It has officially been 23 years since the Two Oceans Aquarium first opened to share the wonders of the sea with locals and visitors in Cape Town. To mark its birthday, the fun-filled place of fish and fascinating water creatures has announced that locals can now get a free visit on their birthday.
Locals will be given free entry to the aquarium either on their birthday or within 6 days of the official date. To claim your free birthday entrance, all you need is to bring your ID, drivers license or birth certificate with you on the day.
The offer is only valid for South African citizens who are over the age of four.
If you are considering paying a visit to the aquarium on your special day, here are a few things you can look forward to:
1. Extraordinary jellyfish
Two Oceans Aquarium has a selection of weird and wonderful jellyfish to see!
This Amakusa, or Malaysian jelly, is one of the few species of jellyfish that is jellyvorous, meaning it eats its own kind.
2. Adorable penguins
Catch a glimpse of the cute collection of penguins here.
Filled with life and energy, the penguins are a must-visit when you’re at Two Oceans Aquarium.
3. Fascinating predators of the sea
View these ocean predators up-close and personal (luckily, from the other side of glass).
When visiting the aquarium, the sharks on show are a must-see.
4. The stars of the show
Take a closer look at the various amazing starfish in the aquarium.
5. Visit the turtles
Make your way to see the majestic turtles.
Their air of gentle wisdom is not easily forgotten and no visit to the aquarium is complete without a visit to these creatures.
