Two Oceans Aquarium, Western Cape, South Africa

4.0 (5.307 reviews) Sunday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #18 in Western Cape Aquariums

Thank you Two Oceans!

The Two Oceans Aquarium is a window into the spectacular oceans surrounding the southern African coast. Through displays ranging from the small and almost fantastical Knysna seahorses, to sea turtles and shoals of shimmering fish, the aquarium holds wondrous discoveries around every corner. Come face-to-face with giant spider crabs and have an adventurous tactile experience at the Touch Pool. Be sure to visit the I&J Ocean Exhibit, with its 9m long window, and 10m long full tunnel. Qualified divers can also make use of the opportunity to dive in this exhibit with shoals of fish and turtles. The Jelly gallery is sure to mesmerize and enthrall.

Thank you Two Oceans!
Very well kept aquarium and exhibits. Animals are very well taken care off. The ethos of Two Oceans aquarium can also be seen in the multitude of work that this organisation does around the Cape coast, through their help towards injured marine life and the preservation of our coastline and ocean. It is great to know that the entrance fee goes towards such a well kept educational and conservation organisation and aquarium. In a time where our marine life face huge threats, this aquarium and foundation is a shining beacon of light and hope. It is great that there are places such as these where we can help to nurture a passion for conservation in current and future generations. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Aquarium in the heart of Cape Town
I read some mixed reviews on this aquarium before deciding to spend a few hours there. The entry price is extremely reasonable and the aquarium itself is spotless. Beautiful exhibits tell of plastics use and how we are affecting our oceans. The Jelly Room is extraordinary and all of the tanks are clean and appear to be in pristine condition. An added treat is the penguin exhibit. If you are lucky you might get to see feeding time. The penguins have tons of charm. This was well worth the money for entry and I highly recommend it during your stay in Cape Town.
