- Greenery & Nature trial: Yes, a perfect green space for toddlers, kids, and children. So many botanical trees & plants which kids would love to know about. Why just kids, we parents do enjoy nature, plants, and such a beautiful garden location which has so many trees with shades and greenery in the hustle and bustle city, That too sea facing.
Did I mention ‘Nature Trail’? Yes, A well-planned cute little shaded dark area covered with large trees inside Mahindra park that gives a feel of nature trial (Walking inside the Jungle) for kids. Tiny sun rays that fall on the ground at a few locations inside the dark trial area make it feel like inside the jungle for a while. Children’s mind makes them feel more awesome than we adults do.
Artificial Tortoise, Hippos, and Tiger come in the pathway full of leaves in their natural form making the effort made and the idea of this Nature trail a thumbs up. I am not sure if still exist that hunter who was seating up on a tree and looking at a hippo.
