Mirpur Zoo
Colourful and attractive collections of different local and foreign species of animals and birds, including the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger. Elephant and horse riding is available for a very cheap Tk 5 and Tk 3 respectively.
Covering of land at Mirpur, the Gardens are a haven of peace in the chaos of the city. It is next to the zoo, so both can be visited in one trip.
