  Awesome! The displays are very well maintained and clean and all the animals are treated well. All the displays give really interesting information for visitors. The staff really seem to care about their charges. It's great fun to take your kids with and their mouths will hang open in awe the whole time! There are many initiatives to educate people, in a fun way, about keeping our oceans clean and healthy. Some displays are interactive and pretty well executed. The kids area is very cool with a sandpit, half view of the penguin exhibit and halfway submerged for a great display of shaol fish. It can get busy but just take it easy and appreciate what is a fun and informative day out. As an aside, be careful of the adjacent restaurant which charges ridiculous amounts for basic food, I think they try to milk the tourists where they can.

  Such an amazing day out! The people are so friendly. There was this one volunteer, Barbi, who was just such a star. She gave great information and answered any questions we had. Super friendly! Was wonderful interacting with her. Loved the exhibitions and the penguin feeding. It's really such an awesome trip to do.

  The aquarium is obviously great for young kids. On a older level I do however wish the lights were off in the areas with the big tanks to give a better atmosphere. You can get some great photos with the light coming from the tanks. All in all it is a good experience if you haven't been there. I would like to see it expand to have more things in the future.

  The aquarium itself is a well-done exhibit. They highlight species and undersea flora from the meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. 2 hours is a reasonable amount of time to read the majority of the information and get very nice photographs. The aquarium is definitely aimed to please children, so those with families will not want to miss out. Those without, you may be a bit underwhelmed.

  A great activity to do with or without kids. You are guaranteed to be entertained when visiting the Two Oceans Aquarium. I loved feeding time at the Penguin Exhibit (11:30 and 14:30). Entry is R175 for adults and for kids, from R85 to R130 (age dependent). If you'd like to visit the aquarium on a regular basis, you can purchase an annual membership for R425 per adult and between R210 and R330 for kids. Membership has extra perks like discounts at the shop and certain food outlets, as well as invitations to members only sleep overs and yacht trips!
