Looking for the perfect city to raise your children? From top-notch schools to child-friendly parks there is a lot to consider when moving with children.
What if I were to say that Indore has everything you expect from a big metro city but without that inevitable hassle? It is one of India's fastest developing cities where you can lead a slow pace life too! That is Indore for you, a perfect blend of modernity with traditionality.
Here's a curated list of the places you can plan to visit with your kids to make your weekends even more fun.
Historical places:
You can’t erase history but you can always decide what it does to you. Plan a rendezvous to these interactive places and let your kid explore Indore's glorious past. Lal Bagh Palace, Rajwada, Ralamandal Wildlife Sanctuary, Kanch Mandir, Mahatma Gandhi Townhall, Mandu and Maheswar are some of the magnificent places that shouldn’t be missed. Their flamboyance is hard to miss.
Weekend Getaways:
If you are looking for a break from bustling streets these are for you. Walk through the trails admiring the stretches of green around and listen to the various sounds of woodland creatures. Patalpani Waterfalls, Tincha Falls, Janapav, Bamniya Kund, Sheetla Matha waterfalls and Choral Dam are places where you can witness verdant green fields merging with the sky. Green is not just a colour for people in Indore – we are surrounded by it.
Parks and Fun:
Parenthood can get bedraggling and exhausting. So, gear up for some exciting times with fellow nature lovers and go hunting for that adrenaline rush. Safari Activity park, Fundore, Somanipuram Adventure Park, Crescent Water Park, Indore Zoo, Pipliyahana Regional Park and Nakhrani Dhani are few places which allow you take a break from your hectic lives while also entertaining your children.
Shopping
Indore has a lot of offer when it comes to shopping. From affordable sarees to branded apparels these places will amaze you with the myriad of choices. C21 Mall, Malhar Mega Mall, Apollo Square, TI Mall and Rajwada are some of the places where you can find an incredible collection for both your lil' fashionistas and you.
Food
Hunger has no name in Indore. The street food is extremely popular and its aroma wafts across the entire city. Indore has lots of child-friendly restaurants along with Chappan and the night bazaar, Sarafa, whose delicacies will tickle your taste buds.
Education:
I never leave a chance to brag that Indore is the only city in India to have both an IIT and IIM. No doubt, Indore has good schools for your children, as well as coaching institutes for different competitive exams and colleges.
That’s Indore for you. A perfect amalgamation of history and modernism. People here are extremely exuberant and helpful, be it in the aisles of Rajwada or on the high streets of Vijay Nagar.
