Located in the middle of Martyr's Memorial and Bada Imambara, Gautam Buddha Park is perfect for a family outing. The garden was founded in the year 1980 to honour the life of the Buddha, who had spent a considerable time of his life in the city. According to folklore, Lucknow was previously known as Nucklow, which means the nails of Gautam Buddha. With several children's rides, lush parks and paddle boats, Gautam Buddha Park is a must visit for travellers visiting Lucknow.
