For families, this amusement park is perfect to spend a weekend afternoon. Filled with amusement rides, roller coasters and a petting zoo, this park turns out to be a great place for both adults and kids.

According to history, this park was originally built as a zoo. However, in 1871 famine struck the city because of which many animals were killed and eaten. Later in the early 20the century, the zoo was used as ‘human zoo’ where tribal groups including Kalmyks and Nubians were exhibited. Eventually, this inhuman experience was replaced with an amusement park that had a regular animal zoo inside.

Today, the park has so many features that it can make your weekend afternoon memorable. Some of the features are:-
