Rainy day ideas for kids

Funky Island - Pacific Mall Jasola

Funky Island at Pacific Outlet Mall Jasola is a third-floor indoor gaming stop with branch-confirmed bumper cars, racing games, air hockey, toy catchers and rides. It fits a family already visiting the Jasola mall or looking for a bounded indoor activity near the Jasola Apollo corridor. The best plan is to select a few games before buying a package; the mall’s other entertainment businesses and a cinema ticket are separate decisions.

Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum

Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum currently requires a Phase I-focused plan: its official booking page says Phase II has been closed since 6 October 2025 until further notice. The open Stables and Coach House collection introduces presidential gifts, art and ceremonial life through historic objects.

Jama Masjid (Old Delhi)

Jama Masjid combines a monumental red-sandstone approach, a broad courtyard and a working place of Muslim worship. A family visit can focus on symmetry, the contrast between stone colours and the way a prayer space is organised. Enter as respectful visitors, leave room for worshippers and treat nearby food lanes as a separate outing.

SkyJumper Amusement Park - Janakpuri

SkyJumper Janakpuri offers a broader indoor mix than a trampoline-only visit: the operator advertises laser tag, arcade games, several VR formats, soft play and a Dig & Play sand area at Unity One Mall. That variety can work for mixed interests, provided the family chooses activities and payment units carefully. Activity prices are described in SkyCoins while combo prices use rupees, so the useful budget is the actual recharge or package needed for the chosen session.

Fun Orbbit — Gujranwala Town / Model Town

Fun Orbbit combines toddler play, a trampoline, a rocket merry-go-round and an arcade in Gujranwala Town near Model Town. The workbook’s Civil Lines label is misleading: use the operator’s Gujranwala Town address. A soft-play session and a counted arcade package are different purchases, so this works best when parents decide whether the visit is for movement, games or both.

Humayun's Tomb World Heritage Site Museum

Humayun’s Tomb World Heritage Site Museum explains the buildings, craftsmanship and cultural history of the Nizamuddin area beneath the shared heritage arrival landscape. It is a separate indoor experience, useful before the tomb for context or as a shorter alternative to extensive outdoor walking.

Swaminarayan Akshardham - New Delhi

Akshardham can be a free temple-and-garden visit, a substantial exhibition outing or an evening water-show trip. Those are different family plans. Children can study elephant carvings, follow a young traveller’s journey on a giant screen, pass through cultural scenes on a boat and watch a story unfold through water and light. Choose the parts that suit their stamina and comfort with sound, darkness and queues.

Kiran Nadar Museum of Art - Saket

Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in Saket offers free indoor modern and contemporary art exhibitions, with family workshops on a separate dated calendar. Current October 2026 displays include In-Rhythm and Inheritors of Earth, making line, pattern and plants useful starting points for children.

National Gandhi Museum

The National Gandhi Museum opposite Raj Ghat makes Gandhi’s life tangible through spinning wheels, photographs, personal objects and the history of the freedom movement. A family can follow the story of cloth, a walking stick or a changing life in photographs rather than read every panel. The Martyrdom Gallery contains sensitive assassination-related material, so parents should choose that part deliberately.

National Museum, New Delhi

The National Museum on Janpath is best approached as a selective encounter with objects rather than a complete survey of Indian history. Start with the Harappan gallery and one contrasting display, while checking the museum’s continuing notices about galleries under renovation.

Tingaland - Punjabi Bagh Club

Tingaland Punjabi Bagh is the indoor play offering at Punjabi Bagh Club, with distinct toddler and activity zones rather than the outdoor Xtreme adventure course. The branch advertises ball play, sensory and role-play features for younger children, plus slides, nets and climbing routes for older ones. Its current homepage and product pages disagree on some age bands and closing times, so confirm the child’s eligibility and selected session before travelling.

Lotus Temple

The Lotus Temple is the Bahá’í House of Worship, welcoming people of every faith to a distinctive marble-petalled building and a quiet prayer hall. For families, the visit combines looking at architecture with practising a short period of respectful silence. The operator currently publishes Tuesday–Sunday 8:30am–5pm, which takes precedence over longer hours on tourism and map listings.

Museum of Illusions - Connaught Place

The Museum of Illusions in Connaught Place turns perspective, mirrors and visual cues into an hour of family experiments and playful photographs. Children can appear larger than parents, see repeated versions of themselves and discover that a convincing image is not always an accurate account of space. It is a timed, first-floor attraction with no lift or ramp, not an all-day science centre.

Timezone Pacific Mall Tagore Garden (Najafgarh Road)

This is the Timezone at Pacific Mall Tagore Garden on Najafgarh Road, not a verified outlet in the Najafgarh neighbourhood. Bowling, arcade games and VR make it a West Delhi indoor option, with the mall’s food court available for a separate meal. Plan a small selection of games and check the bowling queue before loading the card.

Timezone Arcade - Unity One Elegante Pitampura

At Unity One Elegante in Netaji Subhash Place, children can race in Asphalt 9 DX, try Jurassic Park Arcade Theatre, compete at air hockey or make bowling the centre of a family visit. This fourth-floor branch is distinct from nearby Pacific NSP entertainment and from Unity One Janakpuri. Its variety suits a planned game session with older children better than an open-ended toddler outing.

Laxminarayan Temple (Birla Mandir)

Delhi’s Laxminarayan Temple, commonly called Birla Mandir, is a working Hindu temple on Mandir Marg dedicated to Lakshmi and Narayana. A family visit can combine respectful darshan with looking at the building’s craftsmanship and discussing its history of inclusive entry. It is free to enter, but has a published midday break and restrictions on phones and cameras inside.

Timezone Arcade - Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj

ColourGrid, bowling and arcade races make this Ambience Mall branch a useful indoor choice for children who want to play alongside parents. Its ground-floor location belongs to Vasant Kunj, not the similarly named Ambience Mall in Gurugram. Choose two or three experiences rather than trying to exhaust a large game floor.

Funky Island - Pacific Mall NSP

Funky Island at Pacific Mall NSP is a convenient arcade-and-ride stop for families already using the Netaji Subhash Place mall precinct. The mall’s own branch page names air hockey, bumper cars, toy catchers and several score-based games, giving a more specific picture than chain-wide advertising. Choose a few eligible games and a spending limit before buying a package. Other entertainment in the mall, including bowling and cinema, is separately operated.
