Valentine's picnic at the Two Oceans Aquarium
Thu Feb 14, 19:00 - Thu Feb 14, 23:00
Two Oceans Aquarium
ABOUT
“There are many fish in the sea, but only one for me.”
At the Two Oceans Aquarium, we do Valentine’s Day a little differently. We’re going rustic with a relaxed and informal mood by way of 37 intimate picnic spots dotted throughout the Aquarium.
These spots have been specially selected for their romance potential – a private “pod” complete with hay bales will accommodate only one couple per pod, affording you a bit of privacy, comfort and intimacy. So, ditch the heels and the formal jacket and enjoy a laid-back evening of romance surrounded by our magnificent displays.
