Sayaji Baug (the famous park) is situated on river Vishwamitri and was built by
Sayajirao III in 1879. Sprawling over 113 acres,
it also includes an excellent zoo, the Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery, the Museum of Health and Hygiene and the Sardar Patel Planetarium. A major attraction for children is the 3.5 kms joy ride through the park on the joy train.
