Zoological Garden, Alipore

This is a place to be for Young & Old. Especially for the toddlers. Every parent makes it a point to take their kids to the zoological garden. This is not only just a place but one of the oldest in India. Even Sri Ramakrishna visited here in 1888 to see the Lion.
The zoo is much well maintained than the last time I visited, which is probably quarter of a century ago. The fauna looks well fed and at peace. We were able to see most of the species barring the Hayenas and the King of the Jungle.
Plastic is completely banned inside the park, so take note of this before entering. I could not find any food joint inside so it is better to carry your refreshments as there is plenty of space to sit & relax.
The adopt a wild child concept is novel and inspiring. Many have already taken part in this venture and more will follow.
Ticket prices have increased from Nov 1, thus making adult entry Rupees 50 and Child below 5 entry Rupees 20.
Absolutely loved the experience. Hopefully won't wait another quarter of a century to return.
