Cresta Shopping Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cresta Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located on the border of Northcliff and Cresta, and is one of the largest shopping centres in the Southern Hemisphere. It has gone through eight recent extensions and refurbishments.

The original design of the shopping centre had a model train which would run through the centre of the shopping centre stopping at various places around the inner mall to allow passengers off. The train would then come out one of the entrances and around a loop. Turning the train around inside the centre was done on a giant turntable, which became more popular to watch than the train itself. The train was removed in approximately 1988.
