Nicco Park is unique for its River Cave Ride over 600-700 feet, depicting the Jurassic age to the space age with lifesized animated figures controlled by sophisticated computer systems and synchronised sound and lights. The toy train traversing the entire park is an added attraction, as is the Food Park. The proposed six-lane bowling alley, adjacent to the park, promises to be a huge draw. Nicco Park is well connected with the city through its own bus service. It is a much-favoured picnic spot during winter, when it welcomes a multitude of emigrant birds.
Entry is by ticket.
Directly across the main zoo is an aquarium with a variety of aquatic creatures from around the world. Now a museum, the palace is a treasure house of precious objects d'art, including a collection of statues and original paintings of Rubens and Sir Joshua Reynolds, among others. A massive and impregnable British citadel built in 1773, it was named after Kind William III and can accommodate a garrison of 10,000 men. It is the military headquarters of the Eastern Command, located on the Maidan, adjacent to Red Road. The fort is still in use and retains its grandeur.
