Places to visit in Bangalore with family for one day: a Palace Grounds plan
A sample day
- Morning: start at Bangalore Palace for the heritage side of the city. Check their current fees and timings.
- Late morning to afternoon: Fun World, with 90+ rides and Water World on one ticket. Water World runs 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, so do the water rides first. Outside food is allowed, which keeps lunch simple.
- Evening: Aquarium Paradise. Walk through India's longest underwater tunnel and the jellyfish room, and catch the diver feeding the fish at 6:30 PM. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays a free mermaid show runs at 7:40 PM, subject to availability.
Note: Mermaid show timings keep changing. Always call +91 96063 11881 or check with the staff at the ticket counter before you come for the mermaid show.
