Your favourite hang-out spots with kids in or near your city (day trip)

Our favourite is a trip down East Coast Road. We love going to the following places on East Coast Road.

1. Mahabalipuram - sculptures, rock temples and more. You can work up a sweat climbing up some of the hills.

2. Madras Crocodile Bank - hundreds of crocodiles to see. You can pay for a crocodile feeding to see the feeding frenzy (but it can be over before you know it). Children can hold a baby crocodile and a baby python in their hands.

3. DakshinaChitra - Arts and crafts that children can do themselves, a puppet show, parrot astrology, bioscopes and much more.

4. Boating at Muttukadu - get a boat and cruise the lagoon

These are evergreen attraactions that our kids never get bored of.

And finish the day up with a nice snack or din at one of the resorts or restaurants along the road.
