cool.. do they have good rides?

bubblegum · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:40 AM

Joyland- Not really, they are very old and rusty! Mostly for little kids.
I'm not sure about sozo water park because i went there a long time ago so I can't remember.
You won't find theme parks inPakistan like you find in the uk/usa.

I figured though i'd still like to see what they do have

bubblegum · Jun 17th, 2009, 10:45 AM

Yeah defo u should check them out...Mind you Joyland is always packed with people regardless the condition of the rides.
Are you from the USA?

There's a natural park around thokar niaz beg, freely roaming animals etc., but it's nothing to be excited about, just nice.

Mini Golf is a nice place to hang out but a bit late in night, never been there in evenings so can't say much about that. And well make sure you choose a family area, I like tree-top the best. I was there in Feb and enjoyed chilled nights sipping hot mugs of chai with family n friends.

There are lots of other cafes and eat out place already been mentioned, try BBQs, Lahore has the best of BBQs in this world.

Aisha Dubaiwali · Jun 19th, 2009, 05:06 AM

I dont know if it an art gallery but al hambra i think its called is very popular... its something to do with art and theatre...

bubblegum · Jun 19th, 2009, 10:40 AM

They usually have a few art exhibitions and stuff going on but its the matter of knowing the dates and the location.
You can find these out from the local newspapers and magazines.
