    150rs per person would give ppl a chance to ride on peddle boat, go fishing, enjoy the kids area and enjoy the beauty of the place. More bigger packages available depending on crowd and timing.

    It is very beautiful project. Unfortunately, the worst staff. We request the department manager to take necessary action immediately. Possitive: -Excellent nature, beautiful location. -Boating is awesome Negatives: pls improve immediately. - Restaurant staff ladies are old and very rude with visitors. They are thinking that visitors are their slaves. So, please train them to behave properly with visitors. Or change staff immediately. Teach them to be polite with visitors to attract more visitors. - Keep a complaint box to know visitor’s views - There is a toilet in restaurant which they keep locked after 2.30pm. So, no hygiene toilet available at the premises. So, please make 3-4 toilets with a cleaning staff to keep toilet hygiene always. Or allow access for visitors to restaurant toilet after restaurant time also. - The manager should communicate with visitors to know their views. - food is not served in floating restaurant yet. We need to keep floating restaurant to be available during working hours. -

    Best place to spend a day with family, but the staffs are not friendly especially in the restaurant. They belive we came there for free and food provided is their favour/ biksha. Special food items are there but would say no due to the difficulty in cooking and serving.

    A good casual experience for families.There is a long walk area near to the back waters.There are some swings,pedal and speed boats.Lunch will be included in entry fees costing around 300 per person.Special fish dishes can be purchased by paying a premium. Good for a one time visit.

  • 3/5 Amjith K. 5 years ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Entry fee is per head 250, one time meal, one ice cream and pedal boating is included in it. From parking you have to walk very long to reach here. I prefer this place for kids....they'll find some fun here. Moreover, adults and elders will have the opportunity for pedal and normal boating, fishing (still won't get any fish). Food is average (with fish curry and fry) for special you have to pay. As far as i concerned it's only a average place that you can visit.

    Located a bit from main road. Entry fee and lunch included package on weekdays cost 250 and on weekends it’s 300. Evening 3 to 6 pack also available. Location is good and maintained. There is a scenic view of lakes coconut trees and calm breeze will soothe your soul. Restaurant is OK with special extras available. Pedal boating and speed boating available. Children’s park area is also good. Enjoyable with family.

    The Aqua Tourism Centre, embraced by nature's tranquility, provides a respite from the hustle of daily life. Amidst the serene surroundings, the melodious symphony of birdsong creates a harmonious atmosphere, inviting a sense of calm reflection. Paddle boating transforms into a rhythmic meditation, each gentle stroke echoing the peaceful heartbeat of the environment.As one navigates the tranquil waters, the act of fishing becomes more than a means of sustenance; it evolves into a profound connection with the natural world. The simple joy of catching a meal mirrors the uncomplicated beauty of the aquatic landscape.In this haven of simplicity, time takes on a leisurely pace, allowing for a genuine appreciation of each fleeting moment. The Aqua Tourism Centre is more than a destination; it is a retreat for the soul, where the nuances of nature unfold in a quiet dance, and the essence of simplicity is celebrated like a timeless melody, echoing in the heart's quiet chambers.

    Nice place to relax. There is nothing much to explore or experience. It's just a walkway in the middle of the lake. At the end of the path, have some good climate change. There is a long walking distance from the parking space. There is not much good parking availability. Have a good lunch with delicious curries. Also have some lake fish special items with extra charge. I don't think the package is not value for money. Maximum we can spend 1hr to 1.5 hrs there. Pedel boats are available, this may be the main attraction of palakkari. Also we can see some fish agriculture. Charges will be 300 per person including lunch, boating, and experience. Also they were given a small size ice cream. Still I don't know why they added it to the package. Really not good. It's just for naming attractions. I have a lot of expectations before we went there. Only 1 Time we can go there. Nothing special than one time visiting. For the timing, the fee may change. Evening time packages are in a different fee schedule. Also they have some other packages that include different attractive activities. We don't see that much more. Otherwise all good for a small relaxation

    Don't go with family on holidays, you might be in a long queue for lunch. Best time to enjoy the ambience is after 3.30pm. Supporting staff could have improved their language while interacting with customers.

    It's an apt place for evening hangouts, if you are looking for a place to spent your evening apart from busy schedules this is the one, for evening visit 3 to 6pm they are charging 50 rupees with free pedal boating, if you are wish to spent full day the charge is 200 rupees with fish curry and fry meals and ice cream. But I strongly recommended this place for evening visits, So go for it.

  • 1/5 naseer r. 4 years ago on Google
    We 14 Nos. planned a trip from palakkari to Pathira manal by boat.costing 1000 rs per head. The journey was totally boring with a local private boat. No leisure time ,relaxation during the journey and hault locations such as ktdc thanneer mukkam bund and pathira manal. 90 % of total time from 7.30 AM to evening spend for journey.Food supplied in paper plate , tea without snack is also unsatisfactory. BETTER TO AVOID THE TRIP.

  • 4/5 RAJI v. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool and silent place. Prebooking needed if you plan a full day there including lunch and tea with snacks.Boating, fishing, swings are available. This place is a village area with fresh air and greenary. Its in development stage. This place is in Kattikunnu, which is at the border to Ernakulam district. And the actor Mamooty's native place Chempe is near by. A good picnic spot for family getogether.some resorts are also near by.

    We reached there by 1:15 pm. RS.250 for entrance which includes fish curry meal which gives you a pretty good feel as the fish is very fresh. It is reasonable even if we add special dishes. We can spend good time with kids if you have patience and like to spend time with children. Enough play area for children. Their ticket costs give you access to play area, pedal boating and fishing rode. I prefer going there in the afternoon by 1. Govt spots only expect the same kind of service. It is fine for this cost.

  • 2/5 Prasad M N. 1 year ago on Google
    Location is good. Bit infrastructure needs improvement. Bathroom facility and snacks/ food arrangement needs improvement. Congested restaurant and lack of systems. Some dedicated supervisors required. Washbasin without water. Area can be better utilised as it is a beautiful site with natural scene. Give training to staff to behave properly. No manners and no sense of behavior .

  • 5/5 hemachandra s. 3 years ago on Google
    We took the "Tarangini" package Farm manager was patient and answered all our queries and provided detailed information. Staff made us feel comfortable with stay I would say this place is hidden gem. Backwater ride, row boating, pedal ride, Fishing, Cage culture and scenic lake view are few highlights. Breakfast, Lunch and snacks were good.

  • 3/5 Shabna S. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is really good! It's really beautiful and the food was not really good bcs they provide a fish with throns which kids can't eat and the selection of curries were bad! The men staffs are really kind and good behaving but the women are really rude! When we asked for water they told us to fetch from river it because they doesn't even have a generator! And the boating and all are good! Park is really clean and nice. So expect the staffs everything is all good!

  • 3/5 Noyal B. 3 years ago on Google
    It's not the best but a good place to spent weekend with family......evening time is the apt hours of the day to spent time here and do kayaking, pedal boating, etc.....it's better to take tickets when u visit rather than by online early, there are much more cheaper packages available than the tharagani package......food was just average.......speed boating was below expectations and also the shikari boat was so old and rusty.......

    Place is very beautiful, with lot of activities like boating, fishing, park etc. Need improvement in the following:- - Cleanliness in toilets. - Behaviour of staffs - Telephone receptionist must attend calls. - Bill should provide for all monies collected. - an area should be arranged like a beach for swimming and bath.

  • 5/5 Sangeeth S. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb experience. Good for a family outing. Has fishing and boating options. Parking is limited and be ready to walk if you want to experience the place in full. Be careful if you are with kids as most of the area is open and not fenced.

    A nice place for an eveing hangout or a family get together. Its a serene place.. on the banks of backwaters there is a big fish farm and you can do fishinv here.. there is also good restaurant with seafood and meals at noon. And pazham pori fish cutlet and tea during evenings.. they also have pedal boating and kayaking.. hammocks are there for taking a relaxing nap. ITS A GOOD PLACE TO VISIT AND SPEND A COUPLE OF HOURS.. Nb: the place will close at 6pm so please come here before 4 pm. Otherwise its a waste..evening ticket are less expensive.. we can do boating with that ticket.. morning/noon ticket is about 300-350 per head(not sure about exact price) Its inclusive of lunch and icecream..

  • 4/5 Sumesh K. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice ambience. Don't expect too much. It's a scenic beauty mostly and not created one. Food is good but again don't expect too much. Food included in the entry pass will have only 2 small pieces of fish ( one free and another Curry). U can order prawns or karimeen or kakka etc. as special item. But mostly they won't tell you what u can get additionally. That's something which I didn't like. They don't tell u the options at the entry or during lunch. But at ice cream counter they told the options. Pedal boat is included with entry pass. Speed boat, shikara boats are available at extra cost. Fishing rods (not rods but naadan choonda) are available for rent at 20 rs. Fish caught can be taken home, but u will have to pay for the fish.

  • 1/5 soly p. 4 years ago on Google
    Very bad...Its waste of money. I dont suggest this place anymore. They have increased charges from inr 50 to inr 150 on pub holidays post afternoon, with no added facility. Its a total disorganised functioning. Totally disappointed and will never come again.....
