- Yogesh PLondon, UK13 contributionsEXCELLENT DAY AT THE TEMPLE WITH RELAXED TOURING OF THE COMPLEX.
HAD LUNCH AT THE FOOD COURT, GOOD FOOD AND CHEAP PRICES.Written March 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Pawan Singh RajpurohitBikaner, India23 contributionsLodi Garden, located on Lodi Road between Safdurjung’s Tomb and Khan Market in south Delhi, covers an area of 90 acres and is dotted with beautiful monuments and tombs, belonging to the Sayyid, Lodi and Mughal dynasties.With its undulating walking paths and jogging tracks fringed with ancient trees, colorful shrubs and flowering plants, the garden’s historical past is evidence of how the city’s present encompasses within itself a rich past.
Till 1931, these tombs, mosques and other structures stood in what was then called the village of Khairpur, on the outskirts of New Delhi. In 1936, the villagers were moved from Khairpur and a garden was laid out with native and exotic trees and plants around the monuments. It was then called Lady Willingdon Park, after the wife of the then British Viceroy. Post-Independence, it was more appropriately renamed Lodi Garden and was redesigned in 1968, by J.A. Stein, an eminent architect, who was also involved with many other buildings around the Lodi Garden complex. Some of the buildings are protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and others by the State Department of Archaeology, Delhi.Written March 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suchig06New Delhi, India592 contributionsOne of the best childhood memories with all cousins and elders were created here. Simple park, safe and clean, ample swings and very good walk ways. A water pool stretching within the park used to have water and a dummy crocodile (till 1995). The aquarium zone has been fun and that can be made better - add a voice feature to learn about stored fishes. May be put some mechanical puppets, clowns, traditional (life-size) dolls, folks etc. People can pose with them and take photos.
Appu Ghar used to have a clown which used to laugh and move after we dropped in a coin. something like this!
I hope the authorities never make it a contemporary westernized unsafe park in the name of modernization.
The park is walking distance from India Gate and has easy access.
Old park culture symbolizes the purest love and affection we had as kids towards fellow kids and animals in the parks around us.Written February 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are multiple 1) Mother Dairy tea and snacks outlet, 2) drinking water outlets, & 3) washrooms for the visitors. If you come here I will recommend to have time for Purana Qila and National Crafts Museum. You will need entire day to cover these 3 places.Written December 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- skagarwal74Bhopal, India1,385 contributionsGarden of five senses near Saket metro station is small garden with lots of scattered stuff inside. You have lots of food stalls though many overpriced.
There are some architectural displays. There are some good colourful flowers and plantation.
Mostly the garden is visited by couples.
We visited the garden on Saturday afternoon and luckily could witness a small program from Delhi police Dog squad which was a plus for us.
The ticket charged is 50 per head.Written March 10, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I think more than the staff appointed for this work, people who visit such places should be responsible for taking care of cleanliness. So, my request to those who visit any such place is: don't litter, respect nature, and keep clean.Written December 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,850 contributionsUnlike more formal parks (even the not-too-far off Nehru Park among them), Buddha Jayanti Park is a cross between the wild and the tamed. It is located in part of what is known as the Central Ridge of the Delhi Ridge, and while the more intrepid of Delhi’s naturalists would do best to wander right off the roads and into the forested scrub, for those of us who are less adventurous but would like to experience at least some of the Ridge, this is a good place to start.
Buddha Jayanti Park, of course, draws its name from the Buddha, and so there is some presence of the Buddha and his teachings. Every now and then, there are stone slabs with excerpts from his teachings inscribed on them, and close to Gate No. 1, there is even a large gilded Buddha statue in a pavilion. Unfortunately, in an attempt to protect this, the authorities have surrounded it on all sides with clear plastic, which robs it of its beauty.
My husband, daughter and I visited on a monsoon afternoon. It was not raining, but it was quite humid, so perhaps that was why there were very few people around: we pretty much wandered where we liked after we’d parked in the (paid) parking lot inside Gate 1. Paths make their way all through the park, and there are lots of trees, both endemic as well as exotic: fried egg tree, plumeria, amaltas, sicklebush, gaub persimmon, dhak (palash or flame of the forest), gulmohar, peepal, agave, several species of cactus (in a separate cactus patch), several species of palm (in a palm grove) and so on. For a tree lover, this is a very rewarding place.
It’s also worth visiting if you love nature in general: there are plenty of birds around (in the brief while we spent here here, we saw lapwings, kingfishers, barbets, parakeets, and more), and the very fact that you can get right in amongst the trees makes it an adventure.
No entry fee is charged. There are benches and some scattered dustbins. Just inside Gate 1 is an ice cream cart (the vendor informed us that further on, near Gate 2, there’s also a restaurant, but we didn’t confirm this, since we didn’t go that far).Written August 31, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Parking available and road side eating stalls sells local flavors.Written February 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,850 contributionsSpread across nearly 800 acres near Vasant Kunj, Sanjay Van is a green, raw stretch of forest. Dirt paths, most of them several feet wide and well-maintained, snake across the forest. You can walk here, or cycle through: no motorized transport is allowed. Even the golf-cart style vehicles used by the local forest officers to move around the forest are eco-friendly.
We spent almost two hours here, walking between the trees, birdwatching (we saw and heard lots of species, including barbets, babblers, peafowl, woodpeckers, and lots of butterflies and other insects. The butterflies, especially, were worth it all.
Sanjay Van is really large, so you could spend the entire day here and still not see all of it. But even a couple of hours here is a good respite from the bustle and din of the city outside. Note that since this is a reserve forest and not your typical city park, there are no facilities for food and drink inside (though there are toilets near the gate). Bring your own packed food and bottled water, and remember to use the dustbins provided here and there to dispose of any waste.Written November 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
