Right next door to the Interpretive Centre, the cinema-style Cango
Caves Auditorium - on the 2nd floor of the Visitor Centre - screens
a 19 minute film about a recent expedition into the Wonder Cave
(Cango 2, which is closed to the public).
The film runs
on a continuous loop and may be viewed free-of-charge during Cave
opening times. The Interpretive centre has been scientifically
designed to explain the Caves - and particularly their geology
and history -in great detail. It's an ideal place for the curious
and makes a fascinating classroom for the many school and study
groups who visit the Caves as part of their curricula.
The Interpretive Centre's main theme is time. The reason for
this is quite simple... it is an effort to explain the concept
of time in all it's complexity and simplicity in order for the
visitor to try to understand the processes which the cave
underwent to become a cave, as we see it today. Hopefully this
understanding will spark the need to conserve and to fully
appreciate this unique cave system on the African continent.
Interesting related disciplines for example archaeology and
palaeontology offers exciting insight into the pre-history
of the ancient landscapes of the Little Karoo.
