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.
My Verdict:
A
great place for half a day picnic with family and school going children.
Best time to visit:
Around
the year. However considering the hot weather, winter is considered as the best
time to visit.
Places around:
Adalaj
Stepwell, Akshardham Temple
Tips:
- Avail the golf cart facility if you are unable to walk for an hour or so
- Don’t try to feed the animals
