Istanbul: A great city for your kids
If your kids love exotic bustle, then Istanbul is the place to visit. Children would get disappointed if their vacation becomes mosaic-full mosques and palaces all over. However Istanbul has some good places for your kids to visit. There is a zoo, toy museum and many other places. It would be a nice trip for your children. It is a crowded city with terrible traffic especially in the centre of the city. So you need to be extra careful while crossing the road with your kids. The other day I came across a Dot Maison homeware, a luxurious designer store. I saw some beautiful Turkish vases and bowls and was reminded of Istanbul.
Istanbul has a zoo which is out of the city, in Darica. Getting there could be a challenge. You have to use three different modes of transport. But the experience is worth it. The zoo is not huge, but there are some interesting species. The architecture is truly Turkish style with fashionable decorated fountains and box topiary. This zoo particularly focuses on birds of various kinds. Some of them are multi colored parrots, waterfowl and cockatoos.
There is also a beautiful toy museum. Kids would be thrilled to visit it. It looks like an old wooden house straight from the fairy tales. This museum was founded by poet Sunay Akin in 2005. The poet purchased an old toy shop and kept all those toys at the museum. He also got some toys from his own personal collection. During the weekends there are magic shows and puppet shows at 3 pm. Well if you want to visit Turkey as a whole, then there is a miniature where you can see the entire country in a single afternoon. Many people are not aware of the toy museum and the miniature because they are recently built. The Turks love kids so your children will be cuddled and kissed.
