Was definitely in for a pleasant surprise while visiting here after a very long time. This place has been transformed and now the enclosure provides a better viewing experience for public. The animal population in the zoo is still less and would be great if the this is looked into. Optimal timings for visiting would be 10-11:30am as you will be able to catch good glimpse of animals in their enclosure as at noon they are mostly inside their cages or sleeping in shades. We were there at noon so missed a few animals. Enclosure are still been renovated due to which few of them are closed including King of the Jungle the Lion's enclosure and Crocodile enclosure. Humboldt Penguin World since it began as usual has been the star attraction of this zoo. New penguins have been added and are kept under proper cooling and surveillance 24x7. Food court near the Penguin World is Good. Near and clean place with good foods at reasonable rate. Washrooms here are also kept hygienic. Aqua Birds enclosure is excellent and some nice birds in there. Birds paradise has few different species of parrots in there. The ticket prices are very reasonable Rs. 50 for Adults, Rs. 25 for children and they have a family ticket for Rs. 100 (Parents and 2 kids). We had been there on a weekday and still there was a decent amount of crowd visiting the zoo so I believe that it will be much crowded on weekends.
Overall it was a delightful experience for us.

Amazing Experience we visited the zoo after a long time and I must say the zoo has changed a lot. Now their are many places for the senior citizens to sit, all the cages are renovated, the animals are active and happy. The entry Fees is just Rs 50 for an adult. Best time to visit zoo is after 11 on weekdays . On weekends the zoo is full of people . Seeing Penguins ????was very good. It is a very nice place to spent your day with your family and friends.
