Two Oceans Aquarium stands on Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, and the entire visit takes place indoors, so it holds up in any weather. Among the public galleries is the Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Exhibit, which has an accessible viewing ramp. The aquarium is also counted as a recreational dive site, not only a place seen through glass.
A daily activity programme runs alongside the exhibits, including shark feeding and a puppet show, but the times are not published, so a visit cannot be planned around them.
The Behind the Scenes tour is where a family may have to split up: it is for children of eight and older and runs in a small group, and an adult who does not take part still needs an ordinary day ticket. For those who do go, admission to the public areas that day is part of the tour booking. Guests are asked not to eat their own food inside, but a day ticket stays valid for the whole visiting day, so going out to eat and coming back in on the same day is allowed.
