સયાજી બાગ
A city park built by a maharaja in 1879, covering about 45 hectares, with a zoo, toy train, planetarium and museums.
Sayaji Baug, also known as Kamati Garden, was built by Maharaja Sayajirao III on the banks of the Vishwamitri River in 1879. Covering about 113 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in Western India. The park contains a zoo, a flower clock, a children's toy train, a planetarium, the Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery, and a health museum. Tree-lined paths are busy with locals exercising and strolling in the morning, and the park is lively in the evening.
Admission is very cheap, though some facilities charge separately. Located downtown, it can be combined with the Baroda Museum and Kirti Mandir for a half-day outing.
