The perfect place for a family walk ended by a restaurant with a view. Highly recommend

Stopped here for an hour. Definitely worth it. Cheap to enter. Self-guided at your own pace. Plenty of information about the origins of humankind. There is a fun 3-minute boat ride inside with weather effects but not much else to see during it. There are interactive and moving exhibits near the end. Can take a stroller inside (except have to park it for the boat ride). I would suggest combining this with something else nearby like the rhino and lion park

Again, such an imported place and 50% of interactive equipment is out of order or missing. I was shocked at the lack of detail and missed oppertunities. Who is responsible for this mismanagement? You should be fired!!!!

It is a wonderful place and the ride down the river was really cool. However we were disappointed that a lot of the interactive displays were not working and needed repairs.

The Sterkfontein Caves are a MUST see. What a beautiful and unique experience into the depths of humankind. This was an unexpected, beautiful history that needs to reach more people!

Very cool experience to be in the center of where everything started. The visitor center is very nicely done.

This is a destination that I have visited on three different occasions and each time In learn a bit more about myself as well the world around me. I encourage everyone who is able to visit to do so.

Cradle of human kind in Maropeng... it's free guys. Take your family, go as a couple or with friends. Entrance, parking free. To see your ancestors free. You pay to get on a boat and see other parts of our history...very affordable. Honestly it's worthit. We had a great time.

This place was great. The museum was the best experience ever! You can tell that the creators took time to design this place, it was simply the best. The tour guide was so amazing and the guy is super knowledgeable and I’d actually do it again.
