The Cradle of Humankind Local Tourism Association Reviews

This is a great natural heritage site. excellent tour and a must for all travelers to the region

Excellent - interesting and fun too. The gate staff also deserve a special mention - so friendly and helpful.

Historic place. Find of the skeletons. Unfortunately, the exhibition is somewhere else.

It was a good experience and good for the children to explore. Just a pity nobody told us of the professional photo opportunity....

Nice place to visit on a Saturday. I recommend it. Take the kids with, perfect place to leave them if you so desire lol.

A worthwhile visit for local and international tourists. Good activities and information provided. Well maintained and efficiently operated. Friendly staff make the experience worthwhile. Relatively priced for this type of experience.

The area is beautiful and the staff were all very friendly. They also have wonderful interactive displays. It was great fun!!

Very pleasant place with different activities that are organised on site where you will be going through all stage of the human evolution there are even taking pictures with human ancestors and they add your at the end . But if you don't like that you may walk by your self and discover other archeological site and even go to the restaurant that has a great variety of foods and drinks. In short it a good outting place where there a combination of fun and historical knowledge.

Have two sites. Sterkfontein caves where fossils were found: hard to negotiate, dark, 60m below ground, lots of steps to climb on the way back. Not for the weak and faint hearted. Second site is the exhibition centre: well maintained, nice exhibits. Visit to the exhibition centre will be enough for those who do not want to take the physical efforts of exploring the caves. Not enough signs on the road to the Sterkfontein caves. Overall worth a visit.

Amazing, I loved the place, a place of learning and recreation, the history is fantastic

The water ride really made the place stand out for the visit.

A lot of effort has been put in to make it a great place for a day visit.

An excellent experience, would recommend it to anyone

Thank you Dorcas and team for making our outing memorable.

Great place to take kids to teach them about the origins of mankind. For the adult groups, it can be a bit dreary as none of the fossils are usually kept on-site and the information and activities provided are mainly for kids.

I personally found the Sterkfontein caves, which are a short drive away, to be more historical and fascinating.

Brilliant history displays! Just don't go in that vertigo drum if you get sea sick or vertigo.....my wife was finished after that

The visitor center was enjoyable especially the boat ride experiencing elements of earth.

It was awesome! So well done! Lived the experience.

It is a fascinating experience with a lot of facts and looks like a million dollars

For those paleoanthropology enthusiasts, this place is for you!

I love this place - it broadens one's perspective about the origins of life and the origins of the human species. There are also beautiful views of the Magaliesberg from the restaurant. And the Hotel is well worth staying at for a night or two.

A wonderful area with all kinds of activities, such as hot air balloon ride, hiking, fishing, game farms, Sterkfontein caves - a World heritage site, with limestone rocks where human fossils have been found during archaeological expeditions. Just Google Cradle of humankind to see more fun activities can be had in this area.

Was ok personally I think its all a bit lack luster in exacutiin but its not a bad place, feels like they did as little as possible to get as much money as possible.

Very beautiful place with many tribes that preserve their traditions

Amazing place that tells a story in a very interactive and informative manner.

Well worth the time to go through this well laid out exhibit

You get a bit lost and the purpose of what to see and learn there not well presented. But very clean venue, and super friendly staff.

Excellent restaurant and museum. The museum was very informative.

Overpriced for ordinary people and NO FREE coffee for bus drivers. Staff generally unfriendly This place is the biggest bunch of crap ever invented!

I live here !! please stop sending me this message!

It is a historical place... With all the origins... Maintained properly... And perfect

It is fairly well done, but the museum is badly outdated

Nice heritage site , where one will learn about mankind

Peaceful place if you need a break from the city rush

Very informative start, well informed too about the area

World heritage site, one of the few places in the world to experience human evolution before your eyes. Well organised knowledgeable for kids.

I have never been there. I am a South African, cannot afford it

Close enough to Jo'burg to enjoy a day trip with friends and family. Very interesting and informative.

One of most informative trips I have had about where we may have originated from.

Beautiful scenary. Peaceful place and a variety of activities and eating places.

Great displays and very informative. Amazing views too.
