“But Moooom….I’m TIRED of sitting at home all day! Why can’t we do something fun??!”
Yes, we know the drill.
The hot summer days refuse to go away.
You’ve run out of ideas for planning your kids’ day, and are desperately Googling fun things to do with children during summer in Ahmedabad.
It’s OK – We got you.
We’ve listed the most exciting summer activities for kids in Ahmedabad…
Many of which parents don’t think of until they’re three weeks into vacation and the kids have memorised every YouTube channel.
This post covers:
- Summer camps and classes in Ahmedabad
- Indoor activities for kids that beat the heat
- The one activity that works for every age group, every time
- Practical tips for structuring the whole summer (without losing your mind)
Why Summer in Ahmedabad is Actually a Planning Problem
Ahmedabad has a special “summer problem”.
Between mid-April and late June, stepping outside before 7am or after 7pm is roughly the only safe window.
Everything in between is best done indoors.
Schools in Ahmedabad typically close for six to eight weeks during summer vacation.
That’s a long stretch for any parent managing work and children at the same time.
The activities below are all either fully indoors, air-conditioned, or structured enough that they give kids something to look forward to.
We’ve organised them from “multi-week commitment” down to “one afternoon, done.”
Summer Camps and Classes in Ahmedabad
If you want your kids to actually build a skill over the summer, structured camps and classes are the way to go. Ahmedabad has a reasonable spread:
- Art and craft workshops: Available at several studios across the city, good for kids aged 5 and up
- Coding and robotics camps: Popular with the 10–16 age group, usually run in 2–3 week batches
- Music, dance, and drama: Most performing arts academies offer summer-specific programmes
- Sports academies: Badminton, swimming, and cricket are the most common; early morning slots fill up fast
One thing to keep in mind: most camps run from 9am to 12pm. That covers your morning. The afternoon is still yours to fill. Which brings us to the next option.
Escape Rooms: The Kids’ Summer Activity Most Ahmedabad Parents Don’t Know
For years, Ahmedabad parents have booked our Ahmedabad escape rooms for their kids.
And they’ve said “our kids had the time of their lives”, and “kids had a blast…we’ll be back!”
Forget phones or repeated “I’m bored”.
Instead, watch your kids forget everything else as they set about to solve our mystery games.
We’ve got 4 games.
Each fits 2–8 players, running 60 minutes (75 minutes if you pick our sci-fi adventure, Upside Down).
And best of all – the games are so exciting, you’ll want to join your kids inside, making it a good family activity for summer in Ahmedabad.
Special pricing for kids
Pricing starts at ₹700 per person
BUT
It’s ₹500 flat for kids aged 5–9 with ID.

Other Indoor Things to Do in Ahmedabad in Summer with Kids
Beyond escape rooms, here are a few more options worth knowing about:
- Science City: One of the best science museums in India, and genuinely engaging for kids aged 7 and above. The energy park and space show are the highlights. It’s large, so plan for at least half a day.
- Indoor play zones: Options like Funcity and similar venues work well for younger kids (3–8). Lower on stimulation for older ones, but great as a weekend morning option.
- Art and activity workshops: Several studios around Ahmedabad run drop-in workshops through summer. Check local social media groups for schedule updates.
- Movie mornings: Multiplex chains often run family screenings on weekday mornings during summer. Cheaper tickets, quieter screens, and it uses up a good two hours.
Tips for Managing Kids Through Ahmedabad Summer Vacation
- Build a loose weekly structure, not a daily schedule. Kids do better with a rhythm than a timetable — “Mornings are for something active, afternoons are for something fun indoors” is enough of a framework.
- Plan one “event” per week. Something bookable and time-bound — an escape room, a museum visit, a workshop — gives kids something to look forward to and breaks up the week.
- Use the cooler parts of the day. Early mornings (before 9am) and evenings (after 6:30pm) are the only windows for outdoor time. If you want to go to a park or get some fresh air, those are your slots.
- Don’t underestimate boredom. A few unstructured afternoons are fine and healthy. The problem is five consecutive days of nothing.
