Fun World Amusement Park

A place of nostalgia for the parents who bring their children here, the Fun World Amusement Park situated on Durban's bustling beachfront provides safe and secure family entertainment that kids of all ages will enjoy. Take the gondola ride to enjoy a scenic view of the beachfront from the air, let the older kids enjoy carnival rides such as the Breakdance, Hully Gully, Tilt-a-Whirl or Swingboat, while the tiny tots can get their thrill on in the Elephant Ride or the Carousel. The nearby paddling pools, recently renovated, are a great place for smaller children who are too young for the ocean waves, and kids of all ages can find something to enjoy in the underground arcade. Fun World is relatively safe during the day, but tourists should not walk around in the area after dark. It's close to bus and taxi routes, and nearby to some of Durban's most popular beachfront hotels.
