Pair it with the classics
Tourists usually combine a new attraction with the city's well-known sights. Bangalore Palace is in the same Palace Grounds area. Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha and the Visvesvaraya museum are in the centre of the city, and Lalbagh is a short drive south. Check fees and timings for each before you plan the day.
Fun World, open since 1995, shares the complex and suits families who want rides and a water park the same day.
