Shankar's International Dolls Museum

This place is very close to the National Children's Museum and actually we saw the same tourists at both museums on the same day! If you are feeling active, you could walk from that museum to this one, in about 15-20 minutes. There is quite a bit heavy traffic in front of the doll museum however, as it is located by a full parking lot, right next to the Times of India office, close to ITO. My girls loved this museum and my 6 year old oohed and aahed over almost all of them.

There is a strongly enforced rule on no photography allowed, which is why we have no photos to share!

TARA'S TIPS: It's really fun and some of the dolls are really pretty. It's fun to see what kind of dolls were at the stores in the past.

STROLLER: There is a large staircase up to the museum but once inside, it was very helpful to have the tired child in the stroller and not my arms.

FOOD: No eating allowed inside, supposedly, but we drank water from our own bottles with no problem. Ice cream/chips/drinks vendors right outside.

AUTO: We went around a very busy time and there were plenty of autos passing by/waiting.

FEES: 17/adult, 6/children, no foreigner charges
