52 events matching right now across Kolkata — mostly food (20), festival (7), spiritual (7), heritage (5). 2 are free.
Kolkata is an easy city to keep children busy in, because its standard family outings are large, cheap and close to public transport. Science City on the EM Bypass is open every day from 10 am to 7 pm with general entry at ₹80, and now has an Orange Line station a short walk away. Nicco Park in Salt Lake has more than 35 rides and a water park; children under 80 cm enter free. Eco Park in New Town has a toy train, boating and enough lawn to run around on. In the centre, the Birla Planetarium runs shows in English, Hindi and Bengali through the afternoon, the Indian Museum charges ₹20 for visitors under 18, the Alipore zoo has been open since 1876, and the Birla Industrial and Technological Museum runs science demonstrations and holiday hobby camps. On top of those, listings bring weekend workshops in art, pottery, robotics and storytelling, children's theatre and puppet shows, mall carnivals and seasonal fairs, with the busiest periods in the Puja holidays, the December break and the summer vacation. This page lists this week's children's and family events across Kolkata, Salt Lake, New Town and Howrah.
