One of my favourite places in Kuwait to spend a quality time with friends and families on a nice sunny winter. Located along the Gulf Road a man made facility...Green Island is one of the most visited places in Kuwait. This place is ideal for having outdoor family picnics and for Barbeques. Initially they had in-built ovens for placing the fire which has been removed recently..so u have to get your own complete Barbeque Kit to enjoy sizzling food. The Island is a huge place very well maintained and with a nice landscaping and a nice play area for kids. Recently the place is going through a renovation at the area near the beach along the Lagoon. The serene blue water all around and the nice little back water in the middle with a connector with the sea around is a sight to cherish when you visit this place. There are public restrooms at all convenient points all around the place. On a lighter note a nice walk all around the place is long enough to burn your calories. They also provide cycles and paddling cars on rentals. If you like you can carry your own cycles as well. The entry fee for the place is 1.5 KD per person and kids below 3 yrs can get in free. There will be staff at the entry gates with trolley to help you find a nice place inside and carry all your stuff in the trolley with a reasonable charge of 1 KD for the service. Once you find a place you can sit around on your own mattresses or get Tables and Chairs showing your tickets at another counter. The place gets really cold and chilly towards the evening ..so don't forget to carry warm clothes if you are visiting during the winters. Overall it's an excellent place to hang around with families..kids and friends for a day and come back hone with a cheerful fresh...
