Durban Mini Town Retro Board

Durban Mini Town!
 
Mini Town in Durban is a beloved miniature city attraction that dates back to the early 1970s. It was created as a tourism and educational project to showcase Durban’s landmarks in a scaled-down format.
The concept was to give visitors—especially children—a chance to explore a “tiny Durban,” complete with replicas of iconic sites like the City Hall, Moses Mabhida Stadium, and the beachfront Golden Mile.
The models were built at a scale of about 1:24 and were meticulously crafted to reflect real architectural details. Mini Town became a popular family destination and a nostalgic spot for locals, often used for school trips and leisure outings.
Over the decades, it was maintained by a non-profit organization, with proceeds supporting charitable causes.
Recently, there have been reports that Mini Town faced financial challenges and was at risk of closing, making it a piece of Durban’s cultural heritage that many people remember fondly from childhood
