Very interesting, many things to see and learn. Well organized and attractive. All visitors and friends I took there just loved it. Highly recommended!

Maropeng, in a nutshell, is about the pre-history of earth and mankind, presented in a fun and entertaining way. The building that houses the visitor centre is quite unique, and symbolises both the old and new in mankind's journey.

Really impressive displays and interactive features - kids will love it!
