Within the garden, at a short walk away through rose plants and open parks, a zoo is situated.Constructed by Maharana Fateh Singh, Saraswati Bhawan Library is also located within the precincts of the garden. Books related to history, archaeology, ideology and several manuscripts that date back to the early mediaeval period are housed in the library.
