An excellent museum with lots of artifacts, photos and information about the construction of the five dams on Table Mountain. Would have given it 4 or 5 stars if it had been open the last two times that I visited it. Unfortunately SANParks are getting worse and worse, by the month, at managing the public facilities for which they are responsible

A really great piece of history. It is worth taking a trip here. take a picnic basket and after viewing the museum take a walk along the dam wall. There are some very nice places where you can have your picnic. At certain times of the year you can find the Disa (family Orchidaceae). A beautiful red flower. they are also found in blue (semi-scarce).

The museum gives a very interesting insight into the past of Table Mountain and what it took to build the dams on top. Very impressive.

Not open to visit. But still an interesting walk and peeps through the windows...

Excellent well worth the visit. But you must arrange access!

Been in here a couple of times (and passed it countless times) and it's really enjoyable and interesting. Only issue is that it very seldom seems to be open.
