If you are travelling with your young ones, then taking them to Siva Ganga Garden, located very close to the Brihadeeswarar Temple, is essential. The Tanjore municipality converted this area built by the great Chola King into a public park. It has a small zoo for children and houses a unique collection of birds and animals. There are boating facilities and a Toy train for the children to enjoy.A new addition to the garden is a Water Park, which has slides, swimming pools and other fun activities.
