Company Garden
Company Garden is the location that is considered to be one of the most child-friendly in Mussoorie because the place is located in a green garden. There will be boating, a small section, amusement rides, flower-beds and open lawns.
Perfect program to spend with a family: as the children take rides, parents will take time to savor the views.
Hint: Go in the mornings to avoid other people and have the gardens to oneself.
Mussoorie Lake
This lake is close to town, but within a short drive it can be boated and the children have a modest amount of fun here, which is another good choice to sightsee Mussoorie with the family.
It is scenic and safe as the waters are calm and the hills around make it a nice place to stop and have your family.
Hint: Pack warm-up clothes to the children- it gets cold around the lake.
Lal Tibba (Viewpoint)
This is the peak of Mussoorie and has breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Nice with older children and families that desire a wow-view.
Note: Go there early in case you see better and have fewer people; bring jackets as it is windy.

Gun Hill
Something fun to do: ride the cable-car up, and get the view and allow the kids to admire the view.
Hint: It is better to visit it during late afternoon when you can enjoy a sunset and avoid heat in the middle of the day.
Mall Road & Camel’s Back Road
The Mall Road is ideal in terms of small leisurely walking, buying souvenirs and trying local delights- just the entire family can enjoy it.
The site is just near Camel Back Road that provides a smoother scenic walk or pony ride by kids as parents rest.
Hack: Have snacks when walking with children in case the walks become long. It is further enhanced by evening lights on Mall Road.
Kempty Falls
When families are in need of a trip to nature and fun, Kempty falls have the potential of providing water and greenery and picnic.
Caution: The waterfall area is prone to be crowded and slippery mostly with children.
Hint: Young ones should not wear deep pools and should have non-slip shoes.
Benog Wildlife sanctuary (also called Mussoorie Wildlife sanctuary)
A nature lover’s choice: It is a quieter Mussoorie sightseeing place with children because it includes walking tracks, birdwatching and forest tranquility.
Tip: Carry an insect repellent and stick to marked paths. Nice place to disconnect and have fun with children.
Landour
Right next to Mussoorie is Landour with its lovely cafes (superior to children), walks and quaint charm.
Hint: Take the children to a bakery and stick to short walks, which is exciting, not exhausting.
Mussoorie Heritage Centre
A hidden treasure: an educational and relaxing option, perfect to spend an hour with the children who like to discover something.
Hint: This visit should be arranged as a mid-afternoon excursion on the active sightseeing.
Happy Valley
To have a less vigorous stroll than in the big city, Happy Valley has gardens, easy paths and a slow rhythm that is ideal in a family with young children.
Hint: You should combine this with another one of the attractions in the same area lest the attraction consume an entire day.

Tips for a Smooth Family Trip
- Book in a hotel that is well situated in its location and thereby minimize travelling long distances with children.
- Bring blankets and umbrellas: it is possible that mountains play tricks on you, and the wind is cold, or it pours.
- Make one or two huge stops a day (not 5). The kids do not want to be over-packed.
- When the children become restless on the road, the best friends are snacks and water.
- Safety warning: In nature spots (falls, sanctuaries) it is always good to watch children, at all times, hills and water are all so beautiful yet risky.
- In case of travelling between Delhi/Gurgaon routes, be sure to travel on weekdays or during early mornings so that you do not have to face the traffic on the weekend.
