It is easy for a grown-up to capture the wonder of a kid again when they visit an aquarium, where the otherworldly sea creatures open their minds to adventure and discovery.
South Africa’s main coastal cities of Durban and Cape Town house the country’s two largest aquariums, the uShaka Marine World and Two Oceans Aquarium, respectively. Both are immensely delightful to young and old alike.
Two Oceans Aquarium
Located at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, the Two Oceans Aquarium opened its doors in November 1995.
Today, it is recognised as one of the top tourist attractions in the Mother City, reads its website.
