Known forheritagezoobotanicalVictorian
Directions

Mumbai's oldest and most storied public garden, Rani Baug houses both a zoo and a botanical garden with Victorian-era heritage structures and a remarkable collection of plants. The zoo has been significantly upgraded in recent years and includes lions, leopards, and a popular flamingo enclosure. The botanical garden section is genuinely beautiful with rare tree specimens and well-labeled flora. It's a full half-day outing; avoid peak summer afternoons as the zoo section offers limited shade.
