There is also a small park near the eastern end of the lake that has a toy train and swings for children.

The garden was established in 1848 by the architect William Graham Mclvor. Dotted with colourful flower beds, ponds with lilies and a variety of medicinal plants and ferns, this botanical garden is laid out in Italian style. One occasion, wherein the garden attracts a large number of tourists is the Flower Show, which is held every year in the month of May. Flower Rangoli, Bonsai, Vegetable carving and Japanese flower arrangements are the major attractions of the Flower Show. Botanical Garden is also famous for Toda Hill or Toda Mund that gives tourists an insight into the original tribes of Ooty called as Todas.

Other famous attractions of the hill town are Stone House and the UNESCO-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Many Ooty hotels are situated close to these points of interests in order to provide easy accessibility.
