We were really looking forward to visiting the stadium as it is interesting from an architectural perspective and as we wanted to get a good view of Durban from the top of the stadium. Sadly, and perhaps because of COVID and steep declines in revenue, there is not much one can do (or would want to do) at the stadium these days. We quickly learned that the cable car to the top of the arch is not working and that they are also not offering the tour that has you walk up the stairs to the top of the arch. You can take a tour of the inside of the stadium, but I'm not sure it would be worth the time. There are a few shops and restaurants that are operating along the outside perimeter of the stadium. Unless you book the tour of the inside of the stadium, all you can really do is walk around or rent bikes and bike around - but I'm not sure why you would want to do it there when you could do so on the beach with better views and better restaurant choices. I really hope they are able to fix the cable car soon. Otherwise, as a tourist, I wouldn't waste your time on a visit unless you are just obsessed with stadiums.

I was really looking forward to going on top of the arch. Unfortunately on arrival we found both the big swing and cable car are closed, despite what it says on their website. They have been closed for many months, and the ticket office does not know when/if they will be reopening.

Our tour took us to this huge football stadium, and we were puzzled why. It was dirty and unpleasant, cold functional architecture. It was a struggle to walk around as distances were great and the experience just plain unpleasant.

This was an iconic place to visit when in Durban.
It's becoming decapitated anc not maintained. The cart that was in operation does not work and has been out of commission for a few years now. Loosing it's spectacular attraction. Also loosing the income to attract clients to it's once spectacular attraction. The Segway place is a great way to view the attractions close by.
The stadium is not maintained and has lost it's appeal.

Hired bikes from the retail sports outlet at the stadium. Easy access to Durban beachfront. Get there early as its beautiful on the beachfront at 7am, and there were crowds at the weekend hiring bikes.

Ideal tourist attraction, the archetecture of the stadium is really amazing. Go for bungee jumping or the tour of the stadium. Really amazing!

Whether it's to watch a football match, have a superb view of Durban, get a workout at the top class Virgin active gym, be thrilled with a big swing over the stadium, enjoy a lovely Ninos meal, hire a bicycle or just hang out then Moses Mabida Stadium is the place to be.

A few weeks ago on a clear sunny day we took our grandkids up to the top on the enclosed lift. The view over the whole of lower Durban and the beachfront was spectacular and we would recommend visiting this attraction to anyone visiting the area.

Take the sky car on a sunny day and enjoy the stunning views from the top. Then enjoy lunch at a choice of restaurants.

Is the walk above the stadium only possible at the weekends? The website indicates it is but the sky swing that uses the same walk way is open on other days.

How to book the sky walk ??
Written August 5, 2022
There is a current article in the Mercury News about the skycar being in need of repair and unsafe.
This should be on your media Pages if your premises are unsafe for visitors

When we did the walk we had intended to use the car. We were informed that it had been out of order for a number of weeks and that the part they needed was still not received.
We were not impressed and told the staff that.
We did the walk though and found it thoroughly enjoyable.
Bit of work and hot in the sun but we could stop and take pictures when we wanted to etc. Apart from the discomfort of wearing a harness I was happy that I did the walk.
If the article says that it is in disrepair then it probably is.

Hi, shall we book the sky walk ahead of time or just rock up? we are in Durban for 3 days later in March. Thanks

Some days due to wind conditions could be closed or suspended or even closed for maintenance. best to check on the day rather then go through and be disappointed
