Very close to Magalies is Maropeng which according to the fossils found there is where humankind started. The Sterkfontein caves is also close-by where the skull of Mrs Ples was found. The whole cradle where a number of skulls where found is quite a few hectars.

Within the visitor attraction lies an exciting 4-billion-year journey on an underground lake, through the elemental forces – water, air, fire and earth – dipping through waterfalls and real icebergs, into the eye of a storm, past erupting volcanoes and through the depths of the earth and emerging at the beginning of the world. From here, the journey continues through an experience highlighting the history of our world and humankind as a species, brought to life via audiovisual techniques, evocative sound effects, theme-park technology and theatrical displays. There are also real fossils on display at the visitor centre.
