I was there on May 4, 2023. It's a vast area that combines a zoo, botanical garden, museum, and amusement park. I explored the zoo and museum during my visit. The zoo is large and spacious, but it lacks an adequate number of wild animals, especially tigers. There were no tigers to be seen, and the size of the lions was only slightly larger than that of a big dog, which was disappointing.
