Begin your trip to Gandhinagar with a visit to the Indroda Nature Park, an expansive park featuring diverse flora and fauna, as well as a dinosaur and fossil park. Explore the park on foot, or even rent a bicycle for an added adventure. Families with children can enjoy the botanical gardens and the musical fountain show in the evenings. The dinosaur park is a great attraction that displays a diverse variety of life-size models.
Next, head to the Sarita Udyan Amusement Park, a delightful attraction for the whole family. The park features a variety of rides and attractions, including a roller coaster, a Ferris wheel, and a water park with pools and slides. Parents can relax in the greenery while children enjoy the amusements. The park also has indoor gaming facilities, multi-cuisine restaurants, and souvenir shops.
On day two, start your day at Akshardham Temple, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Gandhinagar. This beautifully-crafted place of worship, built entirely from pink sandstone and featuring intricate carvings, showcases Indian architectural traditions. The temple complex houses exhibitions that showcase Hindu culture, as well as an IMAX theatre and a musical fountain that can be seen in the evenings. Visitors must respect dress codes and remove their shoes before entering.
The last stop is the Children’s Science Museum, an interactive and educational attraction featuring a range of exhibits designed to spark children’s curiosity. The museum includes exhibits on astronomy, robotics, and marine biology, among others. The 3D theatre and the planetarium are the biggest attractions - visitors can experience a space journey. Do not miss the 'Hall of 3000 mirrors' which creates an illusion of infinity expected to leave you astounded.
For families with more time, additional attractions in Gandhinagar include the Adalaj stepwell, the Hanumanji Temple, and the Gujarat Science City. If you have less time, consider skipping Sarita Udyan Amusement park, or Akshardham Temple and spend more time in other attractions. We suggest starting your day early to avoid crowds and make the most of your time in Gandhinagar.
