It is a matter of choice. There is no such rule in Hinduism that forces people to go to temple. But, temples by and large have a lot of positive energy in its atmosphere, because of the constant chanting of prayers and poojas being performed. Hence, a lot of people find a certain sense of peace when they are temples, which they don't sense when they are home.

As Christians go to Church and Muslims go to Mosque, Hindus pray in Mandir a.k.a Hindu temple. It is place of worship, where Hindus pay respect to God

Other names for Hindu temple are Mandir, Devalayam, Devasthanam, Kshetralayam, Jambalaya, Ko-ail, Aalayam, Deula, etc.

Children also go there to learn. People give offerings of food and money to show they respect the gods/deities.

The devotees conduct special ceremonies like Arti, Archane, Abhisheka, Utsava, Rathotsava, Kumbhabhisheka and other Kainkaryas.

Sometimes, in the the temple premises, people perform Harikathe (stories of Hindu Gods), sing devotional songs, dance Bharathanatyam, etc.

Temples are residences of God for Hindus. People go there to focus on the Idol and meditate to get peace of mind. In a placelike a temple, where all the people have one pointed goal of worshipping God, there are spiritual vibrations created in that atmosphere. By that way, by just entering the temple one's thoughts changes and the mind calms down.

Do you have to go to the Mandir to be a good Hindu?

As Christians go to Church and Muslims go to Mosque, Hindus pray in Mandir a.k.a Hindu temple. It is place of worship, where Hindus pay respect to God The devotees conduct special ceremonies like Arti, Archane, Abhisheka, Utsava, Rathotsava, Kumbhabhisheka and other Kainkaryas. Sometimes, in the the temple premises, people perform Harikathe (stories of Hindu Gods), sing devotional songs, dance Bharathanatyam, etc. However, it is not necessary to visit a temple in order to be a good Hindu, if you have faith in god and the the will power, concentration and good qualities to worship god in your mind and soul, then you are a good Hindu.
