The Glass House in the Lalbagh Botanical Garden is one of its
primary attractions. Modelled after the Crystal Palace in
London, this Glasshouse is a huge structure made of glass
and iron which houses some of the rarer species of plants.

glasshouse- once in January and another time in August-
where guests are welcome to come and witness some of the
most beautiful flowers and plants from all over the world.

Geological Survey of India. A small placard outlining
information about the rock claims that it is over 3000 million
years old, making it one of the oldest rocks in the whole
world.

Dwarfs, making it an interesting place for both adults and children to
relax
4. Lalbagh Lake
Lalbagh Lake is a natural lake located just alongside the garden whose
presence allowed the construction of the garden in the first place.

ideal place to relax, despite being in the heart of the city

near Siddapura Circle and one can enter this gate and
enjoy the sylvan atmosphere of the garden.
