Begin your family-friendly trip to Coimbatore by visiting Marudamalai Temple, a sacred hill abode of Lord Murugan. The temple is perched at an elevation of 1,200 feet, which also offers a sweeping view of the city. Marvel at the intricate carvings, murals, and architecture of Dravidian style. Don't forget to capture the scenic beauty of the surrounding valleys, dense forests, and the Western Ghats.
After seeking blessings, experience the thrill and excitement of Black Thunder Amusement Park. The park boasts over 49 rides and attractions, including water slides, wave pools, and adventure games. Kids will definitely love the place, with a play area, a 7D theater, and a rain disco. The park also houses a food court, a souvenir shop, and a photo booth.
On the second day, visit another famous theme park in Coimbatore, Kovai Kondattam, which means 'happy atmosphere.' The park offers a wide range of recreational activities for all age groups, such as 70+ rides, a water park, a zoo, and a fishing pond. The beautiful and scenic ambiance will make you forget all your stress. Take a dip in the wave pool, dance to the rain disco, or enjoy a thrilling ride on the mechanical bull.
After a fun-filled day, head to Gass Forest Museum, an educational and informative spot for the whole family. Explore the museum's vast collection of flora and fauna specimens, including over 2,500 different tree species, preserved reptiles, and insects. The museum is named after H. Gass, a Swiss-French botanist who spent most of his life studying South Indian trees.
Coimbatore has many other family-friendly places to visit, such as VOC Park and Zoo, Siruvani Waterfalls, and Isha Yoga Center, but alas, due to time constraint, you can only visit a few of them. Ensure that you carry sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for sunny days, and carry a first-aid kit in case of any emergencies. Start early to make the most out of your day and avoid the crowds. If you have more time, you can add Ooty, Palakkad, and Athirappilly to your itinerary.
