A Little Sea In City Of Joy

Sweating much in humid weather of May? Weather office looking for
clouds too. Heat of summer noon. So, you want a relief
within reach? Just go to Nicco Park and meet the only sea-beach of
Kolkata - 'Wet-O-Wild'. The main attraction of this summer is the wave
pool of this little sea. You can swim on
the waves of sea, or just wet and dance in 'Rain Dance'. Moreover, a
'Multiple Wave Runner' is there, 'Kitpool' for the kids and 'Beach
Café'. And the most remarkable news is that, you need not to pay
extra money to enter at the sea beach - as it is a part of Nicco Park.
And the opening time of this artificial sea beach is from 11:30 in the
morning to 6:30 in the evening.
So, why are you thinking? Just take a bus, and go to the sea-beach. --
