Stroll through Viharamahadevi Park, the oldest and largest park in Colombo. Lush and well-maintained plant life, such as tall trees and colorful flowers, surround the pathways and benches. Walk over the lake's suspension bridge and visit the war memorial, paying tribute to Sri Lankan and European soldiers who died in both world wars. Kids love the extensive play area featuring a massive playhouse, swings, slides, and mini hills. Pick up some cotton candy as you walk over to the small but rewarding aquarium.

    Calm place for lovers and suitable for studying. There is a separate area for kids. You can find restaurants and food trucks nearby. Very attractive and there are huge trees. You should be aware of crows. You can see several water falls, washrooms with average conditions which you have to pay for using them.
