The NTR Gardens was developed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2002 on a large plot of land near Hussain Sagar lake. It was created in memory of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, a legendary film actor, director, producer, and politician who served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for seven years over three terms. The park stands as a tribute to his legacy and a gift to the people of the state.

Real experiences from real travelers
NTR Gardens is a must-visit in Hyderabad, especially if you have kids. The park is clean, very well-maintained, and the toy train ride was the highlight for my son. It's a perfect place to spend a relaxing evening away from the traffic and noise. Highly recommended.
We spent a few hours here to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. It's a beautiful, peaceful park with some lovely photo spots, especially the Japanese garden. It gets quite crowded in the evenings, so go a bit earlier if you prefer quiet. Booking entry was easy online.
Took my two young kids and they had an absolute blast. The toy train is great value and gives a nice tour of the whole place. There are plenty of open spaces for them to run around. It felt safe and was very clean. A great find in a bustling city.
The evening fountain show was the best part of our visit. The lights and music were very impressive. The park itself is a pleasant place for a walk. It's a popular spot for local families, which gives it a nice, authentic atmosphere. Good way to spend an evening.
I wasn't sure what to expect but was thoroughly impressed by NTR Gardens. It's a massive, beautiful space. The variety of plants, the creative topiary, and the water features are all top-notch. I especially enjoyed the Machan tree-top restaurant for a quick coffee with a view.
After visiting historical sites, NTR gardens was a refreshing change of pace. It's not a 'must-see' historical landmark, but it's a 'must-do' for relaxation. The cleanliness is commendable. The entry fee is very reasonable for the experience provided.
As a photographer, I loved this place. The Japanese garden and the floral clock were fantastic subjects. I went on a weekday morning and it was very peaceful. If you're looking for a quiet corner in Hyderabad to relax and take some photos, this is it.
One of the best city parks I've visited in India. It's clear a lot of effort goes into maintaining it. The toy train isn't just for kids; it's a great way for anyone to get an overview. We combined our visit with a boat trip on Hussain Sagar lake next door, which made for a perfect day.
