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.
