Siddharth Garden and Zoo, Zoo and garden in Aurangabad, India
Siddharth Garden and Zoo is a zoo in Aurangabad, India, where animal enclosures sit alongside planted areas and walking paths. The site holds tigers, lions, leopards, and a range of other species spread across grounds that also include open green spaces.
The site opened in 1984 and gradually became one of the main leisure spots in the Aurangabad area. Over the years it expanded to include an aquarium and a musical fountain alongside the original animal enclosures.
A large Buddha statue stands in one part of the garden and draws visitors who stop to look at it. Families from Aurangabad come here on weekends and holidays to walk through the grounds and watch the animals.
The zoo sits near the center of Aurangabad and is easy to reach by auto-rickshaw or on foot from many parts of the city. Visiting in the morning is a good idea since the heat builds up quickly through the day and animals tend to be more active earlier.
The complex has an aquarium that displays freshwater fish from the region, which many visitors miss because they focus on the larger animals. It is housed in a separate building and worth a short detour, especially for children.
