Specially Kids

There are plenty of places of interest for children to see around the city. Besides the usual, Mumbai has several lit buildings around the Fort area and a night ride by the buggy or Victoria (easily available) to these sights could be exciting. Also, during Diwali and Christmas the city takes on a particularly festive look and a special trip to a five-star hotel for its decorations, especially the well-lit and adorned Christmas tree is always fun.

Parks and Playground

There are many parks and playgrounds around the city providing the necessary outdoor activity, greenery and fresh air that kids enjoy. The beachfronts such as Chowpatty at Marine Drive, Worli sea face and Juhu are mini entertainment parks with Ferris-wheels, 'merry-go-rounds' and horse and camel rides.

Amusement Parks

There a few amusement parks such as Esselworld and Water Kingdom situated near Manori beach. Also Fantasy Land near Jogeshwari has some good rides.

Zoo

Besides these, the zoo (Jijamata Bhonsle Udyan) near Byculla is a joy for chidren. Housed in Victoria Gardens, the oldest and largest public garden in Mumbai, it is sprawling complex with a variety of animals and birds.

Acquarium

The Taraporewala Acquarium opposite Chowpatty, with its exotic marine life and rare species of fish, is a delight to kids

Nehru Planetarium

This planeterium is part of the Nehru Centre complex and an excellent place to bring chidren for educational programmes and exhibits lunar and astronomical photographs. It holds regular audio-visual shows on astronomy. The Nehru Science Museum, also part of the complex, is an interesting experience as well. It is near the Mahalaxmi Race Course and railway station.
