Join the kids along to Zoos and Aquariums in Kerala, to start on summer holidays

School exams are almost over for most of the kids in Kerala and it is time for many to jot down the list of destinations and ‘things to do’ in different places for enjoying their summer holiday with family. Some of the kids may have already started pestering their parents for weekend getaways and extended holidays in different parts. For the parents that are having tough time planning destinations that their kids would enjoy, here are some hotspots that one could think about, to begin summer holiday in Kerala.

Visit to different zoos and aquariums can be a great idea, to keep the kids amused. If beginning your journey from the southern part of Kerala, then plan a trip to the Trivandrum zoo. Both kids and adults are surely going to enjoy the place. From wild animals like lion, elephant, tiger, leopard, zebra, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, black bucks to reptiles and different species of birds are ‘kept’ in a well-maintained and safe enclosures.

Families with kids that had secret desire of jungle safari to experience the wild and untamed animals and birds in their real habitat can be happy at least by visiting the zoo and watching most of the endangered species. The Trivandrum zoo in the heart of the city attracts tourists from different parts of Kerala, all through the season. It is one of the oldest and very well maintained zoos in the state capital of Kerala.

After watching Asiatic elephants in the Trivandrum zoo, if the inquisitive kids want to know more of elephants, then what could be better than taking them straight to Guruvayur, in Thrissur? Elephants are a common sight in Hindu temple festivals in Kerala. However, the Elephant Camp sanctuary in Guruvayur is ‘dedicated’ totally to the Indian/Asiatic Elephants.

Before the family heads on to Guruvayur visiting the Elephant camp sanctuary, they can break their journey in Kovalam, where the Vizhinjam Marine Aquarium would win the hearts of kids, for sure. The marine aquarium has different varieties of fishes and the colorful aquatic creatures would definitely make good shots for the camera.

While having fun in Trivandrum and Kovalam, watching animals, birds and different aquatic species in zoos and aquariums, if the scorching heat has made traveling further a difficult thing, then a visit at Veli Lake and a family houseboat tour on the watercourse would be a soothing experience. BookHouseBoats.Com can arrange for water recreation in Trivandrum, Kovalam and the surrounding regions. They are accessible at info@bookhouseboats.com.

After a joyful ride and a comfortable stay in a budget hotel in Trivandrum, the family can begin their journey for Guruvayur to watch the herd of elephants in the sanctuary. Moreover, if ‘extended holiday’ is on family agenda and kids like to explore more wild species in different habitat, then add Parassinikadavu Snake Park (Kannur) too in the ‘places to visit’ list.

Have a fun filled journey with kids. For more new family destinations and things to do, stay tuned.
