Commonly known as the Mumbai Zoo or Byculla Zoo, the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan is a large green space in the heart of the city. It's not just a zoo but also a botanical garden, making it one of the oldest public gardens in Mumbai. Visitors can explore enclosures housing a variety of animals, including elephants, tigers, leopards, crocodiles, and different species of birds in a large aviary. The layout allows for long walks along tree-lined paths connecting the different animal habitats.
