The Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum offers great glimpse into the country's rich history and the grandeur of its presidential residence. It has personal things of all the presidents India had till date, along with lots of exhibits from colonial era as well. This is a four floor building with lots of paintings, information, utensils of that time, pictures & artifacts.

In general, after walking for at least 2-2.5 km through Amrit Udyan you enter here, which means you're already tired. You can relax outside the museum but sitting inside museum is strictly not allowed despite there are so many chairs n benches there.. and staff keeps a close watch on it.

Buying 50rs ticket is strongly recommended in advance since there's no offline booking counter, and website to buy tickets has its own issues most of the time. You can easily see people trying to book it online for 20-30 min.

Citygarden Sculpture Park is different from other parks around the area - it's more artsy! It has unique sculptures and a very cool waterfall. There is also a coffee shop where you can hang out at. In summers, kids can enjoy here al day in water splash or pool, while in winters, you can see lots of beautiful festive lights.
Just a caution: In late evening hours, beware of some shady natured people who might be roaming around.

Its such a well maintained lake-side garden with huge variety of plants from various types. Clean walking trail with red soil attracts morning walkers and joggers too. It has lots of peacocks & other birds. You can surely enjoy your evening here with friends and family. There's a huge playground as well for younger kids.
Entry price is 50rs, car parking 70rs and boating is also at nominal prices only.

Annai Velankanni stage set up is huge, with apple sitting space and chairs. They decorated mother mery & Jesus nicely on the stage, plus orchestra setup to sing praises for Jesus. Only thing is - when I visited last, the loudspeakers sound is soooo loud, you can hardly figure out the music or words. Not sure why..

It's such a gracious place - full of devotees all the time to offer prayers to Sai baba. Don't get overwhelmed if you see a few people even crying out of their love for baba, or touching or kissing the holy feet of baba. They have a separate room in case someone wants to just sit and chant sai bhajan etc.

They offer free food (tasty veg khichdi, curd rice, pongal etc) to everyone at its top floor. Overall a graceful place. Some part of the temple is still under renovation.
