Mumbai Activities

Located 50kms outside the heart of Mumbai on the Ahmedabad highway, the Royal Garden Resort is as much a hotel as it is a water/amusement park for children. If you've staked out a hotel in the middle of the city and have brought children along, then this place will help you and your family cool down and get the kids in a better mood. There are numerous swimming pools and slides on offer here as well as a mini amusement park.
