Planning a Family Day Out

Start early to avoid traffic and heat. Most parks open by 6 AM and close at sunset; museums and indoor venues run roughly 10 AM to 5 PM. Carry reusable bottles and light snacks, as outside food is restricted in some spots. Metro and taxis connect most attractions, and parking is available at Lalbagh, Bannerghatta, and Wonderla.

For a simple indoor plan on rainy days, Aquarium Paradise offers online ticket discounts and weekday family deals.
