    If you have enough money in your pocket and u need enjoyment. This is the perfect place in ooty. Because this place filled with entertainment in highly costly rate. Many fun giving activities. 5 minutes of 7d movie experience cost you 120 Rs. Boat journey cost you 850 Rs. Even if you would like to enter to see the lake you have to pay 15 Rs. Parking fee is 59 Rs and they will charge you 60 Rs. Place is good and giving much money to govt. Eventhough govt not made a digital ticket booking system.

    Picturesque water body and the environment. The boating facility is good. The overall ambiance is sporty and pleasant. The entry ticket is Rs. 30 per person. Food quality at the FOOD COURT needs to be improved. My rating is 4.0 as there is a scope for improvement.

    Probably the most touristy spot in Ooty. Easily accessible by cars, cabs or buses. This is a beautiful spot with a small amusement area for children, park like seating area for adults & also with boating options on the lake. One can choose from paddle boating or motor boat options. Also there is a food court to meet your cravings.

    Super.Ooty Lake is one of the most refreshing and beautiful places to visit in Ooty. It lies at a distance of approximately 2 km from Ooty city in the green hills Surrounded by eucalyptus trees and dollops of green bushes along the shores, Ooty Lake is an artificially constructed lake with picturesque natural surroundings. he Ooty Lake Boat House run by Tamil Nadu Tourism offers various boat rides to savour the views around. When it isn't crowded, you can enjoy a serene 30 minutes of ride among the greens, trees and the view of distant hills. One of the best place to vist in ootty. 👌👌

    The Ooty Lake is the pride of the Blue Hills. It is the central and strategic attraction. Mr. John Sullivan formed this artificial lake in the year 1824, the then Collector of Coimbatore. The Ooty lake which extends to an area of 65 acres. Earlier the entire lake was used for fishing. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation on behalf of the Tourism Department took the possession of the lake for pleasure boating facilities in the year 1973. Another added attraction of the Ooty lake is the Mini Train and an amusement park. it is a must see for yourself place in Tamil Nadu

    When we visited it was a pleasant weather and slight drizzle added to it to create a picturesque scenery. We experienced a nice visit and a fond memory for the life time. The boat rides are pedal ones with 2, 4, 8 sharing and a bigger one for bigger groups even.

    A boat ride in that misty and chilly climate with great views, its an amazing experience. They have lawn space to relax and enjoy. Some rides are also setup nearby to lake. A mini toy train experience and horse riding also is provided here. The small market here, is comparatively cheaper than the ones near the botanical garden.

    One of the fine hotspot of Ooty which is located at the heart of the hill station, it is a man made lake which has become a prime tourist spot, you will find all the type of boat rides here. This lake is also filmed in many hindi and south Indian films as this is not only a lake but it is surrounded by beautiful lush green hills. The people over here have developed a lot of kids playing area over here for the kids to enjoy. This should be a must in your list when you visit this place.

    A must visit spot located in Ooty. This lake is nestled in the mid of lush green hills. The best way to enjoy the beauty of this lake is by taking a boat ride. Speed boats and pedal boats are available on hire. The spectacular views of the lake and the surroundings turn out to be eye-catching.

    Preserving this ecosystem is crucial, and efforts have been made to maintain the delicate balance. Conservation initiatives, pollution control measures, and preservation of the surrounding vegetation are essential to protect the diverse life forms and maintain the natural beauty of Ooty Lake. Balancing human activity and the preservation of this delicate ecosystem is key to ensuring its longevity for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.

    Ooty is always amazing place to visit. You can visit with the family. it is a hill station there are 3-4 very nice place to visit. Try to experience the toy train from Konoor to Ooty or vice versa. Ooty lake is amazing. You can get very tummy food in Ooty lake canteen. You may go for shooping for local chocolates and other interesting stuffs. In Ooty lake, you xan go for nice boating with your family in reasonable rates.

  • 4/5 Vimal S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Ooty Boat House is very touristy, but it's a lot of fun for families and couples. Apart from boating, there are rides like a large ship swing, bumper cars, horse riding, and a house of horrors which kids will love. There are also clothes stores and food options to cater to tourists. I suppose the prices are also higher than the local businesses outside the Boat House. There is a road that encircles the lake and it's a nice walk if you have the energy. The Boat House is within walking distance from the bus-stand, so you don't need to hire a cab/auto. And take the North Lake Road which is between the bus-stand and railway station. The Avalanche Road which passes St. Thomas Church is confusing and longer. Warning: Some areas of the lake/boat house aren't that clean. Welcome to India. :-)

    Different varieties of entertainment items in one place. Childrens amusement park, 7D Cinema, shooting spot,horse riding, horror House,10 mint train journey and varieties of boatings. But I think all are overpricd. Toilets are ugly

  • 5/5 Abhishek M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a beautiful Lake in Ooty. Altough it's a crowded place but one must visit the Ooty lake and enjoy the boat ride. Especially the Paddle boat ride. They are very strict about the timing. Most paddle boats can be enjoyed for only 30 minutes. They will take a extra deposit money which they will return once you finish boating within 30 minutes of time. If you cross the time limit than they will deduct money from your deposit. Overall the experience is good.

  • 5/5 Sachin Sinny - Lifestyle J. 11 months ago on Google
    Near to ooty town and best spot for boating, activists and entertainment. Childrens can have plenty of playing and entertainment activities and toys. There we can ride on a toy train just for 10rs per head (1km). Can spend a lot of time here worth it

  • 3/5 Gainady D. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mounika K. 9 months ago on Google
    A beautiful lake with boating options like motor boat and pedal boating. There are ducks in the lake and the water in this lake is green. When we were boating in the lake it was drizzling making our experience even better adding to the scenic beauty of the place. There is also a toy train going around this lake. The lush green tall trees surrounding this lake was also so amazing.

  • 3/5 Yasser A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Namrata P. 8 months ago on Google
    Ooty Lake is a serene and picturesque destination that offers a calming escape in the heart of Ooty. The lake's scenic beauty, surrounded by lush greenery and hills, creates a tranquil ambiance perfect for a leisurely boat ride. The boating experience on Ooty Lake is delightful, allowing visitors to soak in the beauty of the surroundings while enjoying a peaceful time on the water. The cool breeze and serene atmosphere make it a pleasant respite from the city's hustle and bustle. The only downside is the occasional crowd during peak tourist seasons, which may slightly diminish the tranquility.

  • 5/5 Usha P. 3 years ago on Google
    Though crowded with tourists, if you get here early enough, this is one of the most serene and beautiful in Ooty. Made famous after the movie"Maine Pyar Kiya" was released. The still green water artificial lake is surrounded by green hills. A boat ride on this away from the crowds is highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Arpit S. 3 years ago on Google

    The ooty lake is a artificial lake created in 1820's and is one of the main attractions in ooty. The lake is beautiful with a walkway around it from the boat jetty. It is accompanied by a small children's park,boat rides and horse rides.

  • 5/5 FARZIN A. 3 years ago on Google
    Ooty lake is an artificial lake constructed by John Sullivan, in 1824. The water flowing down mountain streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to form the lake. The lake became empty on three occasions when it breached its bund. The lake was originally intended to be used for fishing with ferries being used to travel across the lake. It gradually shrunk from its original size giving place to the current bus stand race course, and the lake park. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation on behalf of the Tourism Department took the possession of the lake in 1973, for providing boating facilities as a tourist attraction
