Very small and not a big variety marine life. However enjoyed the sharks and experienced friendly service.

can't put zero stars but one star describes how the female owner is in person because we were rolling on our skateboards and got off to swim, and she went and called security and cops on us for just trying to go swim on a hot day, and she threatened to lock us up if we came back

A little aquarium... hidden like a starfish in the rocks. You should check it out though. Its affordable and the money goes towards food for the rescue sea creatures.

Although it's small, I think this place is worth the visit. Fishes are well taken care of and you will get a friendly welcome. I like how they are not just about entertainment.

An absolute rip off. Not worth it. R400 for the shark encounter is ludicrous. They tell you how great it all is and then you come into this dark hole of leaking tanks, hardly any fish and 2 lonely sharks swimming in a boring small tank waiting to die.

Ursela was so friendly!!❤️

I couldn't believe that they asked money for this. 5 tanks and the 🦈 tank with 2 sharks in it. Very disappointed. Don't waist your time and money.

Had a lovely stroll through the aquarium. There is a small amount of fish, but it's still worthwhile. There are jaws/skeletal remains to be seen as well as tropical and local fish, an intellectual 8-tentacled creature and a shark or two. You can swim with the sharks too. 🦈 There is an entry fee and a seperate fee for swimming with the sharks. Just remember to not tap or touch the glass.🚫

It was my daughter's 13th birthday on 27th Dec. My in-laws took them to the aquarium. The father in law asked the lady at the counter whether our 10 year old pays full price. She was not kind about the question at all and virtually shouted at my father in law with an ugly face and bad body language. "What are you saying? Yes!" He was shocked that she could be so ugly just because he asked the question. After she was so rude he decided he will not go in with my mother in law and the kids and asked to rather have his R40 back. The lady then said. "Take your money and go" and gave back all our money and said that my mother in law and kids were not allowed in. She then proceeded to explain to another light skin man how wrong they were, when they actually just asked a question. The man still tried to tell her it was'nt necessary to carry on like that. She just carried on. My in-laws are of colour, and I feel she would not have been so rude if they were white. I am a white male and am disgusted at how cruel this incident was infront of my children, especially on my daughters birthday. I will not recommend this place to anyone and was fuming when I heard of the treatment of my in-laws and children at this establishment. Would give zero star rating but unfortunately have to select 1 star to get the review loaded.

This aquarium is small and cosy with a few fish tanks, an octopus open tank and a big tank with two smooth hound sharks. You can get into the water with the sharks. This is an unique experience that everyone can safely do. The owners are conservationists with a wealth of knowledge ready to share in their friendly welcoming way.

Cute and small little aquarium. Great for children to see 🐟🐙🦈🐠

You haven't visited Mossel Bay if you have not pay The Point a visit. Pop in at The Shark Lab, the mini Aquarium situated at the well known Mossel Bay Point. The staff are friendly, but the work they do mustn't be underestimated. Wheelchair accessible and very accommodated. Schools and parents can organize trips for the children to pay a them a visit and be well educated on sharks. It's a fun activity to do as a family and let the young ones learn and watch the staff be hands on with the sharks.

Goodness what a dissappointment. Dirty, smelly and wet floors. Probably leaking tanks. Nothing to see here besides the thought of who is rescuing who? Defnitely looks like the fish needs to be released. Dont go, you will be wasting your money R40 per person. FYI the one and only shark doesnt have teeth, so we were told??

They are working hard to come back to normal after the terrible damage they had from the huge waves. It is great to see the passion from the community to get them back on their feet. My grandson absolutely loved the experience.

Wonderful little aquarium with the newest addition ursula the octopus. The guide were very friendly and even in loadshedding she carried a light and showed us all the fish. Make sure to say hallo to Bonnie the shark.

It's a bit small, but was disappointed when we couldn't get into the shark tank. Place needs better safety measures in place.

(Translated by Google) A very small place (Original) مكان صغير جدا

Not a great experience. R80 wasted in my opinion.

Nice little aquarium to show the kids some fishys

NOT WORTH IT!!! Poorly kept, leaking tank. Only one very small tank for 2 sharks and nothing ells to see. WOULD NOT RECOMEND. Even the children where very disappointed.

I went swimming with the sharks 😁

Nope just nope

To see the sharks and other fish was a lifetime experience

Very small venue. Nothing much to see. Swimming with sharks is ok I suppose

Awesome mini Aquarium

Very small, but nice for the kids to see, they even have a tank with "Nemo and Dory". Was great to see some sharks up close and the bigger tank had some nice creatures, including an octupus which my kids absolutely loved.

It is good if you like the ocean and the things that live in it. The displays are thorough, just make sure to take your reading glasses with you as there is a lot of material to study.

Nice seeing sharks but you have to dive with them to make it worth wile

Closed. Unsure if it's permanent or temp for renovations. :(

Very small aquarium. Not much to see. The octopus was the highlight.

It's a small aquarium right on the beach, worth the visit. The shark swim was quite fun.

There are about 5 fish and 1 octopus? That's it .Entrance fee was R30 but when I wanted to pay by card I was told that the minimum payment by card is R50 .So I had to make a donation of R20 on top of my entrance fee . When I asked what the money will be used for the lady said it's for the rehab of the octopus? This place is a total rip off . Not worth it at all and there are almost no fish in this place . Very disappointed

Ladies bathrooms were absolutely gross, dirty no toilet paper, 3 toilets out of order only 1 working, haven't been cleaned because apparently there is no time, shouldn't it be prioritized what with Covid and hygiene so crucial all the time?

Truly a mini aquarium. Has a very limited variety. However they help rescue fish as well

What a rip-off. Paid R 160 for less then 15minutes. There is nothing to see as the facilities is in poor condition. I am all for conservation but this one is a waste of money and the 3 Sharks should be released the small enclosure . You will waste your money.

It is very small and very wet there. It is very good if you want to swim with the 2 sharks there. I think with a bit more funding they can make a very nice attraction there. Is is worth the R30 to go in and walk around.

A nice little aquarium with some interesting fish and some sharks you can swim with.

Small but very interesting

We enjoyed the experience. Very friendly lady at the reception.

As a lab, it maybe functions. But I found it quite sad experience to see the sharks in a small tank. No doubt, the staff takes good care of all the animals, but the overall experience was🤔

worst experience every R40 for absolutely nothing no sharks only a photo copy of a shark stuck on a window water flowing out of the tanks were your supposed to walk in total there are about 4 fish in the aquarium not even R10 worth!

Been there a few years back, and, honestly, I just feel that the Price you paying, IS WELL WORTH IT. I mean, it's not a Great White, but really, where else you gona be THAT CLOSE to a Shark, for the amount they asking... Compare that to Shark Cage diving, I bet most of us are running just at the thort of the costs involved. BOTTOM LINE, It's an experience. As an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sharks, that close. Wudv loved to have gotten in the tank tho, but, I guess, another visit is needed then. CAPE TOWN ain't near from Mosselbay hey...lol

Entrance fee is much to high for the experience. The facility is poorly maintained and dirty! Certainly not worth visiting.

Over priced and not much to see Have to pay for kids under 5 aswell with is not expectable

Quite small. Staff gave us a personal tour and really added to the experience. Well worth seeing the octopus

Nice quick visit for kids

The light house view is Amazing

Very small, but worth supporting.

Small but nice

My expectations started rather low... After all, entry was only R30 and it's primarily a research facility... But really they could have tried a little harder. Yes there's a tank with sharks and it's big enough to take a dunk with them... That will set you back R300 by the way... The rest? There's one pool with some fish, and about 5 tanks, each with 2 or 3 fish in it. So even with low expectations to start with... They managed to disappoint.

Had an amazing time

Not a lot a big variation of fish. Shark swim the only attractions

The lady gave a good intro speech, but the aquarium is really small only exciting thing there was the two sharks. Like it said in the name "mini". Not worth driving there just for the aquarium but if your there might as well give it a go.

Nice for kids

(Translated by Google) Well maintained. Lots to see. Always value for money. (Original) Baie goed onderhou. Baie om te sien. Altyd waarde vir geld.

What an amazing experience .. Amazing staff, they made me feel comfortable and i wasn't nervous at all . Worth a visit , also great souvenirs ! Loved everything about my visit

Conservation is the shark lab's primary goal. Smallish venue but taken care for with love and passion trying to make it as stress free for fish. Owner is friendly and well informed. Well worth a visit to be reminded of the beauty of nature

Beautiful octopus

Awesome for children and visitor's

Kiddies loved it .

Small but cute.

Only two sharks. Nothing really to see

(Translated by Google) They can make the tanks for the poor fish a bit bigger and clean the glass inside as well (Original) Hulle kan die tenke vir die arme visse n bietjie groter maak en darem die glas in binne kant skoon maak ook

Lovely spot for the kids to see the sharks and other fish

I somehow was expecting more. But maybe it's fine for kids to visit. I've been to many aquarium's but cant say I'd go back again. The tank where u swim with the sharks is so small. You cant actually swim with them. You literally get in this oval sort of shaped tank and these little sharks swim around you. Very little room to do anything except stand there.

The owner/operator was very casual and easy going. You were not pressured into going into the tank until you felt comfortable and ready. The interaction with the sharks was a disappointment as they appeared to be a bit shy and approached one out of curiosity rather than wanting to interact.

It was an amazing experience.

The autumn afternoon still very much like summer at the point.

(Translated by Google) Not worth a visit. There are very few tanks to see and the place is so small you won't even be busy for 2min. Will not even pay R10 for such experience (Original) Nie die moeite werd om te besoek nie. Daar is baie min tanks om te sien en die plek is so klein jy sal nie eers 2min besig wees nie. Sal nie eers R10 betaal vir so ervaring nie

Got to see sharks at a low very low price

(Translated by Google) Far too small there is not much to see (Original) Viel zu klein es gibt nicht viel zu sehen

(Translated by Google) Very very pretty (Original) Baie baie mooi

Awesome!

(Translated by Google) Very good! (Original) Muito bom!

(Translated by Google) Not much to see and sharks have no place (Original) Nicht viel zu sehen und Haie haben keinen Platz

(Translated by Google) Nice beach, many rocks are exposed at low tide, and many small fish and jellyfish are playing in the puddle. (Original) 风景不错的海滩，退潮时露出了许多岩石，很多小鱼水母在水洼中玩耍。

Smart, but needs a coffeeshop or teagarden for a quicky

Good sight

This aquarium, as the name states, is Mini. It has friendly staff, and some cool sea animals (including Octopi, Starfish, Fish, Sharks, Nemo and Dory, etc.)

🦈

This is as the name says....a MINI aquarium. But R30 gets you in to the mini experience, which is short and sweet.

Small and great experience, every sea animal has a name and are rescued inside.

Very cool. Not the biggest aquarium ever but brings great awareness on treating the sea creatures well.

Not worth the entrance fee.

Needs a little more see life

Very educational and wonderful to see people so enthusiastic about their field. My children were horrified to hear how some ignorant kids had harmed the octopus and other little creatures. We are so glad to know you do such amazing work. My daughter wanted to go into the tank with the Sharks however she only got as far as getting her feet wet and had a change of heart. Everyone was very patient and kind to her and offered for her to return a couple of days later.

Mini Aquarium but mostly dedicated to rescue sea life at the hands of cruel and naughty children as well as ignorant adults. Lots of love and care goes into the place and all the animals are loved.
