class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rani Baug has an interesting history, which goes way back to 1835 when the British government offered land at Sewri for developing the botanical garden. It is to be noted that the name of the gardens was then Victoria Gardens in honor of Queen Victoria. Later, since Sewri was acquired for burying grounds, a garden was developed at Mount Estate in Mazgaon, which came to be popularly known as Byculla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1861, all the flora at Sewri was moved to the new site, and the gardens were opened to the general public for the first time on November 19, 1862, by Lady Catherine Frere. The Bombay Municipal Corporation took charge of maintenance of the garden in 1866 and assumed full administrative control once the Agri-Horticultural Society got dissolved in 1873.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A zoological area was added to the gardens in 1890, and finally in 1969, the Victoria Gardens got a new name as well, i.e., &#8216;Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan&#8217; in honor of Jijabai, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rani_Baug_Founder_and_Establishment\"><\/span>Rani Baug Founder and Establishment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name<\/strong>: Victoria Gardens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Establishment<\/strong>: 1861<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening to Public<\/strong>: 1862<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inauguration:<\/strong> By Lady Catherine Frere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Donation of Land:<\/strong> By David Sassoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managed by:<\/strong> Agri-Horticultural Society of Western India (1862\u20131873), later BMC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Renamed:<\/strong> 1969 as Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden was created to provide a public recreational and botanical space for Mumbai residents while also promoting horticulture and wildlife conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rani_Baug_Timings\"><\/span>Rani Baug Timings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Day<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Opening Time<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Closing Time<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Thursday \u2013 Tuesday<\/td><td>9:00 AM<\/td><td>5:30 PM \u2013 6:00 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wednesday<\/td><td>Closed<\/td><td>Closed<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is preferable to visit the zoo in the morning hours from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM as animals will be more active during that time and the climate will be favorable too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rani_Baug_Location_and_Address\"><\/span>Rani Baug Location and Address <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Address<\/strong>: Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan &amp; Zoo, Byculla East, Mumbai, Maharashtra \u2013 400027<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landmarks near Rani Baug Zoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Byculla Railway Station &#8211; Approximately 1 km from the zoo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Close to Lalbaug Flyover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_Map_for_Rani_Baug\"><\/span>Location Map for Rani Baug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m16!1m12!1m3!1d3772.948951969629!2d72.83455163240434!3d18.97786174253266!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!2m1!1sVeermata%20Jijabai%20Bhosale%20Udyan%20%26%20Zoo%2C%20Byculla%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20%E2%80%93%20400027!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sin!4v1779860615594!5m2!1sen!2sin\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rani_Baug_Ticket_Price_and_Entry_Details\"><\/span>Rani Baug Ticket Price and Entry Details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Visitor Category<\/th><th>Entry Fee<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Adults (12\u201359 years)<\/td><td>\u20b950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Children (3\u201312 years)<\/td><td>\u20b925<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Foreign Tourists<\/td><td>\u20b9300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Senior Citizens<\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Physically Challenged Visitors<\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Family of 4<\/td><td>\u20b9100<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The penguin enclosure falls under the general admission charge.
