The Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala is an orphanage, nursery, and captive breeding ground for Asian elephants. Pinnawala has the largest herd of captive elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) in the world. The orphanage was originally formed to protect elephants that were wounded or abandoned in the jungles and is one of the best activities for family adventure holidays in Sri Lanka.

The Royal Botanical Garden in Kandy is a recommended activity during your Sri Lanka family holiday. Initially conceived as a queen's pleasure garden in the 14th century and later a Kandyan prince's residence in the 18th century, the gardens were formally opened in their current form in 1821.
