguims, jellyfish, stingrays and of course different kind of fishes. Watching the jellyfish is a very soothing experience.

We visited the aquarium for a family day out and had an incredible experience. There were so many different fish and marine animals to see—it was truly fascinating!

I’d highly recommend visiting an aquarium of this size at least once in your life. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a fun and adventurous day.

Quite interesting 😊 informative experience though there were no audio guides ,had to read on the wall .

wheelchair  friendly and it's a good place to bring kids, a lot of walking , l had to see ocean creatures up close  💖 oh sharks  and they also had  places to take a break

However I still think the prices are quite ridiculous for something you are not gonna get any deep information or someone explaining to you about exactly what you are watching and on top of that they still want you to buy a  photo for R400 👏
