uShaka Kids World is a haven for kids from the ages of 2yrs to 12yrs, designed with jam packed activities and interactive areas. Boast Africa's biggest jungle gym, to Crabby Beach (giant sandpit) to Polly's Paint Pen (painting paradise) and for our movie stars, Cast-Aways (show time stage area) it's fun from sun-up to sun-down.

It is quite a huge aquarium and the variety of the sea creatures was just amazing! You enter a shipwreck and walk deeper and deeper into the shipwreck, very cool! Very good designed and also to the explanation of the pollution of the seas was thought. It's getting very cold when you enter the deep sea with the sharks, take a jacket!

A really fun place, very enjoyable and relaxing. However the it is very cost prohibitive, starting with the entrance fee, hiring of equipment and food. Avoid going on high peak periods as there would be long delays on the queues therefore you will not get value for money. Cleanliness of showers and toilets should be improved by increasing the frequency of cleaning.

The Durban Botanical Gardens is the oldest botanical Gardens in the country. Entrance is free. The Gardens have a wonderful selection of indigenous and exotic trees, shrubs and bushes.

Moses Mabhida Stadium offers adventure activities for fun seekers. Try out the SkyCar ride to the top of the arch or walk 500 steps to the sky platform on the Adventure Walk. All Access Tours, Segway Tours and the world's only stadium Big Swing can be found here too along with a variety of shops and restaurants.

Limited Restaurants. Disappointing if you are looking for Food Varieties. Municipality has let down the people of the city by not having more food tenants. Sky cart and Bunjee jumping still expensive..On Saturdays there is a flee market and on Sundays People's Park, which is next door sees many families picnicking on the lawns
5. Umgeni River Bird Park

Reviewed By Shawbones - Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
For the price of admission this place is worth your time. They have several aviaries where you can walk through and observe birds up close. A good selection of exotic birds. The show was so-so- nothing spectacular. They have a pair of mynnahs that do a good job speaking. Several of their parrots speak as well. In one aviary there is a starling that is quite tame amd will perch on you. The larger birds are also interesting. Good for several hours of enjoyment IF YOU LIKE BIRDS.

We went there with the kids and we tasted all they have to offer and we were 4 people and we ate for about 250 rand that was very cheap and the food was heavenly. And the nice thing was that the food was great. Have adviced every body I know to go and try it out. Will not be disappointed.

Densely forested and dotted with gorges, streams and villages, this valley makes for a stunning scenic drive.
Reviewed By LuxeFamilyFun - United States
After being mostly disappointed with Durban, we took a drive to this area - about 40 minutes outside the city and couldn't believe how things changed from being very nice and hilly, to being spectacular, with towering hills and lush vegetation.
It's one of the few times that I'd say taking the drive to see this area is worth it.
9. Golden Mile

The golden mile Promenade is beautiful. At any given day it is full of runners, beach-goers, cyclists and people walking. Its a sight to behold on Saturday and Sunday morning where it would seem like the whole of Durban is out jogging. Durban Climate also comes to the party.
Best place to unwind. Also you have fast food outlets, games area for kids, skateboard park, restaurants, bars etc
10. Big Rush Urban Adrenaline

A 352 walk up the stadium arch to the biggest swing in the world. A swing across the soccer pitch below that was used in the 2010 soccer world cup. The stadium is beautiful and the views of Durban and the coast from the top exhilarating. To top it all off you get to jump off a small walkway to swing across a soccer pitch - Awesome!
