Waste to Wonder Park, Sarai Kale Khan
Situated in Rajiv Gandhi Smriti Van near Sarai Kale Khan, this is a one-of-its-kind theme park. Built from scrap material and industrial waste, the sculptures replicate the Seven Wonders of the World. With solar and wind energy induced by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, this place lights up brilliantly during sunset. Built within six months, this amazing park is nearest to Nizamuddin Metro Station.
Garden of Five Senses, near Saket
Famous for flower shows, this garden spreads over 20 acres of land and is located in Saidul Ajaib village, opposite Saket. The floral arrangements and sculptures make Garden of Five Senses a unique place to chill out in the scorching summer of Delhi. Beautiful from all angles, the well-shaded area is also cooler than the rest of the city, thanks to all the plants.
Delhi Eye, Kalindi Kunj
India's largest giant wheel, Delhi Eye is in Kalindi Kunj. This giant wheel offers a panoramic view of the city in about 20 minutes. Experience the luxury of sitting in an air-conditioned cabin fitted with LCD screens 45 meters above ground level. Each cabin holds up to eight persons; if anyone feels uncomfortable during the rotation, they can push a help button for support.
Kingdom of Dreams, Gurugram
Although not in Delhi, the Kingdom of Dreams is a favorite among Delhiites. India's first live entertainment and theater destination, it hosts acclaimed musicals and theatricals by Indian and foreign celebrities and groups at an amphitheater and an indoor auditorium. Also, check out the arts, crafts, and food avenue here--the Culture Gully--to experience the food and culture of 14 Indian states.
