- Corne LBellville, South Africa172 contributionsMust go back again and again and you'll see something "new" each time. Only R 10 entrance. Lots of different types of toys from over many years collected by the friendly owner. A must visit but please parents see that your young kids behave inside.Written 28 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew Morson9 contributionsWe came here with Dive Team, it was our first shore based diving and we can highly recommend this beach. I was easy to enter and navigate and the Kelp forest were amazing. We were very surprised when we found out this was where the Octopus Teacher was filmed and made the dive even more special.Written 25 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fiamma11Vienna, VA4 906 contributionsAnywhere I can go and watch the penguins is a fun spot to me. Parking can be difficult very busy times but they do have an attendant. Toilets, cafe and beautifully picturesque space.Written 27 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul SGig Harbor, WA140 contributionsDogs are great, and if you like them, you'll be inspired by the story of the sailor Just Nuisance.

- Annalien PBronkhorstspruit, South Africa329 contributionsI've been to Simons Town before and never knew about this museum. I visited the toy museum and accidentally ended up at this museum that is in close proximity of the toy museum. I never realised that people were evicted from their homes in the apartheid area in Simons Town. I only knew about District 6. Our guide was most friendly and helpful. She shared so much information with us in the short time that we spent with her. She is super passionate about her families history. The photos and displays are very interesting. I recommend that everyone should visit this museum to understand the history of our beautiful country so much better. Well worth a visit.Written 5 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- fiamma11Vienna, VA4 906 contributionsWe embarked and debarked from our whale watching boat at this jetty; and also had lunch in the square. The drive there from Cape Town was scenic. We enjoyed it a great deal.Written 24 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
