Indroda Nature Park, also know as "Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park" is spread over 400 hectares in Gandhinagar. It is regarded as India's Jurrasic Park and is one of the only two dinosaur museums in the country, other being Balasinor Dinosaur Museum. Dinosaur replicas and a massive skeleton of a blue whale are the two key attractions of the park.
Apart from these, the park consists of a zoo and a vast botanical garden as well. Once can see a variety of birds, reptiles, nilgais, langurs and peafowls at the park. Zoo has animals like leopard, lion, spotted deer, sambar, blue bull, blackbuck, chinkara, jackal, crocodile, porcupine and more. Kids just loved this place.
