Best Playground Hotels in Aurangabad
1 family-friendly hotels with playground in Aurangabad . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Only one Aurangabad hotel has a dedicated playground: The Fern Residency, two kilometres from Aurangabad Airport. It's part of a broader family setup that also includes an outdoor pool, an indoor play area and a kids' club, making it Aurangabad's most complete option for young children who need somewhere to play beyond a hotel room. The playground sits alongside family rooms with a work desk and minibar, and the property backs it up with a Chinese, Indian and Asian restaurant serving lunch, dinner and high tea. If a playground specifically is the deciding factor for your stay, this is currently the only Aurangabad hotel that offers one.
Aurangabad's hotel stock leans heavily toward function over play; most properties here are built around proximity to the caves and forts rather than entertaining young children on site, which is part of why only one hotel in the entire city has invested in a dedicated playground. That single property, The Fern Residency, effectively fills a gap the rest of the market has left open, making it the default recommendation for any family whose itinerary includes more than a night or two.

๐ฐWhy Aurangabad is Great for Hotels with Playground
Plan playground time for the hours right after a morning Ellora Caves trip, 33 kilometres from The Fern Residency. Kids are usually tired of walking but not tired of moving, and the playground gives an outlet that doesn't involve another long car ride. The indoor play area serves as the backup for the hottest part of the afternoon, when even the playground's shade isn't enough to make outdoor time comfortable for younger children, typically from late morning through mid-afternoon in Aurangabad's climate for much of the year, well before the evening cools down enough to go back outside.
For toddlers and preschool-age kids, the playground is likely the single most useful amenity on this list: an outdoor space built for their size, rather than a pool that needs constant supervision or a game room built more for older kids. School-age children get more out of the combination with the kids' club and outdoor pool, splitting the day between structured activities and free play rather than sticking to the playground alone, especially on days without a caves trip scheduled and with unstructured time to fill before the restaurant opens for dinner.
The Fern Residency sits in the four-star tier, a moderate step up from Aurangabad's budget family-suite hotels, and the playground is one part of a larger family package that also includes the pool, indoor play area and kids' club. For a family specifically prioritising young-child entertainment over sightseeing efficiency, the bundle of amenities here justifies the price difference more clearly than any single feature would on its own, since a family-suite hotel without a playground would need an outing just to give kids the same outlet, adding a car trip most families would rather skip.
Parent's take
Our three-year-old spent almost an hour at The Fern Residency's playground the afternoon we got back from Ellora Caves, thirty-three kilometres away, which bought us enough quiet time to actually finish our coffee at the hotel restaurant. It's a small thing, but on a trip built around long cave visits, that one outdoor space made the difference between a good afternoon and a meltdown.

Why families love The Fern Residency Aurangabad - Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar
Families staying here will find the indoor play area a lifesaver on the days the Aurangabad heat rules out the outdoor pool, and having both options under one roof means fewer negotiations about what comes next. The kids' club and playground extend that further for families with more than one age group to keep busy. At two kilometres from the airport, it also works well as a first or last night before flying out.
๐กTips for Choosing a Hotel with Playground in Aurangabad
- 1Head to The Fern Residency's playground right after a morning caves trip. Kids are usually restless but not up for more walking, and the playground gives them somewhere to burn it off.
- 2Use the indoor play area as your backup during the hottest hours of the afternoon, typically past midday, when even the shaded playground gets uncomfortable for younger children.
- 3Book a kids' club slot alongside playground time if you have children of different ages. Older kids can join structured activities while a toddler stays at the playground.
- 4Confirm playground opening hours directly with The Fern Residency before your trip. As Aurangabad's only playground hotel, it's worth planning around rather than assuming it matches typical hours.
- 5Pair a playground afternoon with the hotel's outdoor pool rather than choosing one or the other. Both are on site, so kids can switch between them as energy levels change.
