3. Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 122 reviews
The Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre works towards creating a more caring and just society in which human rights and diversity are respected and valued. Through our exhibitions, events and workshops we endeavour to commemorate the victims and survivors of the Nazi regime and the numerous genocides that happened before and since the Holocaust. We do this to highlight the consequences of prejudice and racism in all of its forms, and to draw attention to the dangers of indifference, apathy and silence. Please note: When visiting the Cape Town Holocaust and Genocide Centre, please bring along your identification document (ID), drivers license or passport for security purposes.

The rollercoaster of emotions one experiences along your journey through the museum is down to the professionalism in the display, layout and information. This is how a museum should be.
4. Iziko South African Museum and Planetarium
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 385 reviews
The Iziko South African Museum houses more than one and a half million specimens of scientific importance. The collections now range from fossils almost 700-million years old to insects and fish caught last week. There are also stone tools made by people 120 000 years ago, traditional clothes from the last century, and T-shirts printed yesterday.The Planetarium, which is housed in the South African Museum building, is a celestial theatre in the round, utilising the complex Minolta star machine and multiple projectors to transport the audience through the wonders of the universe. The ultimate in armchair travel.Inside the domed auditorium, we can recreate the night sky, so whatever the weather outside, the Planetarium sky is always clear, an extraordinary audio-visual experience for old and young.

It might be Cape Town’s best kept or most foolishly kept secret - the revamped planetarium. We did not see the museum as we went to an evening show so cannot comment on that part of the attraction. What we can say is this: it’s a bargain attending a magical planetarium show. R60 for adults and R30 for children’s pensioners. Booking online not available but show schedule is. Some free on site parking. Don’t be put off if it looks closed, you now enter through the museum building and not what seems to be the Planetarium entrance. We saw Passport to the Universe and It was an outstanding and breathtaking experience seeing the stars and planets and constellations from the reclining seats. A must for families. A huge opportunity for the museum to market and attract visitors is being lost.
