These two treasures are located next to the Raj Bhavan in the massive forest that leads up to IIT. The Snake Park is the first reptile park in the country and offers a chance to see snakes and crocodiles up close and safely, while also teaching you about them. The Guindy National Park which shares the compound with the Snake Park, is part zoo, part wildlife sanctuary, part park! There are elephants to see, monkeys to chase and deer to spot (black bucks are there too, for you wildlife enthusiasts). The best part is that tickets to both places will cost you a maximum of INR 50.
