Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park

The 153-acre Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park holds over 800 animals from 110 species, including tigers, leopards, elephants, and Indian rhinoceros in naturalistic settings.

The park began as a botanical garden in 1969 with 34 acres from the Governor House complex and expanded into a zoological park opening to visitors in 1973.

The facility functions as an educational institution where locals and tourists learn about wildlife conservation through exhibitions and organized programs throughout the year.

The zoo includes amenities such as toy trains, elephant rides, boat rides, an aquarium with 35 fish species, and designated picnic areas for families.

The park maintains one of the largest collections of Indian rhinoceros outside California's San Diego Zoo, contributing significantly to the species' conservation efforts.
