The southern tip of the African continent is the meeting place of two mighty and bountiful oceans, the Indian and the Atlantic. The Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, showcases the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans. Over 3000 living sea animals, including sharks, fishes, turtles and penguins can be seen in this spectacular underwater nature reserve. The “two oceans” theme is illustrated by spectacular exhibits, ranging from vibrant displays of Indian Ocean tropical fishes to the magnificent 800,000 litre Kelp Forest Exhibit, which is one of only three living kelp forests on display in the world. Visitors will be mesmerised by the gentle sway of tall kelp plants and the play of dappled sunlight on silver fishes.

The Aquarium recently opened its third large-scale temporary exhibit gallery, Frogs – Beyond the Pond. Explore an enchanted garden in this gallery, meet some local frogs and learn more about what you can do to ensure the survival of these enigmatic and fascinating creatures.

Discover life beyond the African waves with opportunities such as diving with the sharks and the daily feeding of the fishes and penguins. The Aquarium offers oceans of fun for children, including puppet shows and arts and crafts.

Meet, eat and play at Shoreline Café, the Aquarium’s restaurant situated just off the foyer. Shoreline Café offers exquisite views of Table Mountain, the yacht marina and the upmarket residential apartments and hotels that grace this part of the V&A Waterfront. This facility, under Aquarium Management, is informal, wholesome and child-friendly and offers an appetising menu of affordable light meals. Shoreline Café also houses the first dedicated children’s play centre in a restaurant within the V&A Waterfront. The Aquarium’s Gift Shop, operated by Tiger’s Eye, offers a great selection of top-quality merchandise of the novel and nautical persuasion.
