Minitown is a knee-high replica of Durban and its most notable buildings and includes working models of ships in the harbor, rail and airport facilities. The replicas are built to scale of just 1/25 that of the real world. As night falls on Minitown, the city lights cast twinkling reflections on the lake and the harbor, transforming Minitown into a fantasyland. Although Minitown dates back more than 30 years, most visitors are not aware that Minitown is a charitable organization that raises funds for the Quadriplegic Association. It is also committed to creating job opportunities for disabled people. Open daily 9:30 am-4-30 pm. 114 Snell Parade, North Beach, Durban. Phone 337-7892.
