The Two Oceans Aquarium is a window into the spectacular
oceans surrounding the southern African coast. Situated in the V&A
Waterfront, the Aquarium offers its visitors the amazing opportunity to explore
below the waterline.
Through displays ranging from the small and almost
fantastical Knysna seahorses, to large ragged-tooth sharks, the Aquarium holds
wondrous discoveries around every corner. Meet the brave fish that call the
cold Atlantic Ocean their home – and the brightly coloured ones that live in
the warm Indian Ocean.
Be mesmerised by the swaying of the giant kelp in the aptly
named Kelp Forest Exhibit- one of only three living kelp forest displays in the
world. Or come face-to-face with giant spider grabs and have an adventurous
tactile experience at the Touch Pool.
Take the little ones to the Afrisam Activity Centre where
they can do arts-and-crafts, play on the modular climbing unit, watch a puppet
show or just colour-in. All of this while they learn about our oceans and the
wonderful animals that live in them.
For those qualified, there is the opportunity to dive in the
I&J Predator Exhibit with ragged-tooth sharks, a turtle named Joshi and
shoals of other predatory fishes. If you have an advanced qualification, diving
in the Kelp Forest is one of the things that you must be able to tick off on
your “must-do-someday-list”. Booking is essential for the dives and can be done
by emailing bookings@aquarium.co.za.
The Two Oceans Aquarium Shop has a wide range of gifts and
souvenirs. From t-shirts to soft toys, there’s a gift for everyone.
Shoreline Café provides scrumptious meals for young and old.
The restaurant includes a dedicated children’s play centre
(with climbing play unit and arts-and-crafts) which will keep the little ones
entertained while mom and dad catch their breath over a cup of coffee.
Shoreline Café serves scrumptious breakfasts and lunch and is open from 09:00
until 18:00 daily.
