Popularly known as JK Temple
Wonderful piece of architecture and art and you must see this monument if you visit Kanpur. The Temple has statues of Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, Lord Hanuman, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Rama. The illuminated towers of the temple can be seen from quite a distance at night. On Sundays, it is usually very crowded at summers as people try to get some relief from the high temperatures in the greenery and openness of the temple premises.

Biggest park in Kanpur City. This is the second best zoo in UP and third biggest zoo in India. Greenery and vastness of the zoo will capture any visitors attention. The natural surroundings in which animals are kept is a nice change from the caged variety that you see around other zoos.
