uShaka Marine World
One of Africa's largest aquariums, known for its shipwreck-shaped exhibit halls, dolphin shows and water park. A good choice for families.
The complex is divided into three parts: uShaka Marine World, with its aquarium, dolphin and seal shows and shark tank; Wet 'n Wild, a water park with water slides; and the uShaka Village market. The aquarium is housed in a replica shipwreck. Paid activities include snorkelling and swimming with sharks. Tickets are priced in combinations, and buying online is cheaper. The park sits at the southern end of the Golden Mile, next to uShaka Beach.
