Great place to take kids, we visited as two adults, very busy but it was the school holidays so to be expected, cheaper entrance fee if you go after 3pm

Not that big and very busy not the best but good for little kids and to see the fishes. I don't know how to feel about it, kinda pricey for what is offered.

Great experience for the whole family. Gift shop is pricey but expected at aquariums. The walk around the aquarium was a little shorter than expected though but the kids still enjoyed it. We went on a Monday after Christmas so it was extremely busy and was still pretty efficient in moving the large crowds through the exhibits. Animals on display were all in very good condition even considering some of them are rescue animals which is a great thing to see.

Visited the Two Oceans Aquarium last year during the worse covid period. I enjoyed the time I spent there very much. I got to take lots of awesome photos and got to learn many interesting facts about the creatures. They offer a lot of cool things in their store at the entrance as well. Even if you aren't interested in ocean life/facts I recommend you go there just for the beautiful sights.
