The main building at Maropeng, called the Tumulus emulates an ancient burial mound from the front, and in stark contrast, upon exiting, a very modern iconic structure is revealed. The architecture is symbolic of the journey through the evolution of life that is represented underground in the Visitor Attraction and the entire layout of the individual facilities across the site is based on the theme of constant discovery.

An original fossil display and a boat ride on an underground lake through the four life-giving elements that combined to form the earth and shape the world as it is known today, are offered in the Visitor Attraction.

We offer a half-day tour to Maropeng Centre or if combined with any two of the following three attractions, a full day tour:

* Sterkfontein Caves

* Rhino & Lion Park

* Wonder Caves
