Bayworld
Port Elizabeth's most popular attraction consists of a complex
on the beachfront that includes the Oceanarium, a museum, and a
snake park. The Bayworld Oceanarium is famed for its performing
Bottlenose dolphin shows, enjoyed by thousands every year. Besides
the large dolphin pool with its underwater viewing area, the
oceanarium also features an aquarium tank where visitors can watch
a vast array of marine life through glass portholes as they glide
by, including sharks, turtles and rays. The snake park contains an
impressive variety of indigenous reptiles in natural-looking
enclosures. The PE Museum focuses on cultural and natural history
with a wide variety of exhibits, from models of sailing ships and
period costumes to giant replicas of dinosaurs that roamed the area
in prehistoric times; it is the third-oldest museum in the
country.
