The exterior is adorned with decorative arches, columns, and intricate carvings, reflecting the Victorian era's love for ornate design.

The park, which opened in 1835, was home to a variety of exotic animals, including lions, tigers, and elephants, brought from all corners of the globe. The zoo, which opened in 1828, was a pioneering institution, dedicated to scientific research and the study of animal behavior.
