Great initiative. The Bal Vatika and Babbling Brook sound perfect for kids. My only suggestion is to increase the frequency of shuttle buses on weekends, as the queues can get very long. Otherwise, excellent facilities.

It's good that they are keeping it open for such a long period. The name change from Mughal Garden to Amrit Udyan reflects our own heritage better. Jai Hind!

As a tourist visiting India in March, this is perfectly timed! I've heard so much about these gardens. The online booking system in English is very helpful for international visitors. Looking forward to it.

While I appreciate the free entry and the effort, I hope the maintenance is top-notch. Last time I went, some areas looked a bit neglected. Public spaces of such national importance should be impeccably maintained. Fingers crossed for this season.

The details about the 225-year-old Sheesham tree and the Nature's classroom are fascinating. It's not just a garden visit, it's an educational experience for children. More such initiatives are needed across the country.
