It's January, or Janu-worry, as some might refer to it, and while many parents are literally counting down the days before the start of school, others are looking for low-cost things to do around Durban. 

Finding something cost-effective to do after the festive season and before school can be tricky. 

Here's a fun solution that isn't just packed with fun and variety but is also free!

Westown Square, a relatively new mall located in Shongweni, features a large play area suitable for toddlers and slightly older children. 

The kids' play area overlooks the beautifully landscaped Town Gardens and is located near the Bowl open-air amphitheatre. 

The mall is open from Sunday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm. There is also a Maker's market for artisanal products and a Food market.
