Two Oceans Aquarium

Two Oceans Aquarium, located at Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town houses over 8,000 creatures and more than 300 species. It is located at the place where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet, hence the name Two Oceans. You can experience an underwater forest at the tranquil Kelp Forest, which is the biggest attraction of this aquarium.

The aquarium has a predator exhibit, the home of ragged-tooth sharks, territorial rock cod, and giant yellowtail. It has the first display of one of its kind, the I&J Ocean Exhibit, which includes a 10-metre tunnel filled with 1.6 million litres of seawater with turtles and stingrays in it. It also holds several species of penguins in the penguin exhibit. A unique feature of this aquarium is that visitors can even touch marine creatures at their interactive touch pool. The Two Ocean Aquarium houses South African Galjoen, also called Black Fish, a species unique to the South African coastline. Kids can also enjoy puppet shows at the I&J Children’s Play Centre.
