Wondering how you’re going to stay warm this winter?
Introducing Samantha – small-town girl hits the Mother City
Visit Barrow’s Court in the V&A Waterfront between 3 and 15 July to meet Samantha, a small-town girl who’s moved to the Mother City. Samantha is our new mascot, she’s an endangered African penguin, and she joins Terminator the Seal and Silver the Shark to form a terrific trio for kids!
Samantha will be entertaining kids at Barrow’s Court at 11h15 and 16h15 every day from 3 to 15 July. Bring your brood to be photographed with Aquarium friends, and let them play with arts and crafts.
New puppet show: Rocky in New Waters
Join Rocky the rockhopper penguin on his journey in unfamiliar Cape Town waters. Meet a shark, Loppy the rock lobster and Hopper the African penguin, as they help Rocky find a new home.
Rocky in New Waters is a great puppet show teaching children about the different penguin species found at the Aquarium as well as how the rockhopper penguins arrived on our shores.
Our puppet shows take place daily at 10h30, 13h30 and 16h00.
