Valentine's Day dinner at the Two Oceans Aquarium

ABOUT

“There are many fish in the sea, but only one for me.”

By popular demand, we've added a Pre-Valentine's Day dinner on 13 February too!

We are giving in-love (or in-like) couples a unique opportunity to spend the most romantic day of the year – Valentine’s Day – at the most romantic place in Cape Town – the Two Oceans Aquarium. This is a special chance to visit the fish after dark, and an opportunity to impress your date in a very exclusive way - intimate dinners-for-two in front of your favourite Aquarium exhibits.
