What travellers are saying
- perky88Wolverhampton, UK270 contributionsIt was ok - nothing special
If part of a tour then ok but not worth a special trip to see it
The “hanging” but it literally a few bushes in a man made overhang

- svati_onthemoveMumbai, India59 contributionsQuite an oasis given how much of a concrete jungle Mumbai is. May not compare that favourably with gardens in other cities that have more space, but certainly not to be scoffed at.

- Shalu sharmaMumbai, India635 contributionsVisiting Hamleys Wonderland at Jio Garden with my kids was an unforgettable experience! The vibrant setup, exciting activities, and kid-friendly attractions made it a perfect day out for the family. My children loved exploring the creative play zones, and the attention to detail in every corner added to the magical vibe. Highly recommended for parents looking for a fun-filled outing with their little ones!Written 21 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AcinetoAuckland Central, New Zealand23,879 contributionsThe garden is located across the road from the Asiatic Society building. I thought it was weird that there was only one entrance to the garden. It was under construction so all the other gates were closed off they were rebuilding parts of the garden.
There were a few stalls outside the garden entrance and there was a public bathroom just inside the main gate. The garden is well maintained and i really enjoyed walking around it. there were quite a few shaded seating areas as well as exercise areas around it. There is a fountain in the middle but that was currently under construction so it was broken up.
Once it's been remodelled I would probably give it a 5 star but since it was still being redone it was missing some calmness and beauty.Written 16 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TaraKapurMumbai, India693 contributionsBNAC review
The Bhavan’s Nature and Adventure Centre is a “hidden gem” tucked into the Bhavan’s College campus
Open to the public on Sunday and to school groups on weekdays by prior appointment.
There are several sections which not only held our students (from NGO Angel Xpress Foundation) in thrall but also our adult volunteers. Visitors are taken around by volunteers who are knowledgeable and obviously enjoy what they do.
In addition, they’re well organised so students are taken around by volunteers in small groups.
First we went to the animal rescue section. After a short engaging talk, we were shown a duck (how it differs from goose, migration etc), Guinea pig (different from porcupine), rabbit (different from hare) and hedgehog (different from Porcupine), a Saint Barnard and a walk around to see geese, rabbits, turtles, tortoise, many species of colourful birds and huge Burmese pythons. Students got to see and in some cases, touch them animals.
Then the nature trail where we were shown many varieties of trees including the silk cotton and Kailash. Also why butterflies are important and specimens of a variety of (dead) butterflies and moths.
Followed by the Zipline (big favourite), walk through a tunnel, archery and commando net.
I loved that there was drinking water at several places, so our students could refill their bottles.
The washroom was clean.
We spent a little about 3 hours there which included Pre-ordered hot lunch before we returned.
Strongly recommended for a fun educational visit.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I usually travel for 50ish km to get this kind of a peaceful environment.
Not crowded like sea face or Marine lines, with the same beauty.Written 2 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Recently there were some positive news items about the zoo so I decided to come by this morning at least for a quick stroll as at least the seasonal flowering trees would be in bloom. They were!
The renovation work is still in progress, however quite a few animal enclosures are up and running though it is very sad to see the poor creatures serving life imprisonment for no fault of theirs whatsoever..... I really wish that even if animals have to be held in captivity they could at least be in a safari style huge space such as at the SGNP at Borivili. The two new leopards at the zoo are in a miserably small enclosure. The aviary has been made better undoubtedly but the height is way too low for the birds that are imprisoned within. The hapless poor Great Hornbill who is quite old now, looks like he is waiting to pass on .. to the great freedom up above and I pray he goes peacefully and soon. A tiger is in the quarantine section, soon to be imprisoned in his own enclosure, poor chap. Having said that, I admit that the kids at the zoo were quite happy to see the animals.
The trees are still beautiful though many rare specimens have been cordoned off during the repair works. Right now the Amherstia nobilis and Saraca indica are in full bloom.
The previously open lawn spaces have been nicely landscaped but unfortunately are mostly fenced in so people cant enjoy within. What is the purpose of having a large beautiful public garden if people cant relax and sit in the grassy spaces?
A welcome addition is a natural open butterfly garden created by planting butterfly host and nectar wild plants, which are indeed attracting a fair number of butterflies.
The renovation work should be complete by this time next year so those wanting a "Zoo" experience would be better waiting.
Its free for over 60's, Rs 100 for a family ticket, Rs 50 for adults and Rs 100 for a non-phone camera.
Not worth the visit if you are a tourist. For locals, depends on your preference.Written 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Named after a freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, this garden is surrounded by Banyan & Peepal trees. It has amenities like a playground, skating rink, an amphitheater, walking track, library, gazebos etc. There is a lake within the garden having a statue of the freedom fighter in the middle of it. Boating can done on this lake. This garden gets crowded during the evening hours. The entry fee is Rs. 2 per person. Had taken a stroll around the garden and admired the beautiful lake.
This garden is an ideal place for families, couples as well as senior citizens. It is a must visit and should not be missed.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Previously it was known as Kings Circle but has a new name for a quite long time. I know this place since my college was situated in the same vicinity.

- keith hChesham, UK1,168 contributionsI dropped in to Cross Maidan Garden a few times during my week in Mumbai. It is very centrally sited being on busy M. G. Road yet always seems quite peaceful & it is certainly greener than Oval & Azad Maidans.
Perfect place to take a short " breather " whilst exploring South Mumbai.
The first thing you will notice is the white , steel Charka ( Spinning Wheel ) . It stands 30ft tall & was created to mark 60 years of Indian Independence & indicate a modern , progressive , inclusive nation.
There are beds of lush ferns , shady borders & a green lawn expanse with places to sit - although many elect to sit on the lawns.
Never seems to get that busy. There is a children's playground.
Once I visited on a morning after overnight rain & found quite a few egrets patrolling the lawns. Maybe the dampness had brought out some natural food for them.Written 31 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The garden entrance is very close to the beach. The entrance is gated, but it was open, so I went inside to have a look. The interior of the garden was quite lovely. Nice paths and a fairly large grassy area near the back. It was also quite shaded so it was cooler than on the beach. It did feel like a place you could hire for a party rather than a public garden to hang around in.Written 20 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
