Hey All,
I have been staying in Bangalore which is one of the hi-tech cities in India for almost a decade now. Without a doubt Bangalore is one of the best Garden Cities of India, with lush green surroundings and a pleasant climate all throughout the year. Recently, I shifted to Ahmedabad which is also one of the famous and renowned city in India and used to be the former capital of Gujarat.
Its been almost two months here in Ahmedabad now and visiting - Science City Aquatic Gallery was an amazing and at the same time knowledgeable experience and my kids really liked the place. In this post, I am going to provide some details tied to Science City Aquatic Gallery specifically as there are many places more to visit in Science City. Some of the attractions in Science City are::
- Nature Park
- Planetarium
- Energy Park
- Earthquake Experience Ride
- 5D Theatre Aquatic Gallery
- Robotics Gallery
- 3D Scanner and Printer
- Air hockey
- AR Show
- Robo Painter
And many more attractions are there in Science city as the place is huge and is spread up covering an area of more than 107 hectares. So you can imagine how big the Science City place would look like and for that reason, we decided to visit one place at a time and first targeted - Aquatic Gallery
As the Science City place is huge, there are many things like Escooter, Bicycles, electric car to commute from one place to the other. And if you have kids travelling with you it is advisable to keep a stroller and a wheelchair for aged people.
We had to do a lot of walking from the entry gate to reach Aquatic Gallery. I guess it would be almost half a kilometer inside from the entry gate. And in between we happen to see some glimpse of the Nature Park from outside. we thought, we would visit the park once we have seen the aquarium. But unfortunately could not visit the park due to short of time, so may next visit this is something to explore.
Here are some of the pictures we took at the Aquatic Gallery::
This is one of the best Aquatic Gallery in India. You name a fish and they have it. Frankly speaking most of the varieties of fishes where there and it did give you a great experience seeing those fish swim by, truly an amazing experience. My kids thoroughly loved it and apart from that it did enhance their general knowledge as well, at least to know who many different varieties of fishes are there in the world.. at one time they got bored of reading about the fishes and its type etc..
A final note on the tickets and eateries. The ticket prices of the various attractions at Science City Ahmedabad are reasonable priced and cost somewhere around Rs.250/- per person for Aquatic Gallery and similar rate for the other attractions. In dollar terms it would be under $3 per attraction. Obviously the entry fees is costing much less somewhere around Rs.50 per person. There is also a food court in there and it hygienic so you need not worry about carrying food. The food severed there is of good quality and there are a lot of options on food and beverages.. so not at all to worry about having food at Science City Definitely a must visit if next time you are visiting Ahmedabad; Gujarat... cheers
Best Regards
