Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Colombo, Western Province
Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

This is a very beautiful temple to worship the Lord Buddha. A very sacred area and shoes must be removed of course, however they are removed before you enter the grounds which are quite extensive so do remember to wear socks as the sand and paving stones can be very very hot! There are places around where worshippers leave flowers and gifts for the Buddha and pray. Inside the temple there is a marvellous gold sleeping Buddha covered with the finest muslin or silk. The frescos are very old and tell the story of the temple. A very beautiful sacred place.

Reviewed By NathanWW - Sydney, Australia
Located on the Beira Lake, Gangaramaya temple is built in an unusual mix of Indian, Thai, Chinese and Sri Lankan architectural styles. The temple complex comprises a cluster of shrines that surround a peaceful courtyard, with a dagoba at the centre. The museum just off the courtyard displays various gifts donated to the temple over the years, ranging from Buddhist statues to vintage cars. As with any Buddhist temple, visitors must first take off their shoes before entering; however, the floor tends to get heated very quickly, so it is wise to take a pair of socks with you.
7. Mount Lavinia Beach

4.0 based on 1,509 reviews
Mount Lavinia Beach is located just out of the Colombo city. This beach strip has a lot to offer for the locals as well as the tourists visiting Colombo. Along the beach there are many nice restaurants pubs as well as relaxing areas. As a tourist who is visiting Colombo, Mount Lavinia Beach is a must visit. The weekends could be crowded with locals though, during the week it is relaxing and peaceful. If you would relax at a pool overlooking the ocean or the sunset, The Mount Lavinia Hotel terrace is recommended. You can use the Mount Lavinia Hotel pool for an affordable fee.
