Visitor information at Two Oceans Aquarium


To make the most of your visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium, we suggest that you plan your day by reading through the visitor information below.

It is recommended to allow 1 to 2 hours to enjoy the diverse and magnificent displays. Please wear comfortable shoes.

Overlooking the yacht marina, Shoreline Café is a deli/self–service facility in which visitors can pick and choose their own snacks and refreshments. A breakfast and lunch buffet section caters to those wanting something more substantial than just a light snack. The ever–popular children’s play centre remains operational so parents can relax while their children work off some excess energy in the centre. No bookings accepted.

Open daily from 09h00 to 18h00 (kitchen closes at 17h30)

Contact the Shoreline Manager on Telephone 021 418 8645/6 or e–mail manager@shorelinecafe.co.za for information.
