Stay around the Waterfront to keep transfers short. The aquarium is the main family outing; adults can add art afterwards. Take a rain cover for the pushchair because the buildings are not linked by a fully covered route.

  1. Morning

    Two Oceans Aquarium

    Waterfront & Atlantic promenade

    Start with the indoor exhibits. There are accessible floors and nappy-changing facilities; leave time for pauses rather than a fixed circuit.

  2. Lunch

    Time Out Market Cape Town

    Waterfront & Atlantic promenade

    Have lunch under one roof nearby. Use a vehicle transfer if the weather makes the outdoor connection uncomfortable.

  3. Afternoon

    Zeitz MOCAA

    Waterfront & Atlantic promenade

    Optional for art-minded adults: Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in the Silo District. Check exhibitions, opening days and current lift access (check before you go). Families with tired toddlers can return to base instead.
