  2. 11:30AM: Jijamata Udyaan
    30 minutes (11.5 km) from Gateway of India

    Formerly known as Rani Bagh, Jijamata Udyaan is a lush green zoo and botanical garden that provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Visit the animal enclosures, bird aviary, and the museum dedicated to natural history. Kids will love the toy train and the playground.

  3. 1:30PM: Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
    30 minutes (10 km) from Jijamata Udyaan

    A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is an impressive railway station that showcases Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Marvel at the grand entrance, the stained glass windows, and the intricate sculptures. Don't miss the Maharashtra Police Museum nearby.

    End your day with a relaxing stroll along Marine Drive, a picturesque promenade that offers stunning views of the Arabian Sea and the sunset. The streetlights resemble a string of pearls, which is why it's also known as the Queen's Necklace. Treat yourself to some street food and ice cream.

Recommendations

You could visit KidZania Mumbai, an indoor theme park that lets children role-play various professions in a fun and educational atmosphere. Alternatively, you could take a ferry to the nearby Elephanta Island and hike up to the Cannon Hill to get panoramic views of Mumbai Harbour. Don't forget to try the vada pav, a local street food delicacy, and shop for souvenirs at Colaba Causeway. To maximize your fun, wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers as the weather can be unpredictable. Book your flights and hotels in advance on Trip.com.
