Cubbon Park

Bangalore is a city which is know for its parks. However, people tend to go back to MG road, Brigade, Commercial Street etc for hanging out. Bored of the same old places, my friends and I decided to go visit someplace different from the shopping areas. After a lot of browsing on net for the places to go to I finally suggested that we should go the Cubbon Park and the idea got immediate approval. Cubbon Park is a nice plain stretch with lots of trees and some rocks which gives it a look of a forest. It is a good place to go for picnic with friends or for an early morning walk. My friends and I walked around the park, climbed the rocks and enjoyed the nice greenery around us. Relatively clean and with lots of places to sit and talk, Cubbon Park has something to offer for everyone.

What made the day better was the aquarium near Cubbon Park which is the second largest aquarium in India. With fishes in all kinds of shapes and sizes and colour, the aquarium was a delight for all three of us and soon all of us had decided on our favourite fishes.

Next we went to Bal Bhavan which is inside the Cubbon Park where we enjoyed the cheap but fun rides, pop corns, chatting and screaming with people of all ages. And yes we did not forget to buy balloons.

In total the visit to Cubbon Park is one of the most exciting and fun trips in Bangalore. It is a nice place to relax, have fun and let your hair loose. You can have the simple, uncomplicated fun without spending much money.

The Cubbon Park was worth a second visit and this time I went with my two cousins (one four year old and the other around twelve).

PS: Dont forget your camera.
