ICONIC BY NATURE
A new kind of membership for a new kind of life
You’ve earned your time, now spend it well.
The V&A Icons Programme isn’t about slowing down. It’s about tuning in. To your pace, your preferences, your version of what matters.
For locals over 60, it’s an open invitation to enjoy the Waterfront on your terms, with exclusive access, curated perks, and a few well-placed thank-yous along the way.
Not just discounts. Doors opening.
See your city differently
Rediscover Cape Town’s most iconic destination with reduced rates on the Cape Wheel, harbour cruises and walking tours. For those who believe the best views keep changing!
Eat well. Linger longer
Enjoy early-bird menus, seniors-only dining specials and unexpected treats at select Waterfront restaurants. Lunch for one. Drinks with friends. A dinner plan that turns into a night out.
Buy less. Discover more
From bookshops to boutiques, Icons receive curated offers across participating retailers. It’s about the joy of browsing, and buying things that feel made for you.
Stay creatively alive
Lower entry to museums, galleries and exhibitions across the precinct. Keep your curiosity sharp. There’s always something new around the corner!
Wellbeing, redefined
Special access to spas, salons and wellness studios designed for restoration, not rush. Because energy looks different on everyone, and self-care is always in season.
Free weekday parking
A simple gesture that makes all the difference: park at the V&A for free every weekday from 9am to 2pm.
Who it’s for:
If you’re 60 or older, this programme is perfect for you.
1. Bring your ID or passport to any V&A Waterfront information kiosk.
2. Fill in a short form.
3. Walk away with your Icons card. Use it the same day!
Much more than a card
This is about recognising the generation who built more than careers.
They built communities.
Who brought grit, grace, and growth to a city that’s still evolving.
Icons is a tribute to them. To you!
To those who don’t need noise to make an impact.
To those who make space for joy and give it freely.
To those who know that the real secret to staying young is staying curious.
V&A Icons
For those who shaped our city, our communities and our lives.
We honour you.
