The Ayub National Park is a such a huge park with so many options/activities. Calm spots for peace lovers and fun/training activities for your kids. It had Scary House, Zoo, play grounds, different Children Swings and other gadgets. Kids really enjoyed visiting the Zoo and saw many Animals at one place. Wonderful place for families with young children or adults looking for a place to walk and relax. It has a nice zoo with lions and tigers and many other exotic animals. Lots of rides for kids. The eating options are not very fancy but you can get snacks and hot and cold drinks. A new theme park has been built with a giant Ferris wheel and many new rides. Step out of Islamabad and enjoy the new Rawalpindi. The park also carries historical significance as it was inaugurated by the then President of Pakistan in the years of 90s.
