The largest of its kind in the country, the Alipur Zoological Garden along the Belvedere Road cover an area of 41 acres, laid out with well-maintained flower-beds and pools. The gardens contain a Reptile House where innumerable species of snakes including the King Cobra can be seen. There are two pools exclusively for crocodiles and alligators. The gardens have all other features that mark a premier zoo. The aquarium opposite the zoo is a recent addition worth a visit.
