Essentially an extension of the park across Princes Avenue, are formal gardens divided up into sections, the principal one surrounding the 'canal.' There are extensive rose gardens and the gardens are especially picturesque in the colours of spring.
This is a must-do for children (and a pleasure for people of all ages). It is considered a 'menagerie', rather than a zoo. There are no lions or elephants here. Tropical World is organised into several zones within which exist ecosystems from around the planet: jungle, desert, underwater, nocturnal. There is an extensive collection of tropical fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and other types of animals to please the family, as well as some very cute lemurs and monkeys outside.
One of the largest urban parks in Europe. Huge picturesque park with 2 lakes, café, flower gardens and walks. It is next to Tropical World, and the lovely formal Canal Gardens: be sure to visit them all in one day.
