Something different!!
A cactarium or cactuario is a garden dedicated to the planting of cacti. While they generally specialize in collecting cacti, they can also include other desert plants such as sabla, agaves or Crassulaceae, although this would better be termed "xeriscaping"
It was nice experience to look at succulents in the park and have a outing, usually 2-3 hrs is sufficient for this garden.

Different varieties of cacti , it's a different type of garden, they could have maintained it a little better but nice place to visit in good weather and to click photos.
This garden brings together a huge variety of cactus which will leave you amazed. Also viewing flowers on cactus plants is something which changed one’s perceptions about the plant variety. The only issue here is that it is very far from other attractions and would recommend to go using a booked cab or auto for the to and fro transportation to avoid spending a lot of time waiting for a bus.
Good place to spend time with family and if you are cactus lover then its a hub.

Very interesting collection of cacti. People and kids of all age group will enjoy if they wish to see variety of cactus and succulents. Some plants were extremely rare. The ticket is only 10 rupees but the park is well maintained. Also, town park is just next door. The glass rooms can be maintained in a better way. This garden has so much potential to become more attractive for the visitors.
