Is Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary in Kochi worth visiting with kids?

Local Expert

"Mangalavanam is a lovely little green pocket in the middle of the city, perfect for a short 30-minute nature walk with kids. While it may not have a huge variety of large animals, children can spot bats, migratory birds, and crabs in the mangrove swamp. It has a watchtower that kids enjoy climbing, but make sure to carry mosquito repellent as it is a heavily forested wetland area. 🌳🐦"
