Traveler reviews
Sebanti Chakrabarti
★★★★★Edited 4 months agoWhat an absolutely beautiful park. Such an enjoyable place. Go there with family or friends, you will love it. The place looks heavenly. All those cute animals add more to the place. The green is something to actually look at and appreciate. Very big area. You can walk, jog, run, or just simply sit and have a wonderful place. Not much known to tourists, but an absolute gem.
Tugce Bolat Alvar
★★★★★a year agoWe weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived, but it turned out to be an incredible place. Watching animals move freely in a large area and interact with people was a delightful experience. Best place to go with your family, many sitting areas to watch around.
