The Aquarium and Zoo
The Aquarium Grotto in Galabaya Park in Zamalek (daily 8.30am-3pm; 50pt) displays 195 kinds of tropical fish amidst a labyrinth of passageways and stairs that children will love to explore. The entrance is on Sharia Galabaya, on the western side of the park. For a larger park and more to see, check out Cairo Zoo in Giza (daily 8.30am-4.30pm; last entry 3.30pm; 10pt, camera 20pt, GBPE5 to hold an animal); and the El-Urman Gardens (daily: winter 8.30am-4pm; summer 8.30am-5pm; 50pt, camera 50pt) across Sharia el-Gamia, a stately remnant of the Khedival Gardens laid out by the French. Both can be reached from Midan Tahrir by buses (#900, #115, #913 and many others) that run past the Manial Palace - another place that children should enjoy. Try to avoid Fridays, weekends or public holidays, when the zoo is packed with picnicking families.
