Know Before You Go
In addition to entry tickets, additional tickets are required for other facilities inside such as boating and the aquarium.
The park is compact and a quick walk around it can be covered in less than 20 minutes.
People are generally allowed to picnic and eat inside. However, you may not be able to carry your own food inside and may need to purchase items from facilities present inside the park.
Kids might like the aquarium inside the park but be aware that it is a very small one and the aquarium can be covered quickly in 5-15 minutes. Since the entry cost for the aquarium is usually low (~₹60), most people find it to be fair value for money.
The park is popular with and frequented by couples and students.
