About Bangalore Toddlers
Bangalore Toddlers is a free guide to activities for babies and toddlers in Bangalore (Bengaluru). Areas covered in Central Bengaluru, East Bengaluru, South Bengaluru, North Bengaluru, West Bengaluru, Outskirts. Venue facts are hand-checked against official pages; public library branch calendars (Bangalore Public Library (KSPLS) branches, Indiranagar and Koramangala bookshop storytimes without a public calendar) aren't connected yet. It gathers storytelling sessions, children's libraries, museums, parks, lakes, play areas and kid events into one phone-friendly page, so you can plan a morning around nap time.
It's made by a parent. There are no ads, no accounts and no tracking cookies. The site is not affiliated with any venue, library or government body.
How it works
- Every place and event is hand-checked against its official page (venue sites, Karnataka Tourism, museum and government pages), with the source and the date it was checked on every listing.
- Playgrounds and splash pads come from OpenStreetMap; children's events from the Bangalore International Centre calendar; weather and air quality from Open-Meteo.
- Every listing links back to the original source. If a source is down, its listings are left out rather than guessed.
Right now the guide lists 1 storytimes (0 for babies), 40 parks and playgrounds and 21 areas.

Report a problem
Every session, park and pick has a "⚑ Report a problem" link (cancelled, moved, closed, gate broken or anything else). It opens your email app with a message to the site owner, with the item already filled in. Hand-kept details show the date they were last checked.
Privacy
No analytics, no cookies, no tracking. Your city, age and nap choices are saved only in your browser (localStorage) and are never sent anywhere.
The "email me when my city is added" link just opens your own email app. "Add to calendar" downloads a file straight to your device, and calendar subscriptions are plain files your calendar app fetches; we can't see who subscribes. "Send this week to…" uses your phone's own share sheet or copies a link; nothing is sent to us.
