One of the most popular places for families in Colombo, Galle Face Green is an expansive public space beside the sea in the heart of the city. Especially popular on weekend evenings, this park area is an ideal place for kids to run around and have fun, play games or engage in kite flying for which the sea breeze is perfect. A great spot for a family picnic, there are plenty of options for buying food here too including the presence of trucks selling ice cream, a perennial favourite amongst all ages.
