Top 10 Places to Visit in Karachi with Kids

Sumner vacations are just around the corner and so is Ramzan. With kids, one has to step out of their comfort and must find fun places to visit in Karachi.

For a huge megacity and the third populous city in the world, the attractions are not much. And if you are looking for fun places to visit in Karachi especially with kids, then the choices narrow down further. Usually, the most likable places by kids here are Sindbad, Bounce or just the mall.

However, new ventures open up every day. And sometimes the already existing ones are improvising. So this post is all about the fun places to visit in Karachi, with your little ones.

Places to Visit in Karachi with Kids

1.PAF Museum

Museum memories are some of the best and inspiring memories of childhood. I clearly remember my visits to the museum when I was a kid and I still enjoy going today. PAF museum (Pakistan Air Force Museum ) is definitely a must visit if you have little kids. It’s nice and huge, well maintained, it has all the facilities. It is very green and one has to take a long walk with the kids before entering the museum.There are so many aircraft models on display, and there is so much information one can collect on Pakistans aviation. You can also plan a small picnic from home if you are not fond of buying food from outside. Evenings are best for a visit there, since its always breezy.

The reason I recommend PAF museum as a must place to visit in Karachi is because its a very interactive one. Children can hop and hop off on some of the model aircraft and enjoy pressing buttons and moving the levers.

The Quaid’s Aircraft Vickers Viking is a marvel! PAF museum is a families only and their timings are:-

Monday to Thursday 8:30 am to 10:00 pm Friday 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm Saturday and Sunday 8:30 am to 10:00 pm

Tickets Cost Rs.50

Children under 3, Free

2.Museum 101

A very new museum in town. My kids went there with their school on a field trip and they had an amazing experience. Since there are barely any science museums in Karachi. Museum 101 has done a great effort. Although the place is not huge, its a great initiative. As our children become more aware of space exploration and astronomical sciences, they will surely enjoy such a trip with mom and dad. If you are bored of taking your kids to the same arena again and again, then I highly recommend taking them here. Museum 101 has some excellent displays of space rockets and aircraft they also show short space documentaries, which totally captivates the kids.

Timing is from 8 am to 10 pm

Monday to Thursday Rs.350 per person

Friday to Sunday Rs. 450 per person

Children under 3 and senior citizens are free

3.Jahangir Park

Located in the heart of Saddar this park was recently renovated. On an area of 6 acres, Jahangir Park is amongst the very well maintained and child-friendly parks of Karachi. The park has some dinosaurs models which are a lot of fun for kids. They enjoy climbing on them and they get to experience a little of Jurassic Park. There is also a small library, which I believe is a great idea since we need to indulge kids in the habit of reading.

The timings are from 8 am to 10 pm.

4.Onderland

Located in Lucky One Mall, Onderland is the newest adventure arena in Karachi. I personally like it a lot because its new and exciting, the rides are bigger and thrilling. It has a lot of hands-on based activities like rock climbing, trampoline park, alien abduction ride. The toddlers’ soft play area is really nice and interactive.Its very clean and the staff is very friendly they are never rude. And its very cost effective. When visiting the first time you have to purchase a card worth Rs.1000 and then use this card for the rides. I have used one card in two trips and my kids had their fill of adventure.

Onderland is also Karachi’s first indoor theme park with a roller coaster.

5.Chunky Monkey

Their gaming arena is very nice too and my kids had a really good time.

6.Owls Nest

This is one of a kind cafe in Karachi, catering especially to parents with kids. As a parent of a toddler or older kids, one doesn’t really get comfortable in restaurants and mostly parents hand over tabs or phones to their kids to keep them busy. But in owls nest there are lots of hands-on activities and other games for children, children enjoy their time playing while adults can enjoy their food and talking.

Every Dolmen Mall in Karachi has a Sindbad. Sindbad is very much the oldest arena in Karachi yet children are never bored of it. As long as the rides are working, its clean, well maintained, Sindbad is one of the easiest and cost-effective places to visit in Karachi. Sindbads newest concept of redeeming points in the card is very exciting for kids. They just want to play more and more, to collect tickets and scroll them through the ticket counter. It’s a very thoughtful hook by them which makes it harder to pull out your kids from there 🙂

8.Sea View Beach

Sea View is one of the best places to visit, especially with children, since its a natural attraction and always open. Just a walk with your kids along the beach gives them a chance to ponder over nature and find a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Honestly, I don’t even mind a camel ride once in a while and there are always loads of seashells which kids can collect and adorn.

Make your kids wear comfy clothes and flip-flops and carry a small bucket- and get ready to have lots of fun!

If you want your kids to develop a big appetite before a buffet meal, take them to Bounce. Karachi’s first indoor trampoline park. There is also a birthday party room which is why Bounce is becoming a very popular choice by kids to host their parties. Although I find it a bit costly owing to the fact that its Rs.500 per child during the weekends, and the only fun that kids have is “Jump”. So I would recommend taking your kids to Bounce is better when there are at least 3-4 kids in the group. That way they can have more cooperative play and fun.

Monday – Thursday: 01 PM to 11 PM
Friday: 03PM to 11PM
Saturday – Sunday: 11 AM to 11 PM
Every Monday From 1 pm To 4 pm Exclusive For Ladies.
Monday To Thursday jump pass Rs.400/- (Including Grip Socks)
Friday To Sunday jump pass Rs.500/- (Including Grip Socks)

10.Port Grand

Port Grand is not only about activities for kids but its main attraction is the food. There are many food ventures promising a unique taste and ambiance. But the USP of Port Grand is its overall location and design. Next, to the port, one can witness the big cargo ships, lightning the sea, cool breeze always rustling through your face and a long walk with your little ones while enjoying an ice cream. So its the overall environment of Port Grand which makes it special.

These unique and intricately designed sandstone tombs, dating back to the 15th to 18th centuries, offer a mesmerizing glimpse into the Sindh region’s rich history and culture. The distinctive geometric patterns and intricate carvings on the tombs are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the local artisans.

Empress Market, nestled in the heart of Karachi, is a vibrant and historic gem that beckons both locals and tourists alike. This bustling market, built during the British Raj, exudes an old-world charm that perfectly encapsulates the city’s rich cultural tapestry. With its ornate Mughal and Gothic architecture, it stands as a testament to Karachi’s diverse history. Notably, this market holds historical significance as it’s built on the grounds where native sepoys faced execution after the failed 1857 uprising against British rule, adding a poignant layer to its charm.

Visitors can explore a kaleidoscope of stalls and shops, offering everything from spices, textiles, and jewelry to fresh produce and exotic pets. After a shopping spree, unwind at Jahangir Park nearby, ideal for family outings.

Although there is no shortage of family parks in Karachi, Bagh Ibne Qasim in Clifton certainly tops the list as one of the most family-friendly places in the city. Covering an area of approximately 130 acres, it is also the largest park in Karachi. It houses murals of dinosaurs, a rose garden, and a turtle pond among other attractions.

The lush green beachfront public park is a great spot for family outings in Karachi. It provides children with an open space to play and run around while the adults can relax under the elegant stone canopies built across the park. Visitors can also bring along homemade food or snacks to munch on, so there’s no need to spend money on expensive food items either.

Turtle Beach is a popular family picnic spot in Karachi

Nothing can be more refreshing than a view of the clear blue ocean. Of all the incredible beaches in Karachi , the serene Turtle Beach definitely stands out as the prime picnic spot in the city.

This beautiful sandy beach has no rocks or reefs and serves as a nesting ground for Olive Ridley Turtles and Green Sea Turtles. However, you can’t see turtles anywhere near the beach during the daytime.

Turtle Beach in Karachi offers a large number of fun activities to beachgoers. This includes speed boating, jet skiing, fishing, horse and camel riding and much more. There are also quite a few lavish huts available for rent at the beach if you are planning to stay the night or want to make your trip as comfortable as possible. There are also lifeguards present on the beach to prevent any unfortunate incidents. However, it is recommended that you refrain from swimming in the ocean, especially during high tide.

There’s also a WWF Wetland Center in the vicinity to ensure the safety of the nesting ground. It also aims to raise awareness about the conservation of sea turtles.

Location : Located between Hawke’s Bay and Sandspit. It is easily accessible via Lyari Expressway.

Located in Bahria Town, Day and Night Zoo, also known as Danzoo, is yet another great place for a family outing in Karachi. Inaugurated in May 2018, it is the first zoo of international standards in Pakistan. Danzoo houses a large number of exotic animals and offers a range of recreational activities for children and adults alike. It also offers separate day and night safari adventures.

Spread over an area of about 70 acres, Day and Night Zoo offers visitors an option to explore the park on a golf-cart free of cost, since covering the place on foot can be rather tiring. It also offers boating facilities with proper safety gear for rather affordable charges, making it one of the best zoos in Karachi .

Some of the animals present at Danzoo include lions, white lions, Asiatic black bears, Bengal tigers, panthers, leopards, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebras and deer among others. There are also several domestic and imported birds present in the zoo, such as peacocks, parrots, ostriches, white swans, black swans, doves and macaws to name a few. The zoo also holds a live animal show every weekend at 8:00 PM, which is rather popular among kids.

Location: Precinct 19, Bahria Town, Karachi.

Timings: 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM

Entry Fee: PKR 700 for adults and PKR 400 for children between 4 to 12 years of age.

The newly inaugurated Manora Beachfront is a sight for sore eyes. The clean sandy shores and cool blue waters create a stunning view against the backdrop of the setting sun. This mesmerizing beach is located a short drive from the popular Sands Pit Beach. Regardless of where you live in Karachi, you can easily travel through Lyari Expressway to reach Maripur Road and then drive onwards to Kaka Pir before finally entering the Manora Cantonment Area.

Alternatively, you can reach the Manora Beachfront by taking a boat from Kemari Port. If you plan to travel by road, please make sure to keep your original CNIC with you, as you will be required to submit them at the entrance of PNS Himalaya.

The park itself is quite expansive and allows visitors to experience a complete beach experience with a few upgraded amenities. While the waves crashing against the shoreline certainly take the spotlight, the park also features a large play area for kids comprising a multitude of swings, slides, a bouncing castle and other rides. Moreover, the food street provides beachgoers with a vast range of options to choose from. Whether you want a light snack or a full-course meal, you will easily be able to find something of your liking at Manora Beach Park.

It is also worth mentioning that the park comprises several oceanfront gazebos that are available for rent for PKR 500 per three hours. If you plan on staying there for longer, you can pay additional charges and continue to enjoy the enchanting views of the sea from your private sanctuary. The Manora Beachfront also provides bathroom and shower facilities for visitors, making it an ideal place for a family outing.

Location: Manora Cantonment Area

Entry Fee: PKR 50 for adults | PKR 20 for children

Those who live in Federal B Area, Azizabad, North Nazimabad, or Gulshan-e-Iqbal can easily visit the revamped Taleemi Bagh with their families. The lush green park, which has always been a popular attraction in the area, now houses an amusement park as well as a dinosaur-themed Jurassic Park, House of Nun haunted house, and a mini zoo. A boating area is also expected to open soon.

The mini zoo at Taleemi Bagh features a wide variety of animals and reptiles, including deer, ostriches, rabbits, snakes, and crocodiles, to name a few. The play area is also rather exciting, providing children with an opportunity to enjoy their favourite rides. We would also like to mention that the ticket prices at Taleemi Bagh are really nominal, which means everyone can visit this recreational space with their loved ones without worrying about going over budget.

Located at a short distance from Ayesha Manzil and Allama Iqbal Open University in Gulberg Town, this beautiful park also hosts frequent magic shows, puppet shows, music festivals, and much more. So, if you live nearby and don’t have anything planned for the weekend, you may want to visit Taleemi Bagh for a day full of fun, laughter, and adventure.

Location: Block 14, Federal B Area, Gulberg Town, Karachi

Entry Fee: PKR 50 (You may have to pay additional charges to access other attractions within the park).

Honourable Mentions

If you have an interest in history or would like to explore some historical monuments in the city, the majestic Mohatta Palace is also one of the best places to visit in Karachi with family. The palatial house in Clifton, which once served as a summer residence for a wealthy Hindu businessman, now serves as a centre for cultural activities in the city. If you love amusement parks, you can also visit Bahria Adventure Land for a memorable day with family and friends.

If Danzoo seems too far, you can also plan a trip to Karachi Zoo, which is located on Nishtar Road in Garden East. The zoo dates back to 1878 and houses more than 800 animals. The entry fee for Karachi is only PKR 30, making it a budget-friendly option for a family outing .
