How to get there
The Natural History Museum
Steps: Mumbai
If you visit the Prince of Wales Museum, take a tour of the adjoining Natural History, which is very popular with children. The visit starts with a tour among stuffed birds, mainly from India, of all sizes and colours. You then arrive in the mammal room, then the fish room. Finally, the insect and reptile room, with notably very impressive cobras.

The Nehru Science Center
Steps: Mumbai
If your children are more interested in science than in naturalized animals, the Nehru Science Centre is a good alternative. There is a whole range of activities specially dedicated to them, with experiments and manipulations of all kinds. The premises are divided into several departments such as the Prehistoric Animal Life, the Aerospace, the Light & Sight or the Sound & Hearing
Places of interest : NEHRU PLANETARIUM
The Island of Elephanta
In addition to the caves, this island has the particularity of welcoming not elephants, but an important colony of pilferer monkeys, macaques, of which the jokes are funny. Not really aggressive, because they are used to being with tourists and Indians who come to picnic with family, but we'll take some precautions, especially if they're interested in the snack of our children.
Chowpatty Beach
At night when it is cooler, change of the atmosphere. The big wheel starts, the monkey trainers show their shows, the kids climb on ponies for a walk on the beach and for a few rupees, contortionists take impossible postures. The bhelpuri stalls will make the gourmands happy.
Amusement parks
Higher in the north of the city, two amusement parks compete fiercely. The Essel World and its numerous rides with a very impressive roller coaster, a huge skating rink and a spectacular 180° cinema. Nearby, freshwater enthusiasts will go to the Water Kingdom, Asia's largest aquatic amusement park. In the middle, one of the largest swimming pools in the world, three artificial rivers that you will go down by rafting, geysers, fountains and green spaces to relax or picnic. In Khopoli, accessible by the urban train, a giant theme park clearly differs from the two previous ones: Adlabs IMAGICA. It is simply the most modern and the most beautiful in the country.
