    A quick idea is to give the kids a “door to event” card that lists a few key battles of Tipu Sultan. As they walk, they match each carved door to the card and guess which battle it hints at. After the mausoleum, a walk to the nearby fort lets them compare how many gates each place has and see the practical side of Tipu’s design. If you’re staying at KK Comforts, grab a snack there before heading to the fort.
