The Cradle of Humankind Local Tourism Association Reviews

This was an absolute treat to visit. The history was great we even went down the sterkfontein caves to see the lime rock formations. We went on a guided tour of the cave and the guide knew it well and was fun and interactive. Overall a great trip

it just feels very fake... would have been nice if they kept the place natural

This is a very upmarket conservation park with accomodation and full restaurant.

Really enjoyed the visit, could do with a proper food court.

Great place to see wild and history. Loved the traveling and amazing views.

This is a great place, amazing history, fun games and really nice food

Rich history about great Mandela. Lots to learn about the struggle against apartheid. All in one space. A definite place to visit when in SA

Its an interesting place, and the caves are awesome.

Was amazed by what I have seen out,going inside the third largest carve in S.A.

This such a unique experience I can't even compare it to anything. It is world class. We are so lucky to celebrate such a wealth of ancestry from "prehistoric" times. Truly educational. Been there several times ans still learning things

Great place to visit. Very well orginised and cared for. Great atmosphere. Well priced. Very cheap for what you receive and experience.

It teaches us about humanity and where we come from

Well set up, guides are very informative. Cub petting was great except only 4 month old were available and they tend to get a bit playful and can bite if you aren't careful. Was an awesome experience. Game drives were fantastic, with two lion feeds on weekends. Some impressive animals to see. Self drive is available allowing you to use your own car to drive through the enclosures. A good attraction is the giraffe feeding, by hand. This depends on the giraffes themselves and weather, all animals aren't as active during hot weather. Costs are geared towards tourism though.

Awesome experience with great service and delicious breakfast!! Will do it again!

It was a nice place and they have put up good infrastructure

Empty so the solo tour was delightful. Don't get your bum dirty...

Fantastically well maintained grounds and facilities. A highly interactive experience. I greatly recommend spending some time in the Cradle.

The place is absolutely beautiful. A mini gateway from the city.

So informative and interactive, a must do with your kids.

Important history that's well explained and good touchy-feely exhibits.

I loved it so much, I went there twice, once on my birthday

Great environment. Facilities very clean. The actual exposition is a bit outdated.

Beutiful and a must to see even a drive around is a good experience

It is an architecturally interesting building and it has many very interesting features on the route you can take inside the building

The name Maropeng Visitor Center The Cradle of Humankind is the whole area. It seems that only a small part of the ruins and fossils that have been excavated are open to the public. This is a newly created building after being recognized as a World Heritage site. First, experience the history of the earth on a Disney attractions vehicle (like a round boat). It should be enjoyed by kindergartens and elementary school students. Later, to the exhibition room. There, the evolution of mankind, fossil exhibits, and exhibits that can be talked over the phone with extinct animals. If you are an elementary school student who understands English, you can enjoy it. There was a restaurant and a hotel at the top of the building. I made the evaluation normal, but I felt it was normal for this kind of building.

Beautiful new statues really make the attraction even better.

Well organised exhibitions, some interactive. Beautiful presentation

Very pleasantly surprised. Our visit was very good. Really enjoyed the Caves and the museum at Maropeng. Well worth the combined ticket price.

Lovely interactive museum. Very educational as well

A mind blowing experience. Absolutely stunning heritage site.. Amazing museum.

Really well done and guide was very informative and professional.

A good exhibition centre. Has enough novelty as well as historical and scientific substance to be of more than passing interest.

Nice place to go and learn about the history of human kind. Go check out the sterkfontein caves while you are there, totally worth it.

A wow experience. I would recommend it as a holiday destination

First time going, very surprised by the interior contents, surrounded by a nice view.

So much to explore here. Very interesting historical place.

What An amazing experience! There needs to be more curio shops with cradle of humankind crafts.
