Kids & Family Events in Kochi

7 events matching right now across Kochi β€” mostly dance (2), art (1), festival (1), workshop (1). 1 is free.

Family events in Kochi are listed below and refreshed daily: children's workshops, shows, carnivals, holiday camps and outings. The city has a dependable set of all-year options to plan around them. Wonderla at Pallikkara, beyond Kakkanad, is the big day out, with more than 60 dry and water rides on a 30-acre site. LuLu Mall at Edappally has the Funtura play zone, an ice-skating rink and a bowling alley under one roof and sits on the metro line. The Kerala Museum at Pathadipalam has a Dolls Museum, a light and sound show on Kerala's history and art workshops for children, and Hill Palace in Tripunithura adds a deer park to its museum; both close on Mondays. In the city centre, Subhash Bose Park has a play area by the water, and a Water Metro ride from High Court to Fort Kochi or Vypin is an outing in itself at β‚Ή20 to β‚Ή40 a ticket. Craft cafΓ©s in Panampilly Nagar run short sessions that suit older children. School holidays for Onam, Christmas and the April–May summer break bring camps and carnivals, and they fill early.

Good to know

  • Check the age band and whether a parent has to stay; both are stated on each listing.
  • Do Wonderla on a weekday outside school holidays if you can, and book tickets online for the lower rate.
  • LuLu Mall, Changampuzha Park and the Kerala Museum are all next to metro stations, which is easier than parking with children.
  • Carry a change of clothes for beach, boat and water-park days, and a rain cover between June and November.
  • Holiday camps for Onam, Christmas and summer are announced a few weeks ahead and have limited seats.
