Traveling from Dallas to Mumbai offers more than just bustling beaches and Bollywood glitz. If you’re looking for a tranquil, family-friendly outing in the heart of the city, make sure to explore Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan and Zoo, commonly known as Byculla Zoo.

Founded in 1861, this is one of the oldest zoos in India. Originally named Victoria Gardens, the zoo is spread across 50 acres and includes a stunning botanical garden. In recent years, it underwent a major revamp, and today it's famous for being the only zoo in India to house Humboldt Penguins, which arrived from Seoul, South Korea, and have quickly become a major attraction.

The zoo is home to a wide variety of animals such as leopards, swamp deer, elephants, hyenas, and crocodiles. It also features a butterfly garden, aviary, and specially designed enclosures for better viewing. Kids and nature lovers particularly enjoy the flora-filled landscape, which includes hundreds of species of trees, medicinal plants, and flowering shrubs.

Byculla Zoo also focuses on wildlife awareness and conservation, regularly hosting exhibitions and educational tours for school children and tourists alike. It’s not just a zoo—it’s a peaceful green lung in the middle of a bustling metropolis.

The zoo is easily accessible via public transport and is close to other popular Mumbai attractions like Bhau Daji Lad Museum and Marine Drive, making it perfect for a half-day trip.
