Water World, Bangalore

Visited: May 30, 2017
Cost: Rs.575/- per person

THE GOOD

• Within city limits, so easy commute - took about 45 mins to reach
• Small place, so no need to wander around too much
• Enough things to do for Children & Adults
• Free locker in the Change room 
• They don't check for 'outside' food. So, you could carry your lunch if required.

THE NOT SO GOOD

• Quality of water is not so great
• Food options are limited to Bread toast, Veg fried Rice, Noodles etc. Soft drinks are available though.

THE VERDICT

• If you are looking for a short commute and are ok with decent-enough water rides, then this place is definitely worth visiting.

Mostly used the MTR. Simple and easy with Octopus card (that we purchased at the airport). We used the Bus to commute from Airport to the Hotel and back. It was the cheapest!
