Maropeng, the official visitor centre, is interesting to adults and children. The displays are informative and many allow children to engage and interact. The scenery is beautiful and even if the weather is poor, the outing is pleasant.
Sadly, the information on some of the displays is quite dated, and can do with an update. This does not alter the value of the exhibition, specifically as it relates to the evolutionary pathway and the history of the area. The stale information pertains more to the impact of development and consumerism on the environment.

What an absolutely phenomenal experience! My dad is in a wheelchair, which usually prevents us from having full experiences of places, but I found this place wonderfully accessible. The boat ride was something that he would usually have to sit out, but the staff was so incredibly helpful and helped get him into the boat, despite it being quite a mission. Getting out, they had called in more help and he was quickly back in his chair. I cannot describe how much it meant to us that he could be part of that experience! THANK YOU!

The displays are wonderfully creative and informative and we enjoyed the interactive nature of the exhibit. We loved that the layout was planned so that you didn't miss anything. So many museums put displays parallel and facing each other which makes it frustrating because while you're absorbed in the one panel, you don't see the one behind you and have to backtrack to see everything.

We had such an amazing experience there - I can't believe I was reluctant to go. I cannot get over how friendly and helpful the staff was, even offering to help push the wheelchair up to the car park as they were closing for the day. It was worth every cent for us and we will definitely be back!

A visit to Maropeng is really worth the trip. There is so much history and so interesting. The preservation of the fossils is truly amazing. There are souvenir shops and 2 restaurants where u can either have a smart full service meal or near the entrance is a casual restaurant where light meals and beverages are served. The views are beautiful from the viewing point at the top of the main restaurant.
