When it comes to a vacation in Goa, we have all done the drill. Most of us have escaped to this city in search of peace, quiet and serenity, something that Mumbai lacks tremendously. With hectic work schedules and routines that take over our life, even a short quick trip can offer immense rejuvenation.

However, when one thinks of Goa, beaches are what comes to mind instantly. For bachelors and youngsters this might be the place to party but what does one do on a trip with family where kids are involved? Goa has multiple attractions that are equally enticing and exciting as the ones that seem alluring when you take a trip without the family.
