Indira Gandhi Zoological Park

The zoo is just OK. We have selected a wrong time to visit. Fully sunny day. More than half of the animals are not in the display. Also, there are very few species compared to other zoological parks like Hyderabad and Chennai. There are lions, bear, tiger, giraffe, zebra, chimps, rhino, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, ostrich, emu and some other species. The crocodile enclosure is somewhat far away from the main path. If you have seen other zoos especially Hyderabad, it is not worth the effort. The worst thing in this park are the battery car. We asked at the entrance and the guy simply said, it will take 1hr 20 min for the car to come. We asked for a battery car because it was a sunny day and waiting for that long will make it even worse. Plus point, our own 4 wheelers will be allowed inside after paying a hefty price of rs. 750. Bicycles are also available. The other worse thing is there is no proper drinking water facility inside the park. There are only 2 canteens. We can see ice cream sellers everywhere but no proper drinking water. Whoever is visiting this park, I strongly suggest don't plan to visit on a sunny day and always carry enough drinking water with you.

Good place but it could be better, I'm Giving it 3 star for It's Natural scenery and it is situated between the eastern ghats. But only few animals are there to watch and most of the places are vacant and Under Maintenance. Good Place for Locals but if you're a tourist I'm not recommending you to visit this,also they charge 50/- for Adults and 40/- for Children over age 5.

NB -It is closed on every Monday.

A very good place to visit with family and friends. One can bring their own car or use a battery(on rent) car or even a bicycle (which is available on rent) for traveling within the zoo park. Young kids will definitely have a lot of fun and learn by physically observing animals and birds. We did not see was our National Bird Peacock ???? .
