A comprehensive guide to Ekta Nagar’s premier children’s attraction: Nutri-Train toy ride schedules, the 5 thematic interactive stations, official 2026 entry tariffs, age recommendations, and family pacing tips.
Executive Summary: What is the Children Nutrition Park?
The Children Nutrition Park is a 35,000-square-meter technology-driven theme park in Ekta Nagar developed to make health and balanced diet education engaging for kids. The centerpiece is the Nutri-Train, a custom mini electric train that transports young visitors through five interactive, gamified air-conditioned pavilions.
Key Visitor Rules: Entry costs ₹200 for Adults and ₹125 for Children (3–11 years), which covers full park access and the Nutri-Train boarding ticket. The park operates from 10:30 AM to 07:30 PM (closed Mondays). Located on Route 1 near Ekta Mall, its indoor air-conditioned pavilions make it the single best midday activity to escape outdoor summer heat.

3. Frequently Asked Questions
Can adults visit the park without accompanied children?
While adults can purchase tickets, the exhibits, Nutri-Train seating, and games are designed specifically for children aged 3 to 14. Adults without children usually find the content elementary and are advised to allocate that time towards the 153m Viewing Gallery, Jungle Safari, or the Sardar Sarovar Dam Viewpoints instead.
Are baby strollers allowed on the Nutri-Train?
Strollers are allowed throughout the park's paved walking concourses, but cannot be placed on the toy train cars due to safety clearance. A supervised stroller parking zone is available at the train boarding platform where you can securely leave your stroller before boarding.
Which shuttle bus connects to Children Nutrition Park?
