Day 2: Nalumanikattu Children's Park and Kayakking Club: A Hidden Gem in Kerala

We were looking for a fun and exciting way to spend our Sunday, and just about 15 kilometers away from Our resort, we came across Nalumanikattu Children's Park and Kayakking Club. The Nalumanikattu park is set amidst coconut groves, with a beautiful lake that stretches across the length of the park. They also have a Kayakking Club nearby that offers a kayaking for both beginners and experienced kayakers. As we had limited time and young children with us, we were unable to choose kayaking. Considering the preferences of all individuals in our family, we decided to opt for boating. 

There's a children's play area as well as a mini zoo with a variety of animals. Our kids had a leisurely stroll around the park and had a good fun. 

If you are family looking for a fun day out, or an individual seeking an adventure then boating or kayaking at the Nalumanikattu Children's Park is an experience you won't forget.

Exploring the Wonders of Marine World Public Aquarium: A Journey Underwater.

In the afternoon, that too on the scorching hot day, we visited the Marine World Public Aquarium, located near Panchavadi Beach. However, to our relief, the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed by air conditioning.

If you have a fondness for marine life, this place is perfect for you. It is truly exceptional. The admission fee is Rs. 350 for senior citizens, Rs. 400 for adults, and Rs. 350 for children over the age of three.

I was thrilled to witness the vast variety of remarkable creatures at the aquarium. Along with the admission ticket, there was also a complimentary fish spa that provided a soothing effect on my feet and skin.

Visiting the entire aquarium may take approximately 1.5 to 3 hours, so it's advisable to plan your lunch accordingly. Although there were attractions like a kids' play area and 12D theaters outside, we could not indulge in them due to time constraints.

Finally, if you're looking for a fun and affordable way to spend a weekend in Kerala, then the plan  outlined here is a good one. Beach resort with the above activities is a hidden gem that's just waiting to be discovered. So pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and get ready for an adventure you won't forget!
