Activities for small kids

Hello

We are planning to visit Durban when summer comes and stay in the Umhlanga, La Lucia, Ballito side. Other than going to the beach and uShaka Marine, what other places are good to keep young kids entertained(3 years and younger)?

Thank you 💜

Flag Animal Farm is always a good choice! Can’t remember the entry fee but it is fairly priced. The kids get a ticket to a tractor ride and get to pet the various animals around.

Umgeni bird park and the Beachwood mangroves reserve are close together. Galleria mall has an 'ice rink' and go carting which the kids may enjoy. there are also boat rides at Maydon Warf. There's the maritime museum not far but I haven't been there in ages.
