Bayworld opened in 1856 and it is the third oldest museum in South Africa. The aquarium included African penguins, seals, and sea turtles. The reptile area included crocodiles, turtles and snakes. The museum also displayed many unique Xhosa artifacts. While we were at Bayworld there were three schools touring the exhibits. Bayworld was one of my favorite places in Port Elizabeth. It was a museum and aquarium all rolled into one special place. The best thing about Bayworld was they are committed to education and work hard to get classes from the townships into their facility. They had great animal exhibits and interesting historical displays. I am making plans to have my students at Carolina Forest International make artwork by reusing clean trash items. We will then sell the items to help fund some of the projects I was introduced to in South Africa. Bayworld is on the top of my list to support!
