Sarthana Nature Park, the 81-acre municipal zoo on the Kamrej road, costs ₹20 for children aged 3 to 12 and is also shut on Mondays. The Surat Fort has restored bastions, a moat and a drawbridge that children enjoy, Gopi Talav has boating and a fountain plaza, and Dumas Beach is the default Sunday evening. The Jagdishchandra Bose Aquarium in Adajan was listed as temporarily closed for maintenance in October 2026, so check before promising it.

Good to know
- The Science Centre, the fort and the zoo all close on Mondays, so plan family days out for Tuesday to Sunday.
- The Science Centre stops selling tickets at 3 pm and the fort stops entry at 4:10 pm. Start early.
- Check age limits before booking: big garba grounds usually do not admit children under five, and most comedy shows are for adults.
- Surat is hot for much of the year. Do the zoo and the beach in the morning or late afternoon and keep the Science Centre for midday.
- Confirm that the aquarium has reopened before you go; it was listed as closed for maintenance in October 2026.
