Sanctuary from the loud city!
One of the very few zoos in the country that is spread over in a forest. This itself gives a nice feeling. Animals are few but the overall atmosphere is nice.

Excellent picnic spot
Good spot within the city. A good picnic spot also. Toy train ride is good. Some spots may be closed like butterfly park, need 2-3hours. Points for snacks are very less
