Visitors can stroll through paths lined with cherry blossoms and rhododendrons or relax on the well-kept lawns. The park is particularly popular with families due to its extensive play area and a small zoo, though the animal collection is modest.

Lady Hydari Park is widely regarded as a pleasant and affordable destination for families visiting Shillong. With a 4.1-star rating, reviewers frequently praise the well-maintained gardens and the variety of plants, including cherry blossoms and rhododendrons. Parents highlight the park as being exceptionally kid-friendly, noting the swings and play areas that keep children entertained. While the mini zoo is mentioned, some recent visitors noted a lack of animals, suggesting the focus has shifted more toward the botanical and museum aspects. The on-site museum is often cited as an educational bonus, featuring interesting exhibits like python skins and rhino skulls. However, a common point of criticism is the cleanliness of the restroom facilities, which some feel need better maintenance given the entry fee. Overall, it remains a recommended spot for a casual evening stroll or a weekend picnic.
