Yazoo Park (Virar)
Located in the outskirts of Mumbai, Yazoo Park is a lovely amusement park spread over and area of 12 acres, catering to all and every age, starting right from the tiny tots to veteran gamers. This bonafide wonderland is a perfect destination for those who want to get out of the crowd of the city and spend a day somewhere quieter and closer to nature, but also do not want to miss out on the plethora of rides and recreations that any premier amusement park would offer.
Yazoo Park has the best of both worlds. From evergreen favourites like Ferris wheel and Merry-go-Round to adventurous additions like Zipline and Freefall, from fun kiddie rides like Dragon Train to the Rifle range and gaming zone for the pros - Yazoo Park has something or the other for everyone. The latest addition, Water Zone is an aquatic extravaganza meant for the entire family to have fun together.
It is the place where everyone can find a place for themselves...whether it is young couples looking to escape from the prying eyes of others...whether it is a father and mother with small kids looking to gove their kid a sense of what open space is (given the matchboxes most of us love in)...whether it is large families and group of friends wanting to chat and have fun together...
Marine drive gives you all of that and much more...
Just sit there relaxing in the sea breeze, watching the huge expanse of the arabian sea. One could easily lose track of time here...
Many more visits to marine drive beckons!!!!
The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, is a heritage, five-star, luxury hotel built in the Saracenic Revival style in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, situated next to the Gateway of India. Historically it was known as the "Taj Mahal Hotel" or simply "the Taj". The hotel is considered one of the finest hotels in the East since the time of the British Raj.
Part of the Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, this hotel with its 560 rooms and 44 suites is considered the flagship property of the group; it employs some 1,600 staff. The hotel is made up of two different buildings: the Taj Mahal Palace and the Tower, which are historically and architecturally distinct from each other (the Taj Mahal Palace was built at the start of the twentieth century; the Tower was opened in 1973). The hotel has a long and distinguished history, having received many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and stars of show business. Ratanbai Petit, the second wife of the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, lived in the hotel during her last days in 1929; her mother, Sylla Tata, had born into the Tata family, builders and owners of the hotel.
FilmCity Goregaon
Touring Bollywood
One of the best ways to explore the streets of Film City is through guided tours, which are readily available for all and this opportunity is a unique one that allows the tourists to witness the ropes of movie-making in action.
It’s like a rendezvous with Bollywood in the most intimate manner, of course without actually meeting the faces of the productions. Being on the tour you will get a glimpse of the hard work that goes into making movies and how the story of Indian Cinema unfolded. The Bollywood Dream Tour is a two-hour excursion of the Film City studio that mainly covers the history of Bollywood and post-production activities, giving an interesting insight into what goes into making a movie. Ticket prices for the same start at Rs599 (Dh30) per person.
The tour is pretty strict about starting on time, with a 10 minute buffer given. The sets are beautiful and meticulously built. The biggest drawback of the tour is, except for two locations, you’re not allowed off the bus, even to take photographs on the sets. Secondly, if you are expecting to spot some Bollywood bigwigs, don’t hold your breath since the chances of that happening are very slim. And even if you do spot someone, you’re not allowed to click pictures since it will disrupt the shoot.
