Jasmine the Face Painting Fairy returns!
Bring your kids along to get their faces painted by Jasmine the Face Painting Fairy in the I&J Children's Play Centre from 10h00 to 15h00 everyday from 29 March to 1 April.
Puppet shows and kids crafts
The I&J Children's Play Centre is a safe space where little ones can enjoy entertaining and educational puppet shows, and age-appropriate arts and crafts with a marine theme. Our early childhood development team loves nothing more than filling the hearts and minds of children with love and joy for the ocean (and giving parents a few minutes to rest during their Two Oceans Aquarium Visit).
Venture behind the scenes of the Two Oceans Aquarium
As if enjoying the marine life inside the Two Oceans Aquarium isn't cool enough - you and your family can also experience what goes into making the Aquarium tick! Join one of our Aquarists and learn how our animals are fed, what our animals are fed, and how our amazing staff work together to ensure smooth sailing.
Guided tours take place at 10h00 and 13h00 daily and last up to 75 minutes. We allow a maximum of eight people per tour, so make sure to bring along all of your loved ones along! Learn more here!
