A day with Animals at Sanjay Gandhi Jaivik Udyan (Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Garden or Patna Zoo).

Back Home, once my friends decided to go to the City Zoo, which opened to the public as a zoo in 1973. This park is my city's most frequented picnic spot. The annual number of its visitor makes up approximately 750000.

You may also see more than 300 species of trees, herbs and shrubs. Plant exhibits include a nursery for medicinal plants, an orchid house, a fern house, a glass house, and a rose garden as well.
Tree House
My Bengali Friend, who is very fond of Fish – was full of enthusiasm, when we entered the aquarium which has about 35 species of fish and also having a snake house with 32 snakes belonging to 5 species.
Toy Train


Elephant ride for those who always wanted to feel like a king, Toy Train encircling all around the zoo is very popular especially among children but today it was our turn to become children again.



Besides, boating were also the most enthralling experience we had that day.
