So, the good old Balvatika Kankaria? Forget it. This is New Balvatika Kankaria 2.0—shiny, bigger, full of new stuff, and honestly, feels nothing like the dusty old version.

I’ll break it down for you—what’s inside, the updated Balvatika Kankaria ticket price, timings, and a few tips I wish someone had told me earlier.

My Take
Balvatika fun carnival Ahmedabad is probably the best way to describe this upgrade. Balvatika 2.0 feels like the city finally decided to level up its kid-entertainment game. Some rides are overpriced (Snow Park), but overall, it’s cleaner, more organized, and far more engaging than the old version.
If you’ve got kids—or if you’re still a kid at heart—you’ll walk out tired, lighter in the wallet, but smiling.
