One Rate Card Across Iziko Museums
Iziko applies the same standard rate to the South African Museum, Slave Lodge, National Gallery, Bo-Kaap Museum, Old Town House, Rust en Vreugd and Bertram House. The Planetarium and Digital Dome is priced higher and separately.
Children Under 5
Children under 5 enter free at the standard museums. The Planetarium is the exception — children aged 2 and over occupying a seat pay the full child rate.
