A visit to the fair and not savouring the snacks, no matter how unhealthy they could be, can never be justified
Nothing can be more fun than a ride on the pirates’ ship and the whiff of fresh air that it ensures at that elevation
But for the children, the ball pit remains an eternal favourite with a li’l bit of adult supervision
Trying one’s luck at the ball game is a must for visitors of all ages
A sip or two of fresh juice or colourful sherbets on a sultry evening is most welcome for parched throats
Before you head to the phuchka, jhal muri, bhel puri stall to titillate your tastebuds to your heart’s content
Take a trip back to your childhood days by bursting tiny balloons with an air rifle
Order your fast food made on a tawa before you tuck it in with your best friend, even if that means skipping dinner at home
The toy stall can entice visitors to pick up a nice toy for any child at home or those who are still child at heart
Collect a trinket or two to add to your collection of pride but of course, after a good bargain
