Listen below:
This year marks a major milestone for the Two Oceans Aquarium – they’re celebrating their 30th birthday on 13 November!
To mark three decades of ocean conservation, education, and wonder, the aquarium is offering a special birthday gift – free admission during your birthday month!
This means you can enjoy a visit on any day in your birthday month, absolutely free.
Here’s how it works:
- Collect your free birthday ticket in person from the aquarium’s on-site ticket office on the day of your visit.
- Be sure to bring valid proof of identification with your South African ID number.
"It's the visitors that make the aquarium what it is. Even after 30 years, seeing little kids come in and see the exhibits and see the animals and the expression on their faces, that's what makes it worthwhile."
- Helen Lockhart, Conservation and Sustainability Manager – Two Oceans Aquarium
