Fun things to do in Durban: 37 fun attractions and activities

uShaka is always a lovely place to visit when coming to Durban. I hadn’t been here since before Covid and was worried when I saw all the negative reviews, however it’s not bad at all. There are staff everywhere to assist, the spaces are kept clean, and the shows, aquarium and slides are all very enjoyable. We were here during off peak season so it was not busy at all. The parking has attendants on the inside and you have to pay at the gate too. The payment at the gate was R21 for about 6 hours, which isn’t too bad. I recommend having some cash as well. It’s important to check the website before planning your trip so you know when is the best time to visit based on what’s available.

🌊 1. Sea World Home to one of the largest aquariums in the Southern Hemisphere. You can walk through underwater tunnels and view sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins, and colorful fish up close. There are dolphin and seal shows scheduled daily — both entertaining and educational. 💦 2. Wet ‘n Wild Water Park Features water slides, lazy rivers, splash pools, and high-speed rides. Great for families and thrill-seekers. Lifeguards are stationed throughout, and facilities are well maintained. 🏖️ 3. uShaka Beach and Village Walk Located right next to the ocean, with easy beach access. Village Walk offers shops, restaurants, and cafés — from fast food to seafood dining with ocean views. You can also find souvenirs, surfwear, and local crafts. 🧭 4. Animal Encounters Optional experiences like snorkeling in lagoons, shark cage dives, or meeting dolphins (book in advance). Great for adventure seekers or photography lovers. 🎭 5. Cultural and Family Vibes Themed around King Shaka Zulu — you’ll see touches of Zulu culture and storytelling throughout. The staff are generally friendly, and it’s a very family-friendly and educational space. ⭐ Overall Experience 🌟 Fun level: 9/10 🧒 Family friendliness: Excellent 💰 Value for money: Good (combo tickets often save you money) 🍽️ Food & facilities: Varied and clean 🐠 Highlight: The massive aquarium and dolphin show

uShaka is a beautiful big place to do alot of things, inreally think they did an outstanding job with the layout. The only thing I'd recommend is to improve on the seal show, it's was a little bit of a waist of time, they only have a short briefing then select soemone from the audience to meet a seal, and that's it show is over, I feel they can do a little more than a 5mint show, for me it was a waist the kids could hardly enjoy, the dolphin show was so amazing, got to give it tobthe staff that handles the dolphin show now that definitely worth to see, some areas where closed, and some restaurants are closed, so it's a little bit sad, I'd prefer to go early morning, as midday is extremely busy if you not someone for large groups of people. To view the marine life. They definitely are doing a great job and that you have an opportunity to meet the dolphins personally, but you would need to book ahead of time with them to personally have an experience with the dolphins. But the show you don't need booking.

uShaka Marine World is an incredible place to visit! The aquarium is one of the best I’ve seen, with an amazing variety of marine life and beautifully designed exhibits. The water park adds even more fun, especially for families with children. The atmosphere is vibrant and safe, with plenty of food and entertainment options around. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, especially during weekends and holidays, as it gets very busy. A must-see attraction in Durban!

Best place to visit around Durban. There are Marine Aquarium, Dolphin and seal shows, Dangerous creature show, water adventures, rope adventure and water parks. Everything totally worth. You can also take seperate tickets for each events, but it's better to take combo tickets. Go for water park if u gonna spend the whole day there. Ticket prices are also not high, but affordable. We really enjoyed it

I've been wanting to go there for ages. I was not disappointed. The staff are really working hard to make it an amazing experience. The exhibits are well maintained. There are lots of shops and more than enough to eat and drink. I will certainly go back and can definitely recommend it.

I had good time in uShaka marine world. It have seal show and dolphins show. I think if you have kids you can enjoy with your family. Aquarium was also good. Near to marine world, there is restaurant named Cargo Hold and it is also good. You can enjoy lunch or dinner with aquarium(aquarium side need reservation, but other seat don't need reservation)

Moses Mabhida Stadium is one of the greatest Stadium in the World, a World Class Piece of Art. Access control to the Stadium should be improved. The one thing that this infrastructure lacks, is network or connection signal. As soon as one gets into the Stadium, one loses network connection for the period of being in that Stadium. This is a serious inconvenience and a detach to the world when one is a place where wants to connect with the world.

I was really impressed by how well-maintained and organised everything is. The stadium has a great atmosphere, whether you're there for a match or just a visit. What stood out for me is the convenience 🌸there are restaurants on-site, making it easy to grab a meal or a quick bite without having to leave the venue. There's also a gym inside, which is perfect for fitness lovers or athletes in training. Clean facilities, ample parking, and a professional vibe throughout.

We took the SkyCar up the arch just before sunset and the view over Durban stopped us in our tracks, ocean on one side, city stretching on the other. We took a few photos, then just leaned on the rail and watched the light slide across the roof. Even on a breezy evening it felt calm up there, like the city noise was on mute. Back at ground level we wandered the plaza, grabbed something to drink, and sat people-watching while the lights came on around the stadium. It’s one of those places that makes a simple hour feel like an occasion, easy, memorable, and worth the detour.

stunning landmark with breathtaking architecture and panoramic views . The SkyCar and arch walk, when functional, offer spectacular sunset vistas over Durban and the ocean . Adrenaline activities & events Andrenalin junkies gather here but it now currently under renovations 

We went up in the SkyCar for a proper postcard view of Durban’s coastline, then lingered on the arch just to watch the city breathe. It’s clean, well-run, and surprisingly calming up there. If you’ve got nerves, the Big Swing is a rush; if not, the café and plaza still make it worth the stop. Sunset light on the arch is magic, photos do half the work for you.

We went up late afternoon and the views were exactly what we hoped for—ocean on one side, city on the other, and a steady breeze that makes you pause. Staff were calm and friendly, and the whole process felt smooth from ticketing to the ride down. It’s one of those “show your visitors this first” places because it sets the tone for Durban. Back at ground level we lingered on the plaza, grabbed something cold to drink, and watched people cycle past. It’s easy to pair with a walk toward the beachfront, so the outing turns into a simple, happy couple of hours.

The Kings Park Stadium, also known as the "Shark Tank," is a rugby ground located close to The Riverside Hotel in Durban. It's about a 5-minute drive from the hotel and 20 minutes from King Shaka International Airport. This stadium is primarily used for rugby union and is the home ground of the Natal Sharks team. The stadium has a seating capacity of 52,000 and has hosted several international rugby matches, including the 1995 Rugby World Cup ¹ ². Address: Jacko Jackson Dr, Stamford Hill, Durban, 4025.

Strolling through the Durban Botanical Gardens in winter 🍃❄️ feels like stepping into a calm, green sanctuary. The crisp air fills your lungs as tall trees sway gently overhead 🌳 and soft sunlight filters through the branches ☀️. With birds calling 🐦, leaves crunching underfoot 🍂, and pops of color from winter blooms 🌼, every step feels like a peaceful escape—a little dose of nature’s magic right in the heart of the city 💚.

We slipped off for an hour between family visits and the city noise just melted, cool shade, giant trees, and easy paths you can wander without thinking. We found the lake, watched moorhens fussing around the lilies, and took a few photos before putting the phones away. It felt like a small breather in the middle of a busy family weekend. We grabbed cold drinks, sat under a big fig, and chatted about nothing important while the kids rolled down the lawn. Couples strolled past, a wedding shoot drifted by the orchids, and the whole place just moved at a gentler pace. Simple, calm, and exactly the reset we needed before heading back to the cousins.

Botanic Garden is beautiful, peace and quiet. I went on Saturday it was full yet so spacious as there was a wedding ceremony in the hall. People who were visiting the garden were able to access it. I would really recommend it 👌 if you want to relax, enjoy the view and nature.

We’ve had a visiting this place with my bestie and boyfriend! It’s totally free for everyone, and if you’re feeling generous, you can always donate a little something. Plus, there’s a great coffee spot and some books for super cheap. And don’t forget the cute little shop with all sorts of nice stuff and souvenirs!

Beautiful and peaceful space in the heart of Durban. The educational signs make it a great spot for plant lovers, and the garden is perfect for a picnic or a romantic walk. There's also an affordable coffee shop on-site. Parking can be a bit difficult on busy days, but overall a lovely place to visit!

One of the oldest botanical gardens in Africa and a serene oasis in the heart of Durban. Gorgeous collection of cycads, orchids, and palm trees. Ideal for picnics, birdwatching, or quiet walks. The gardens are well maintained with clean facilities and ample benches. There’s often live music or events on weekends. Entry is free, though donations are welcome.

Had a great experience with my wife. The nature is incredibly diverse! Make sure you put out enough hours for the trip. It’s totally worth it!

It was a great experience, especially for kids! They seemed to enjoy it even more than the adults. Although the variety of birds wasn't extensive, the kids had a blast. I didn't feel like it was crowded, but I can imagine it would be busier during school holidays. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit!

This is a difficult review for me but I still give it 5 stars. Any less and they may not be featured in recommendations of things to do in Durban. And you should definitely visit the bird park! The park showed some signs of deterioration from a previous vidit, but the birds looked well cared for despite this. You have educational boards up at every exhibit, so thinking school excursions would be a wonderful boost for young minds and support this park. We did not see the bird show, hosted twice daily - but i remember it being such a wonderful experience. And if for no other reason, there are 2 birds in the park that stole my heart many years ago: a yellow crested cockatoo - who is the friendliest little thing ever. I don't think we should scratch their heads through the wires, but this one allows me to and actually throws a little tantrum when you stop or move on. The other us a another parrot who learned how to say "hello" and just repeats it non-stop while you are visiting his home. So cute!!!

Please go support the bird park so they can keep the interesting park going. There’s a coffee and tea place too. Some birds are really unique. Stay for the 11am or 2pm for the fly show.

What a welcoming and beautiful experience. The birds are very social and interactive. The park is run down but at least the animals looks healthy. Feel free to order something to snack! The food is good and the peacocks love the leftover bread and chips.

Place is clean, birds are caged (some) and well taken care of. I had a great time with my girlfriends Linda 🫠. Laughing kookaburra took the crown

Beautiful birds, place you can see just needs some TLC. Bird show was amazing!! An awesome experience would definitely recommend!!

A very enjoyable outing, especially if one is able to attend one of the free bird shows at 14h00

Great museum featuring some great exhibitions on Durbans history. The staff were welcoming and helpful! A little small, so hoping it could showcase more in the future but the historical photographs were incredible. Amazing quality for their time and showcasing an important time in South Africa’s history in foregrounding families and real people affected by apartheid forced removals. The HIV/AIDS showcase is one of the most thorough and expressive medical histories I’ve ever attended.

Great little Museum! In less than an hour you’ll get a good feeling for what life would have been like in Durban for people discriminated against during apartheid. The fact that this is the actual pass office makes it really tangible! The buildings are well kept and entrance is indeed free.

A very good place to learn about Durban history, even living here for years I learnt new information. It was free entry and extremely well maintained museum, I am very impressed by the quality of information and having interactive parts in the museum as well.

A small museum. Free entrance. I learned history.

The first thing that stood out as I walked into the old Native Administration Building was how clean and well preserved it was. Staff at reception were extremely helpful and kind. It was refreshing to experience good service from government employees. The museum itself is small with only 4 main display rooms. One of which has most of Durbans history in the form of story boards and sculptures depicting life at the time. There is a large room where an HIV AIDS gallery is held. There was too much writing on the walls. Literally. Another room showcased stories and paraphernalia of the Durban Old Boys, men who fought in World War 1. Although the information and faculties were relevant and informative, I expected more. Toilet facilities available. Ample parking. Safe.

Free entry. Insightful and painful history, even if only a snapshot. You can cover everything in 20 - 30 minutes. Staff, Fiikile was patient and pleasant, although I arrived at 12noon on Saturday and they closed at 12:30p.

Durban is the place to be. Durban’s beachfront, known as the Golden Mile, is a vibrant stretch along the Indian Ocean. It features sandy beaches, warm waters, and a scenic promenade lined with restaurants, hotels, and markets. Popular for surfing, swimming, and fishing, it also boasts uShaka Marine World and stunning sunrise views.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful sand not crowded at all

Beautiful scenery, love my country and all... although there is a strike the place is neat...

Nice stretch for cycling walking running, to have local food . Beer and chill You can rent all types of bikes on half hour / 1 hour basis Do cable ride for nice view

Fantastic place where to stay even for the whole day. It could look at the first moment as a bit overcrowded but that's the magic of this place. People here are just sharing their joy and funny time. A lot of options were to grab some snacks or some different beach food such as ice cream or soft drinks. There is also plenty of restaurants or coffee shops so here is everything for the while day. Even free public showers🚀

Nice flat beach, good for relax but I prefer rocks ;)

Good for walking on the beach. Too rough and dangerous for swimming

Small zoos, not many big attractions it's basically like a bird park. There are beautiful peacocks that walk freely around the area and nice small well maintained enclosures. Would recommend for kids who love animals

It was Okay . I've been going there from the time I was small , the park has changed alot . I wish there was a restaurant in the Zoo so you can eat in there cause there's no restaurants anywhere else . The park was kind of unkept , flower gardens were good , it was a Quiet day for a Saturday. The entrance fees were really low under R20 per person . Some of the enclosures were empty and there's only bushes. The reptile house was dirty and I think it was closed but there's still spiders in it , hope they are taken care of . Some of the enclosures seem small for the animals. Like so many birds in a small cage . I feel like they need more space . Overall I love the park and will be back

Well kept and maintained. A better job can be done and a revamp is required. Lovely place to go with family for a picnic and visit the zoo. Lots of birds and animals to see. Fabulous memories are made here. On weekends come before 12pm for a good spot

what an exciting surprise....the Alpaca's....oh my word....absolutely amazing. Sadly the Zoo is not as i remember it....lots of empty and broken enclosures.... Still worth a visit. Hopefully it will be restored soon. The play area/jungle gym is closed,my son was extremely disappointed.

A good place for family and friends to relax in a clean and well maintained Park. The gardens are beautiful, safety is still reasonable and the animals in the zoo look happy. Great for kids or adults that enjoy abit of nature in the midst of Durban!

Beautiful upon entrance into the picnic gardens, Zoo is run down and unkempt, overgrown cages filled with weeds, workers were chopping down cycads and flowers , instead of weeding and trimming. Pity there is no more restaurant, but still an enjoyable outing for families

Beautiful kept gardens and plenty picnic space. Mitchell Park has changed their variety of animals but it's still worth the visit. There are no longer 🐇🐰 bunny rabbits and different species of monkeys and they have added new animals since we were last there. My suggestion for improvement would be to add a light in the dark room so the fishtank with the turtle is visible as the animals in the tanks in the dark room can barely be seen even by shining a cellph light. There were quite a few empty cages. Toilets were clean and staff onsite friendly and polite. All in all a lovely day, will be back ☺️

The Natural Science Museum has a wonderful array of bird, animal and insect life native to Southern Africa. The exhibits are well kept and the murals are stunning! Definitely lots to enjoy and learn as you wonder through at your own pace.

My son loved all the stuffed animals he saw esp the TRex he was fascinated and he learned animals species from all countries he's only 3, I loved the artwork it was beautiful

Very impressive natural history museum in downtown Durban. This museum rivals the fauna diorama displays at the New York Natural Science Museum. Special highlights include an almost complete skeleton of a non extinct Dodo bird. There are full size taxidermy animals for just about every species you would expect to see on a safari game drive including a small giraffe, white and black rhinos and even an elephant! The bird gallery was amazing. I wish we had come here before going to Kruger NP. Don't loiter outside the building for too long (although it is beautiful to look at) as the neighbourhood is sketchy.

A fascinating museum with a wide range of exhibits that make science and history come alive. The displays are educational, engaging, and perfect for both adults and children. I particularly enjoyed the dinosaur and wildlife sections, which are impressive and very well presented. Entry was smooth and quick, and the visit was definitely worth it. A great place to learn and explore in Durban!

Great small museum with some classic Sth African displays. Includes an effort to educate on climate change and conservation as well. It was great to see plenty of locals coming through when we were there. No cost except the "parking attendants"...

I visited on a Sunday and managed to tour the first floor. We were lucky that we got parking outside the entrance. Entrance was free. The exhibits were well taken care off.

What a treat, place was Clean and tidy, you'd never believe you're in Durban CBD. It was also FREE! Kids enjoyed it, lots to learn even for older kids up to adults, There's a REAL Egyptian MUMMY too!

If the weather is great, the Golden Mile is one of the best places to take a leisurely walk solo or with some company. There are also enough piers for one to be overcrowded. It's also a great place for cycling or learning to cycle/skate/rollerblade... I found it long enough from one end to the other for cycling. There are parts of the mile that aren't well kept though, which is sad.

Its a beautiful n fairly pleasant walk. At times it has a nasty smell, which can make it rather unpleasant. Lots of activity, joggers, cyclists, skateboarders etc.

Awesome vibe, rikshas all over, friendly people, lots of food and drink places along the way

Great place to take a long walk, it is clean, safe and wheelchair friendly.

I heard there is a good running course but for me felt a little bit danger and fear cause.

Intellectually the smell of peoples urine is unjust to my standards of durban but other than that it has a nice view

Great spot to catch the sunrise after a morning run

Just as old as i am. Been coming here since my childhood. Well kept and interesting. Kids find it fascinating. Please support. It is run by a NPC.

Mini Town is a hidden gem! The miniature city is impressive and very well designed, making it fun for both kids and adults. Walking around the small-scale models gives a different perspective and makes the visit truly enjoyable. It’s a perfect stop for families, school trips, or anyone curious to see Durban in a unique way. Definitely worth a visit!

Minitown is well looked after and we had a great time experiencing it. What makes it even more special is the fact that everything is run from a control room by trained staff. I'll definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

Mini Town is well maintained, very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend popping in.

It was cute and a nice little stop for foreign visitors to Durban. As a Durbanite, i expected a little more, but still thought it worth the price. The detail in some of the set ups were pretty impressive and you can walk through the different 'exhibits' for a closer look. There is a facility to buy snacks and drinks. We've were there for about 30 minutes. Saw a school trip at mini town with a guide talking about some of the structures that represented building in Durban from a couple of years ago. That was a nice touch.

Really fun experience. There is a lot of small shops; harbour(with fish) and a airport. There is a very small tuckshop at the end.

That is beautiful and nice small mini house

Located in front of Ushaka with its large flat shoreline and relatively small incline makes it quite safe to swim and for the kids to play. There is lots of parking available at Ushaka and grab a bite at surf riders cafe. This is the perfect beach for the family to spend the day and soak up the sun.

A beautiful Beach 🏖️ Absolutely clean and hygiene Abundant clean parkings Visibility of the police in the area Well trained life guards who are so watchful on the swimmers There is a fully equipped Addington Hospital in the area The toilet and showering facility is absolutely clean with toilet paper available Plenty of eating outlets in the vicinity The breeze is fresh Just feel the breeze A beautiful place to spend the day ❤️

Amazing beach, lovely water and great atmosphere, however lifeguard on duty claiming to be a senior lifeguard had a lot of attitude sitting for shade by lifeguard duty stand. Very unhelpful and said I have attitude and doesn’t need to explain to me. Disappointed with that, been coming there for years and no lifeguard had any attitude but not this time not the case.

Absolutely Beautiful.Pristine clean. Beach ⛱️🏖️ as busy buzzing with people cyclists, couples with children and holiday makers. Went for a morning walk. Proudly South African Beautiful Summers day with a slight breeze 🌞 Really enjoyed my walk on the Promenade.

Best place to be lovely people and beautiful sights i adored the breeze ♥

Great experience and a Wonderful view.

Awsome beach with nice people, about 5 lifeguards on duty. Nice big waves with warm water and the beach is clean with a resturant

Wilson's Wharf is a charming spot in Durban, on the KwaZulu-Natal east coast, offering a delightful mix of relaxation, entertainment, and scenic beauty. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this waterfront destination has something for everyone. Visitors can expect scenic views, boat rides, restaurants and cafes, shopping and other fun activities. The wharf offers stunning views of the Durban harbour, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing meal. One of the highlights is the boat rides available at the wharf. Whether you're looking for a short harbour cruise or a more adventurous speed boat ride, there's an option for every thrill-seeker. Wilson's Wharf is home to several eateries, including great seafood restaurants, known for its delicious seafood and pizza. The ambiance is perfect for a family meal or a romantic dinner. The wharf also features various activities, especially the boat rides, picnics, and cultural tours. It's a great place to spend a day with family or friends. There are a few shops and boutiques where you can find souvenirs, local crafts, and more. Its family-friendly,  with activities for all ages. It offers a variety of options, from dining to entertainment, there's something for everyone. Most of all, it offers a beautiful setting and the waterfront location provides a picturesque backdrop for photos and relaxation. The downside is that during peak times, the wharf can get quite crowded, which might affect the overall experience and certain areas could benefit from better upkeep, especially in terms of cleanliness and maintenance.

A nice place to hang out for at any time to watch what is going on in the harbor. I stayed at the Mozambique at the far end of the complex close to the water. Waiters are helpful.. Food is tasty and the chili sauce spicy

Nice views but very dirty don't be there at night not safe

One of my favorite places to be, with so many food choices to eat at, to the beautiful view of the bay. With many activities like boat rides, fishing or just relaxing listening to music. Some of the restaurants you can eat at are spur, mozambik, julios, John dory's, house of curry's. Perfect place to spend the afternoon of a sunny day

It's been years since I've been to Wilson's Wharf. There a few restaurants that include Spur, Mozambique and John Dory's on the peer side. The main entrance has 1 restaurant that serves drinks too. However the many stalls and little shops that use to be inside are quite sparse. Only boat trips seem to make this area an attraction and if people are within the area looking for something to eat, go to these restaurants. A landmark in Durban that truly needs to be revamped. For myself and the many older people that once came to this bustling full of life spot, it is a sad decline. 🥺

10/10 for the boat cruise. The food at Spur was delicious. The staff is very friendly. However, the fact that its absolutely filthy is concerning. You can literally take 5 guys, 5 net scoops and plastic bags and they'll have it cleaned within a few hours. There's trash everywhere. Between the boats, in ramps, floating all over the place. This really is sad to see that's there's no respect for the ocean and the wharf. What does management even do? It's a big eye sore and would look beautiful if the bottles and plastic would just be picked up. There were a lot of people from over seas and their remarks alone wasn't great due to the filth scattered about. Please do something about this ASAP.

Really a must visit in Durban! Many great restaurants, will a super cool view. Buy some bread from a local shop and feed the fishies while you wait

A great park to have in an ideal location. This park has been around for a long time and is much needed for the surrounding folk and even neighboring communities Sufficient well spaced parking under great shaded trees. The area is a safe place to travel to and easily accessible. The whole that surrounds the park is well kept with high level maintenance. The facilities at the park is in need of some attention, especially the toilet. There can be an addition to the present and also greater upkeep and repairs. The Pick & Pay Hypermarket is close by and provides for an ideal opportunity to shop for all the necessary. Great to see the park still well supported. Also ample play areas for kids and adults. Would highly recommend for a wonderful experience

Always a peaceful experience walking around the gardens, visiting the little lakes.. Its always quite busy, but luckily we managed to get parking. Great for families, with a large jungle area, or just a walk out in nature

A beautiful place, it was my first visit of many. The place needs attending to. As a Horticulturist I saw places of improvement such as the pond, swings, parking space, more activities, and functional garden themes... Guys come on. But our stay was good 😊.

Still stays true to the original Japanese design theme. It does need some maintenance. Even so, it's a popular party venue. While there we saw 2 baby showers & 2 birthday parties around us. Good facilities. Nice playground for the kids. Get there early to secure a good picnic spot.

It is still a lovely place to visit with families, but it hasn't lost its charm over the years, although it did go through a phase of neglect.

It has a vintage feel to it, very clean. Quite a few monkey's there, that made me so uncomfortable. The monkey's didnt bother us though. It was fairly clean, I'd say the upkeep is as good as it could possibly considering the municipality as a whole never takes care of anything, but its much better than most parks.

What was once a beautiful place has now deteriorated. lack of maintenance. Grass over grown, trees not pruned. Kids Play ground equipment broken. The koi pond has debris. The water features are all dried up. The crossing bridge at the pond is demarcated with red tape as all the floor boards are broken. Very disappointed.

Love this little piece of heaven. Crabs were all hiding, but still worth the visit.

Highly recommend a visit.. very interesting and informative. Honoury Officer was very good with the young children accompanying us. Clean toilets and some refreshments available from the kiosk. Only open on certain weekends

Joined a pre booked guided tour, very interest on the go talk. By prior arrangement only

24 October 2024 This must be my second time coming here after 10 years ago. It is refreshing and you get in touch with nature. The dad part is that when we went close to the beach the effects of waste was visible. There was waste all over and I wish us people can understand how our ignorance and lack of empathy for the Environment is bringing harm. I enjoyed the tour and was reminisce about when I came here for the first time.

Such a lovely place to visit

Nice and educational for the little ones remember a hat!

Beautiful and educational outdoor experience near the city. The reserve is usually closed and only accessible/open once a month every 3rd Saturday of the month from 8am to 1pm. Entrance is free and there are lots of volunteer park rangers walking around interacting and educating the public. Addition there is also an initiative to encourage people to help clean up the litter on the beach. The entire walk is on a wooden raised train. The trail will roughly take you 45min and is flat. Great family venue.

Mitchell Park across the road is currently being renovated. We decided to go to this park instead. Perfect for picnics

I went there for a yoga class. Lovely, clean, and neat. The toilet was also clean, taking into account it was a public toilet.

Very serene and refreshing spot ideal for quality time with family and pets

I was looking for a park with a playground to take the kids to during school holidays. I saw that the playground area at Mitchell Park was closed so I searched for another park that specifically had a playground and this one came up. It's the park across from Mitchell Park and does not have a playground.

Dog friendly yet the sign outside says not dog friendly.

A wonderful dog park where the dogs are all friendly and play nicely. I wish some people would pick up after their dogs more but it’s a wonderful place to socialize your pet.

The park was very well maintained when we were there. Toilet facilities could do with an upgrade though. Very popular park for walking dogs.

Lot's do to.. lot's to see. Wether you just want to go for a bite to eat..surf..swim or just go for a walk this place can take care of that. Bike hire is available at skate park which is not far from here.

Just before sunset it's beautiful

This place is refreshing you see the water widely and the waves 👌

It's nice i wished I had more days there 😊

Good coffee

Good

(Translated by Google) I liked it and recommend it. Just be careful with the waves. (Original) Gostei e recomendo. Só tome cuidado com as ondas.

It was lovely to drive 30min from Durban and do a nature hike with a 4yr old and see zebra, rooibok and little duikers. The reserve needs some attention but everyone we met was friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Great place for hiking cycling and just walking.... The Reserve is clean and well kept 👌❤️ It has safe and secure parking Clear directions and map Markings are visible throughout the whole area Easy hike They have different kinds of species Saw a Zebra and impala 🦓🦌🌴

We had a very nice hike there. However, they don't have any printed maps to give you at the gate, and the large map is so faded that you can't clearly see the different hikes and lengths of each hike. We went with 2 small children, and although the hike itself was good, we did take a few wrong turns, as it's not clearly marked. The map situation and markers need to be upgraded urgently.

Not a bad reserve, we'll used and needs some work but amenities relatively clean. Was able to see both bushbuck, and a herd of about 5 zebra while walking

1. Lovely hiking site with lots to admire. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2. Went again after 3 years... Still a lovely spot with peaceful trails, beautiful trees & even zebras! 🦓 But the trail markings aren’t very clear now, which made the hike a bit confusing at times. Entry tickets were R70 pp.

I like the forest, it intense, green and safe. They just need to put more directions for trails, especially red trail.

Beautiful lovely walk we had there, nice braai facilities too

Not so big but it have many items. If you have interest in African culture, you can enjoy it.

Excellent local designs & craft. Beautiful craftmanship and colour combinations. The AAC team are helpful and friendly. They are a non profit organisation doing great work in Kwazulu Natal. Support local!

So if you are looking for that perfect, uniquely African gift for anyone and you haven't been down to the uShaka World Village Walk retail area - you should do yourself a favour and head down there. You will find a relaxed retail atmosphere with an assortment of shops - with flip flops fitting right in on this walk! I discovered a true little gem of Durban along the route - The African Art Centre. It is a fitting example of a truly spectacular collection of Local Artists' work - on display for sale. The old nik-naks found on the Durban beachfronts - aimed at the tourists which frequent Durban in the School Holidays, have no place in this art & craft gallery. Instead, there are intricately carved and brandished wooden African animal characters such as Peacocks, Owls & Rhinos - each with their own unique touches - with no two pieces being alike. You will also find brightly coloured intricate beadwork, fantastically complex basket weaving and exquisite jewellery in the form of beaded necklaces and bangles - displaying a rich tapestry of vibrant colours and geometric patterns. Not only are you supporting an indigenous 'cultural experience' which gives struggling artists a backbone for survival, but you will be warmed by the distinctively African feel of your affordable purchase. There is a larger selection of arts & crafts available at the headquarters - the Phansi Museum, situated at 500 Esther Roberts Road in Glenwood. A definite two thumbs up for adding to quality Durban Tourism!! Local is Lekker.

Excellent!! Amazing collection of arts and crafts. Master weavers and Potters work for sale. Absolutely loved our visit. Knowledgeable passionate staff. TOTALLY worth a visit!!

The African Arts Center is an amazing place where you can buy original crafts made through contemporary arts practices. It also has a nice cafeteria.

This is the most amazing venture. Providing an outlet for South Africa's amazing talent is a wonderful idea which has been beautifully done. I spent a pleasurable few hours at the center shop which is full of interesting art and craft products.

Been a customer of the AAC for many years. They have a wonderful selection of South Africa craft works primarily from the Durban and KZN area. They are a small non profit organization that provides support to numerous artists. They have the largest selection of handmade wooden animals where the colors and expressions are burnt into the wood. Huge selection of jewelry and holiday ornaments. They also have one of the best selections of telephone wire work in South Africa. Prices are less than you will find at most places in Durban and elsewhere in South Africa. Definitely worth checking the AAC out. It is a quick Uber or Taxi ride from downtown and elsewhere in the Durban area.

A little bit let go but I can imagine a whole lot of kids enjoying themselves here. Having been existing for quite a number of years, kids grow up and bring their children here. We did the cableway and although our hearts raced at the height, it was worth the beautiful view of funland and the ocean. We got a beautiful photo of ourselves on the ride for only R30

I know it's closing in May 2023 but I can see why. The stench of urine on the walls, the leaking ablutions on the roadside and the vomit on the stairs is enough to chase any possible holiday maker. It's sad that the pools in the front haven't been filled in more than 6 years, probably because they would be used as toilets or laundry facilities. Durban is in a very sad state.

It needed revamping .Painting Will make it look more appealing but kids still enjoy to be around there

For only 50 rands you will do on a fun ride with an amazing view of the waterfront! Yes it is 100% worth it. Just buy a ticket at the ticket booth and a guy will take a picture of you in a professional camera. When you come back down, he will already have it printed out in three different paper. 90 rand for the three of them, he can even send you the pictures by WhatsApp. Great experience!

Its a nice place to be at with the kids, the rides are fun and they have rides for both kids and adults but it can be so crowded and i wish they can add more exhilàrating rides

Very bland and uneventful. It feels like you are in an abandoned theme park with some random music playing in the background. They should renovate the place.

Great place. Nice rides for kids. Cute theme park. Cable car view is awesome

I’ve gone to a few jazz nights here & I absolutely love what they’re doing for the culture, especially for jazz music and just music as a whole. Their DJ also plays really cool music to listen and vibe to. The atmosphere & decor is really cool & it’s really a cool space. The food is a little limited but going there for the music is worth it. Love their alcoholic drinks as well.

Everything about The Chairman is chef’s kiss from the welcome at the door, styling of the interior, the warmth of the staff and of course the yummy food and incredible live music! Some of my best memories have been made at The Chairman.

An amazing gem of Durban's inner city life filled with amazing architecture, ambiance, music, culture, and of course great food.

Peaceful during the day and an absolute vibe during live music sessions. Mellow. The ambience here is amazing, and the art, pieces of furniture, and other features are just breathtaking. Not a very large variety of food items depending on your day of visit, but the offerings are great, particularly the pizza.

Watched a live performance by Umzulu phaqa. Great atmosphere, great service, love the people that go there. Just had drinks, it’s a bit pricey but worth it.

A culture lovers dream , aesthetics 10/10 , food 10/10 music selection 10/10 a not so hidden Durban gem where you can find amazing live music and vibes

Beautiful place. Lovely atmosphere and the waiters are just excellent.

The gallery is nice.. Artwork is displayed properly.. I just wondered why the artworks don’t have descriptions, I really couldn’t connect well with the artworks.

Beautiful building. Definitely worth a visit if it’s your first time in Durban, check out online before to see what exhibit is up. Would definitely advise ubering if it is your first trip into town. Driving and parking can be tricky.

The gallery is under renovation. Only one room is open, not very impressive

Great learning centre but their air conditioning is worst

I have been in this place several times and still enjoy like it's the first time visit... beautiful artwork, watching types of animals with descriptions on them hearing sounds as well also able to touch some of the animals gives me a thrill to come back to this place..... great place to be indeed

Wonderful & helpful reception from securities at the entrance, wide range of books & dvď's to choose from not to mention dvd's, restrooms available, wheelchair accessible, cash & cards accepted, great place to familiarize kids who are already at school due to kiddies section provided downstairs at the library. No food allowed inside however close few eating outlets.

Amazing Public gallery hosting beautiful exhibitions from local and international artists. The gallery is over 100 years old. It is on the 2nd floor of the City Hall building. It also hosts artwork from the 15th century. The diversity of the gallery makes for accurate representation of the man histories of the KZN region.

The space is brilliant for art exhibitors. The gallery is small wil some fine pieces. There is plenty of seating space for patrons and even a stage area. On the other hand the Cafe is average at most. The food is freshly prepared, but the portions and are miserly plated. Don't let the sent of coffee brewing fool you, the coffee is substandard. Visit to support the art movement and a quick nibble.

A beautifully curated space that lets the art breathe. Clean lines, great light, and a thoughtful mix of emerging and established KZN artists. The shop and cafe make it easy to linger. A true anchor for Durban’s creative community.

Very nice spot for a quiet date. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they serve alcohol too. The prices for the cocktails are quite high and the service at restaurant is abit slow but otherwise I had a great experience.

Always love coming here not only for the art but the cafe and shop. Lovely space.

KZNSA (KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts) blends crisp, subtropical modernism with a relaxed, community feel. The street face is pared back—whitewashed brick, slim steel frames, big glass—and along the garden edge deep louvered screens and a light canopy cast patterned shade, creating that easy inside–outside flow. Inside, the tall white-cube gallery is calm and flexible; the shop stacks up like a creative loft with a steel mezzanine; and the café runs through a long, high space with stepped brick flooring and beautiful, filtered daylight. I went specifically to get some work done and it delivered. The Wi-Fi was solid and there were plenty of people on laptops, which gave the place a focused, productive energy. The outdoor terrace is shaded and easy-going—perfect for catching up with friends between tasks. I had a light meal (pretty good) and the chocolate cake was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive; the waiters were great. Verdict: As a café/art centre combo, it’s welcoming, unpretentious, and well designed—good shade, good air, good sightlines. I’m giving it 3/5 for now, not as a knock on the venue, but because I haven’t sampled enough of the menu to make a full five-star call yet. I’ll update after a few more visits.

A beautiful gallery to visit with new exhibits regularly on display. The accompanying shop has an excellent variety and range of truly African craft on offer and you’re guaranteed to find something to take home. The cafe and restaurant serves a lovely offering well presented and priced with vegetarian options. Definitely worth a visit.

A perrenial favourite coffee, breakfast or lunch meet up venue. it's always so soul enriching to wander around the gallery too. The gift shop has amazing gifts and cards too - to meet all price ranges.

uShaka is always a lovely place to visit when coming to Durban. I hadn’t been here since before Covid and was worried when I saw all the negative reviews, however it’s not bad at all. There are staff everywhere to assist, the spaces are kept clean, and the shows, aquarium and slides are all very enjoyable. We were here during off peak season so it was not busy at all. The parking has attendants on the inside and you have to pay at the gate too. The payment at the gate was R21 for about 6 hours, which isn’t too bad. I recommend having some cash as well. It’s important to check the website before planning your trip so you know when is the best time to visit based on what’s available.

This place is truly one of Durban’s gems and a must-visit for anyone looking to combine fun, adventure, and a touch of education. From the moment I walked through the vibrant uShaka Village Walk, I felt immersed in the atmosphere. The seal show was entertaining and full of charm, while the dolphin show was nothing short of magical; seeing these intelligent creatures up close was unforgettable. The aquarium is breathtaking, with its wide variety of marine life and incredible underwater displays. I also explored the Dangerous Animals and Reptiles exhibit, which added an exciting edge to the day - it was fascinating and a little thrilling to see these creatures so closely. Every section was well thought out, interactive, and engaging. What really stood out for me was how well the park blends education with entertainment. It’s not just about having fun; you also walk away learning more about marine life, conservation, and the beauty of the ocean. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. Overall, uShaka Marine World elevated my experience in Durban - it’s the kind of place where families, couples, or even solo adventurers can all find something special. I left with great memories, plenty of photos, and the desire to come back again! Highly recommended. 🌊🐬🐠🐊

uShaka Marine World is an incredible place to visit! The aquarium is one of the best I’ve seen, with an amazing variety of marine life and beautifully designed exhibits. The water park adds even more fun, especially for families with children. The atmosphere is vibrant and safe, with plenty of food and entertainment options around. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, especially during weekends and holidays, as it gets very busy. A must-see attraction in Durban!

Best place to visit around Durban. There are Marine Aquarium, Dolphin and seal shows, Dangerous creature show, water adventures, rope adventure and water parks. Everything totally worth. You can also take seperate tickets for each events, but it's better to take combo tickets. Go for water park if u gonna spend the whole day there. Ticket prices are also not high, but affordable. We really enjoyed it

What a great experience at uShaka Marine World! We wandered through the aquarium and honestly lost track of time—quiet walkways, huge viewing windows, and that lovely hush when a turtle glides past. Even the “non-fish people” in our group ended up pointing things out and taking way too many photos. Outside had a fun, holiday feel. We grabbed an easy lunch, drifted between shops, and caught a dolphin show without planning to—perfect little break for our feet. Salty air, friendly staff, and plenty of shady spots made it an effortless day out. We left sun-tired, smiling, and already talking about coming back.

uShaka is a beautiful big place to do alot of things, inreally think they did an outstanding job with the layout. The only thing I'd recommend is to improve on the seal show, it's was a little bit of a waist of time, they only have a short briefing then select soemone from the audience to meet a seal, and that's it show is over, I feel they can do a little more than a 5mint show, for me it was a waist the kids could hardly enjoy, the dolphin show was so amazing, got to give it tobthe staff that handles the dolphin show now that definitely worth to see, some areas where closed, and some restaurants are closed, so it's a little bit sad, I'd prefer to go early morning, as midday is extremely busy if you not someone for large groups of people. To view the marine life. They definitely are doing a great job and that you have an opportunity to meet the dolphins personally, but you would need to book ahead of time with them to personally have an experience with the dolphins. But the show you don't need booking.

Fun day out! We did the wet n wild and the aquarium but felt like we needed more time for both. The aquarium is so beautiful! The wet n wild felt a bit dated and could use some upkeep but the kids really enjoyed it

Nice art centre. I went there for a film festival and they have a sizeable hall for events and nice restaurant with facility for live concerts. There was a jazz band on last Sunday when I was there. And it’s opposite the harbour so great view.

I love the place. There's been good improvement over the last few months, there's a fresh buzz around the place. However, there's not much parking so when there's a big event, it becomes a challenge. I was recently there for the Dancing Brushes Exhibition, great talent

Good experience of the arts and crafts with exhibitions of garments, bead work and music

Great place for friends and family to watch some of our province's best youth performances from poetry, dancing, singing and many other arts !

Just a paid back and stimulating venue to visit.Everyone I met was relaxed and friendly.😁

Awesome showcase of ethnic arts and crafts. From Sbu's amazing wax figures at the Lungelo Wax Museum to Everado's ethnic paintings and lunch / dinner at the Craft Harbour Views restaurant under the new owner, Zinhle's capable supervision. Well worth a visit to support these amazing artists and entrepreneurs. Craft Harbour Views have live music on Sunday's and Zinhle is planning on showcasing local arts, cultures and music during the week with evening sessions.

If you like Camden in London you will like this place. You can see and meet young ambitious artist at work. If you have luck you can purchase something unic will alway remind you to your Durban trip. ..

Nice place to take your family and relax while enjoying the beautiful view. I personally really enjoy fishing here especially under the bridge it's a good fishing spot.

If you into the afternoon drives, taking a stroll on the pier and indulging in things like fried mealies, fried sweetcorn, sugarcane juices, and so much more then this is for you. You can even spend the whole day at the area and have a braai or picnic. It's perfect for a family can you can even take your dogs for a walk here. It's mainly for the weekends has thats when the stalls are opened

"Canoeing in breathtaking Blue Lagoon spots today! 🌊💚 Paddling through turquoise waters, surrounded by nature's masterpiece. Imagine gliding past sea caves, spotting marine life like turtles 🐢, and soaking in sunset hues 🧡. Whether it's Malta's Gozo, French Polynesia's Raiatea, or Durban's Blue Lagoon in South Africa 🏞️, these spots are pure magic for canoeing adventures! #BlueLagoon #Canoeing #WaterAdventures #NatureEscape"

The weather was perfect that day and it was great to see the river flowing freely. Unfortunately, the later in the day you go down there the more you'll deal with taxis packed to the brim with passengers - music blaring, which spoils the ambience of the relaxing spot. But choose your time and it's perfect. Good food.

Nothing there just beach and pools for kids

It's very disappointing. Beach isn't clean , and it needs a very big clean. The grass island is also dirty. There is so much potential at this Beach. Expect random to come up to asking for money for their shelter, generally just for money and cigarettes if they see you smoking. No fishermen in site, used to normal to see people fishing. Could smell a little bit of sewage from the sea, not as bad as before, thou.

The atmosphere isn’t the same as before (good old years ) however the stalls are Ally’s , Shanthas and bilaals same taste same freshness Each stall has its own uniques Ally’s for their wors rolls (and pani puri) Shanthas for the vedas Bilaals for the fresh chips Always friendly and welcoming

Durban Beachfront is an absolute gem, especially in the tranquil morning hours. The sight of numerous people jogging along the beach creates a lively atmosphere, with an abundance of activities to partake in. It's truly a local treasure, bustling with families, walkers, joggers, and skaters alike. While the beachfront buzzes with energy and excitement, it's essential to exercise caution with your belongings. Despite this, Durban Beachfront remains a fantastic spot for a delightful day out with loved ones, offering a plethora of recreational opportunities against the backdrop of the stunning coastline. In summary, Durban Beachfront exudes charm and vitality, making it the perfect destination for a rejuvenating morning escapade or a leisurely day spent soaking in the sun. With its diverse array of activities and vibrant ambiance, it's no wonder that locals and visitors alike flock to this coastal paradise time and time again.

A God-given promenade that offers a multitude of activities. From deep-sea boat launch 'pads', off shore fishing, water skiing, kite skiing, walking/running/cycling on the promenade, exercising and body toning workouts... and so much more. We enjoyed an exceptional warm-up and a good brisk walk in the morning. Security has been spruced up and is clearly visible, with regular patrols on bicycles, motor bikes, and 4 x 4 bakkies. A span of culinary outlets for your sunrise breakfasts, midday lunches, and awesome sunset dinners. Your palette cravings from Continental and Cultural cuisines can be found along this East Coast paradise. Durban, where the fun never sets.

A trio of friends walked the length of Durban beachfront recently before dawn, and all 3 were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and maintenance evident by our municipality. There was not a single piece of litter or debris. All lights lamppost and route markers working and public restrooms were on and functional- and all grassed areas were manicured. The area in front of UShaka a particular revelation with a cleaner truck in action. Current eThelwini municipality are really trying hard, and friends and families are once again clearly enjoying our amenities as it was packed. Giving kudos where it's due.

Durban is the cleanest I have seen it in years! A lot of police presence and a lovely vibe with people running, walking, cycling, swimming, etc.

Got to see a luve baptism event in progress, it was raining while we were there.

The beach is clean compared to what I heard Not too crowded and very pleasant to visit with the lil ones

Cousins in tow, we did an early March walk along the beachfront—soft light, rollers coming in, runners and cyclists everywhere. We grabbed coffees from a kiosk, sat on the wall, and let the morning open up around us. Later the kids rented bikes and we cruised a flat section together. No agenda, just sea air and a lot of waves to point at.

Great facility for national and international galas but needs a refurbishment.

Safe parking for events at pool. Outside pool was used - limited shade. Indoor pool not available due to railing repairs.

Great facilities, just seems that they are very often closed for maintenance. Currently the notice says closed until further notice.

My go to swimming pool for training! Well maintained and even in the hight of December there were free lanes!

Beautiful Olympic size, undercover and heated pool and also has an outside diving pool. Two reasons for a 4 star crit is the uncomfortable seating on the stands as well bathroom/changing facilities that desperately need upgrading.

Marvelous place is good to swim gala n Olympics swimmer so big

Its a great pool, not very recreational, more on the athletic side, the price is too high for a public pool

I had my daughters birthday party at the branch in Pavilion and I was extremely impressed by the staff. They were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much of an effort for them. Wish we had more people offering such exceptional customer service.

Lovely place for the kids. They have nice games, a few more different than the other fun company. There’s a cool virtual reality game. Tenpin bowling available for families, and there a bar close by.

This is an exciting & fun filled arcade boasting games for various age categories. Its has a chilled vibe and the children have loads of fun and entertainment

The music was great, the atmosphere was fun. There were a few technical difficulties but overall still a fun experience. With minor tweaking it would be great.

My grandchild had fun and enjoy the day with bumper cars. The staff is helpful and friendly

The bowling experience itself was enjoyable although ,the lady that was managing the computer kept making awful mistakes, the place is under staffed and is in need of more staff that is competent.

It's very good. However the bowling lane number 4 has a slight curve on the left and right side

It was a good trip. The boat was a bit full with people for a party 🥳 🎉. So a person did not really want to sit and invade their space. Also sea was a bit rough so we did not go out of the harbor althou other boats were passing us to go out.

Beautiful experience if you haven’t had a ride please make time 😝 Highly recommend it.

Took a boat ride at Wilson's Wharf, was my first educational cruise😁. Our driver was informative in a nice way. It was a nice cruise, expected some waves but there really wasn't any adrenaline rush. Only there was were small waves (the ones without any foam). Up side to this place is you can order whiles you wait for your cruise time.

A beautiful boating experience indeed. R130 per person for 1 hour and there are photos taken just before you board and they only cost R50 for a print out. You are allowed to bring your drinks for entertainment and children are also allowed.

The service is good. Don't forget to bring along your drinks and snacks

Priceless Memories...what a ride...although sometimes I always feel sea sick .. ❤️ Captain polite and friendly 💯🔥🔥

Your crew members were fantastic! We had such a good time! Thank you so much! I would highly recommend that anybody who reads this, schedule your next cruise with them!

Clean and the life gaurds are always on sight during the day

Not like before but its coming back to its past standards

Very nice and good place to explore

We did the SUP SA Champs and the there was an iron man race. The atmosphere was amazing ❤️

Great for families and solo dates. The waves are not bad also. The beach isn't entirely clean. There are securities and life savers everywhere which makes it easy and safe to swim here. The people around are also friendly and always willing to help. Walking distance to Ushaka Marine World and also Rickshaw ride. A great view Moses Mabhida Stadium. Also showers are change are available and secured. Quite peaceful.

I'm so happy that they cater for doggies and they allow them to run free and enjoy themselves on the beach. Durban needs more of this. Very clean and safe and worth going to. I love Ushaka beach.

Love the cleanness of the waves and the beach 🏖

Best high end market to support local. No imported, cheap and nasty things on sale. Lovely aircon hall for hot summer days. Something for everyone. Definitely worth a visit.

This was my first time going to the I Heart Market and I was so excited to go but when we got there I was a little disappointed. I expected more stalls to be present, especially food stalls which is the reason I love going to markets😁 I think it will be lovely once there's a variety of stalls present especially in terms of food and snacks where as now its very limited in my opinion. The location however is awesome, great place to spend the day with family or friends and amazing for kids. I would definitely visit again once there's more stalls.

Vibrant, entertaining, relaxing, a lovely spot to spent ones Saturday mornjng - even if it is just to sit under the beautiful huge trees or on the grassy area and just observe the surroundings. Lots of interesting items available for sale especially the home made items - arts and crafts etc. Plenty food stalls to choose a snack or light meal. Good spot for the enter family.

An awesome way to start your Saturday morning. There are different stalls to buy food and clothes amongst other things. It’s a safe place to bring your children and pets.

Nice outdoor seating. Still prefer the lawns and trees for shade of the other venue. But still a good hangout spot for a Saturday morning. Fresh food, local trade.

Trendy market hosted on the first Saturday of every month. I've been a few times and on one occasion I enjoyed a delicious chicken spicy chow mein. It was divine. And a fresh juice which was so yummm. There's plenty to do, eat and enjoy. From local made clothing and accessories to home industry food, beer and delicious desserts that get sold out in a flash. There's live music and henna artists. It's a bustling market jam packed with the best of local everything!

Dont go expecting amazing deals, Stuff of are on the more premium side but food is good with a wide selection available, a must visit if you are a foodie

Wow.. This was such an amazing spot! I want to go back.

Surf was awesome! Too many vagrants!! Lifesaving Club has amazing Food and Coffee! The service was outstanding!!

Nice place to be! Brilliant views of the Durban beachfront. Saw quite a lot of large fish swimming past below us, and it was cool to watch the learner surfers doing their stuff right next to us, as the pier goes right out to backline. The pier is nice and spacious so there's no problem with walking along there. We were also able to push a wheelchair along there quite easily, so access is great. Enjoyed my time there.

It's New Pier or Pier 1, Health and Safety is 1 priority and thereafter rules entering premise is followed, tight security process. Thereafter, Transnet officials like a site supervisor are there to guide trucks entering or waiting for the time of their pick-up appointment, truck have to follow the guidelines to of lanes too follow, in order to pick-up their freight container.

It a great place for a pic 📸 great atmosphere 👌

It's was my first time really enjoy even though it scary

Clean. Well taken care off. Police presence all over. Impressed

Cool place for a visit

Dirty as hell...

Beach ⛱ clean

I love this place

Wow

Nice

Amazing place to chill at, there's plenty of stuff to keep a person entertained. I've had a wonderful experience at the Cinecenter and Ocean Basket. It wasn't too crowded and security seemed alert.

Wonderful choice for my business trip. Rooms are sparkling clean and serviced daily. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast in the morning is fresh and the choices numerous. I will urge anyone traveling for business or holiday to stay here, it is beautiful, right on the beach and very central.

It was my first time at Suncoast. I stayed for 2 nights in a standard room. Check in was seamless, front desk staff were welcoming and helpful. My room was sea facing, and cozy. Access to the beach was easy, with the casino side having a lot of restaurants. Wifi good, plenty parking areas. Breakfast had a variety of options. Value for money Ask for room on the upper floor to take advantage of the ocean views.

Our kids fav spot... Good food and entertainment.. Entertainment:- Casino For kids:- The fun company & The water sprinklers at the open area- this one is free so anyone can access it. Plenty of food places to choose from from fast food to sit in restaurants some are :- thava restaurant, nandos, rocomamas, kfc, fishaways, steers, debonairs, Ocean basket, Spur, John dory's, Calistos Maltos, Tiger tiger and quite a few more. This is our go to place coz it's so family friendly...it really has something for the whole family. The first Pic is of drinks in calistos and the second one is of the open area in which the kids can play

Such a beauty of a casino, situated right next to the ocean and Moses Mabhida view, and has multiple restaurants options. A very good and fun place to spend your day at.

I love Suncoast Casino beach, not crowded, safe. Great restaurants here, 👌

This place is exceptionally neat and beautifully maintained, with friendly staff who are always smiling and eager to assist - whether you’re unsure of what you’re looking for or just need guidance. They truly deserve recognition or a bonus for their outstanding service. I had an amazing experience visiting with my family, and they keep asking when we’ll be going back.

Thw facilitators are amazing and the activities were really great.

All in one family outing... Horse riding, cycling, hiking and restaurants

It was tranquil, horses were living. Facilators were very friendly..

A nice all round place for fun activities of all sorts for the whole family. If you haven't tried it you must give it a try. Staff are also super friendly and helpful going out of their way to assist.

A fabulous family destination for biking, hiking and birding! Good coffee and pizzas too. The trails are well sign posted.

Great place for fun runs,hikes,mountain biking, bmx track, facilities for parties weddings conference team building etc can order breakfast lunches beverages beers

Awesome experience, worth the drive through, make a weekend of it defineltly enough to keep you busy, trail rides are amazing.

Love what they did to the place. It used to be much less clean and inviting a few years ago but they've really stepped up their game. It looks great with clean ice, a Cafe, ample seating and a couple conference rooms. Staff are friendly and prices are pretty reasonable.

I used to go there as a kid. 38 years ago. Loved every minute

Was very fun! Needs some more entertainment. Maybe speed skaters...races...games...be more interactive. Best to go on a Saturday when you have that extra hour. Purchased another voucher on Hyperli will definitely be going back

Revisiting the ice rink after many years I was impressed with the service. On the ice were marshalls to assist the skaters. Hiring a seal was worthwhile for the kids, it allowed them to manoeuvre on the ice.The toilets were clean & the ice cafe is halaal with plenty of seating.

There is no longer an ice rink here, it has been fully converted to a events/function venue. A very under rated one which not many ppl know about. There are many options for functions of different capacities. The owner himself offered us a tour. The problem tho is that there is no parking available for guests attending a function -u are offers to use a parking lot down the road, but to walk that way esp at night in durban is def not safe, then to do that is perhaps fancy clothes/heels is a no no.

My whole family enjoyed. Buzzy and great place to be at. Staff is patient to show and gives tips to first time skaters. Worth spending time there.

The experience was beautiful.its a fun place to go to especially with famaly.the marshal's there are really helpful.i would also suggest that you can take your potential other on a first date there 😂😂 try skating together holding hands and stuff 😎

The park is very nice and has security patrol. The netball/basketball courts are more convenient for netball not basketball as there are no nets on the hoops and the bounce boards are missing. Baseball court is still good

Multi sports courts (netball, Volleyball and Basketball), Soccer/Softball ground, Ablutions and grand stands(they need a bit of fixing).

I love that there's plenty of parking, and guards were very alert. There was enough space for different sports code.

Place looks a bit scruffy and some stuff is broken but it gets the job done.

Very exciting place to be.. So much fun...

Great space for school sporting events

Good facility for netball...but bad because nowhere to buy drinks and food etc
