Things to do with kids in Jaipur

  1. SeeHistoric site

    City Palace

    An imposing blend of traditional Rajput and Mughal architecture. It is a vast palace complex occupying nearly one-seventh of the Pink City. It was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II. The complex is divided into a series of courtyards, sprawling gardens and buildings. It is home to several palatial structures like the Chandra Mahal, (home to present Maharajah of Jaipur), Mubarak Mahal (housing a textile museum), Diwan-e-Khas (or Hall of Private audience housing the two largest silver vessels in the world, which are duly mentioned in the Guinness book), the Diwan-e-Aam ( or Hall of Public Audience) and the gateway Ridhi Sidhi Pol (with four small doorways decorated with motifs depicting the four seasons). Be warned that although they sell tickets for taking photos with a camera inside, most exhibits inside have a "no photography" sign.

    ₹400 for Indians, ₹1200 for foreigners, half price(₹200/₹600) for students, children below 12, Indian senior citizens and Indian defense personnel; a composite ticket (₹500/₹300) for Indians (₹1700/₹850) for foreigners gives extra access to Jaigarh Fort and Royal Cenotaphs

  2. See

  3. Do

    Chokhi Dhani

    Around 18 km from Central Jaipur on the Jaipur-Tonk highway, Chokhi Dhani (Fine Hamlet in Rajasthani dialect) is a kind of virtual village and also a 5-star resort. There are lodging facilities available, but the real attraction is the evening fun-fairs. There are two excellent places to enjoy Rajasthani food served in the traditional mode at their resort. Chokhi Dhani a.k.a. Lalten Restaurant is a more popular place because it is on the main road near the airport and also has other attractions, such as horseback riding, camel riding, bullock cart rides, a maze, boating and kathputli (puppet) shows. You can also watch live folk dances and listen to live folk music for free. It gives the visitor a glimpse of culture from different parts of Rajasthan, and could be nice if you will not have time to see much of Rajasthan yourself. It opens at 5PM, and be sure to get there early as many of the sites are difficult to see when it gets dark. It's a 30-min rickshaw ride from Central Jaipur, or you can go there by bus or taxi, but you are best off making sure you have a ride back. Consider buying the pass for AC hall, because the outdoor seating is a self-served buffet, while in the AC Dining you'll be served food. This makes a massive difference when there are too many people at the restaurant, as the restaurant is unable to keep up with the demand for buffet food. If you would prefer to sleep at the resort, have a look at their accommodation. Avoid going there during the rainy season.

    The restaurants are open from 5-11PMTraditional Rajasthani dining: Adult: ₹700; Kids up to 3.5 feet high: ₹350; AC Royal Rajasthani Dining: Adult: ₹900; Kids up to 3.5 feet high: ₹500; Multicuisine buffet: Adult: ₹950; Children up to 1 m tall: ₹650. Rooms: ₹5999-34999/night per double room
