TWO OCEANS AQUARIUM

The Two Oceans Aquarium is an aquarium located at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, Westren Cape, South Africa. The aquarium was opened on the 13 November 1995 and comprises seven exhibition galleries with large viewing windows. The enchantment of this particular zoo is due to its location, where the Indian and Atlantic ocean meet.
