Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 3–17 to see the Sayaji Garden zoo, planetarium, and dinosaur gallery at Baroda Museum. Skip or plan carefully if visiting May–June, as the summer heat is intense at this low elevation. Arrive early at attractions and carry plenty of water; note that stroller access is limited, so older kids work better.
