Johannesburg, 24 November 2025: Mall of Africa is preparing to enthral shoppers this festive season with an extraordinary line-up of experiences, community initiatives and extended shopping hours. From 28 November to 27 December, families can look forward to a mini golf experience inspired by Disney’s upcoming animated adventure, Zootropolis 2, plus special activations and charitable collaborations that capture the spirit of togetherness and joy.

A World of Adventure and Imagination

The nine-hole mini golf experience inspired by Disney’s Zootropolis 2, presented by FNB and Mall of Africa, featuring a collaboration with VW, will be located at Waterfall City Park. Offering an enchanting journey through the vibrant world of Zootropolis, it will operate from 9 AM to 8 PM daily. Each hole brings to life scenes from the film’s bustling animal metropolis, offering players of all ages a mix of challenge, creativity and fun. Tickets are available from R85 per person on Howler.co.za or at the gate. Pre-booking is encouraged.

Disney’s Zootropolis 2 releases at Ster-Kinekor Mall of Africa on Friday, 28 November. In this next chapter, detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return to tackle a thrilling new mystery that tests their partnership and takes them to the wildest corners of the city.

Families can also visit the enchanting Disney installation in the Crystal Court from Saturday, 22 November, presented in collaboration with FNB, PEP, The Lego Group and Toys R Us. Featuring more than 600 Disney and Marvel plush toys, the display will support Reach For A Dream. Here, shoppers will have a chance to make a meaningful difference by helping brighten the lives of children facing critical illnesses.

Shopping, Giving and Sharing the Joy
