One of the Very Interesting & refreshing Natural environment in Bangladesh, I recommend to visit with family & kids specially, once in lifetime to view wild animals & their behavior rather than book pictures or videos in YouTube.Exceptionally I was very disappointed for the dirtiness inside the cages, zoo caretakers & management should look after on it seriously.Ticket price: 50 taka.Time: 9am-6pm.Day: 6 days a week, Sunday off.Food court: not hygienic, better to take foods from outside or home cooked.Parking: available outside, but not safe.b

One of the oldest zoo and yet full of natural resources such as trees, lakes, and wide varieties of wild animals. Its been well maintained by authority. The worst side is to mention, tourist throwing there wastes everywhere and irritating animals by throwing stones, poking with sticks. I would like to humbly request to all people who are or will be visiting this place, DO NOT LITTER/THROW YOUR WASTE EVERYWHERE EXCEPT DUSBINS and DO NOT DISTURB WILD ANIMALS. We are all humans and we should behave like humans. 🙏

Dhaka Zoo, is a Zoo located in the Mirpur section of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. The Zoo contains many native and non-native animals and wild life, and hosts about three million visitors each year. A visit to Dhaka Zoo is not only entertaining, but educational too, as visitors get to know more about animals found in Bangladesh, as well as animals from other parts of the world.

It is the national zoo of Bangladesh. There, almost all species of animals are available. The size of the zoo is quite large. It will take at least 3 to 4 hours to visit the entire zoo. So, I am advising you to bring enough time on your hand. And yes, the zoo closes at 6 p.m. So it is really good to visit in the morning or if you are visiting in the afternoon, you have to come around 3 pm.

A great place to pass a day with your family. But as a national zoo its not up to the mark. Most of the case are blank or only contain one or two animals. Childrens play area does have a very few items to play with. Authority should consider these.

The necessity for establishment of Zoological garden and Botanical Gardens in the erstwhile province of East Pakistan was felt at the very inception of Pakistan in the year 1947 as there was no such garden in the province. This was receiving attention of the Government science 1947. In 1947 dire necessity of establishing a state owned zoological garden was felt. A zoo park was being started at High court premises of Dhaka with a limited number of spotted deer, monkeys and few other species of animals. A master plan was approved with a view to establish a zoological garden at Mirpur in 1960.An advisory board was constituted for establishment and proper management of zoo next year. The zoo was opened on June 23, 1974 after necessary construction and procurement of animals from home and abroad. Till then it has been gradually grown into a beautiful and attractive zoological garden exhibiting animals in natural settings using modern method of keeping.In February 05th, 2015 has been changed the name of Dhaka Zoo as Bangladesh National Zoo.

Few days back I have visited this Zoo. Absolutely this is the largest zoo and I think this is a perfect place to take refreshment. Many species of birds and animals are collected here. But as a National Zoo its expected to keep more species than now. And see some parts are corrupted and hope authority should repair soon. Among all, I fascinated to see the Macaw parrot also environment of the Lake was so pretty to capture thyself.

The biggest zoo of our country. It is a popular destination among the people of all ages, specially kids. It covers very large area including lake. The living condition of the animals here is not up to the required standard though. Unfortunately like most of the places in our country, despite having huge potential this place is not up to the mark. With a better care and maintenance this place can become one of the best zoo in AsiaDhaka Zoo:Visited with family. Its huge and it will take lots of time to visit the whole area.There are lots of open spaces and nice atmosphere.The management need to keep the place more clean.Surprises: Dhaka zoo have lots of animal. I seen first time lots of DEER.Advise:Visit Zoo in the morning. Keep water and food with you. Try to leave the place before 5 PM.

Its the biggest zoo in Bangladesh. Located in Mirpur area in Dhaka. There are a huge variety of animals, birds and snakes. The agreement of animal shades can be more organized. Beside some shades are not well lighted and fences are too congusted to see the animals inside.

Excellent place for outing. The authorities should consider the space gaps. Its too difficult for the babies and kids to cover all the areas specifically all the animals through walking. Directions towards all the animals should be mentioned at the entrance.

First of all we were thinking that the zoo will be dirty and was not sure about the place as we went there approx 8 or 9 years ago. But surprisingly it was quite worth it to pay a visit. Tho somewhere it stinks for not cleaning the animals but Overall we enjoyed there. Many animals were bought up and they were kept in a quite good place. Varieties of species were seen. Tie you sneakers and be ready to walk all the way to enjoy the beautiful animals.

Just a few days ago, I visited the national zoo,and I have to admit that it was an amazing place.But just a few things to notice that the amount of animals has decreased significantly during the lockdown last year.But to be truly honest, its still an amazing place to visit and go on for a picnic if people wants.

It is always a nice place to visit with kids and minors. Though development works are going on, still much more attention to be paid, specially for the cages of Lions, Tigers and Bears. It becomes difficult for the kids to see and enjoy the animals. The entrance fee per person has suddenly been increase to Taka 50 from Taka 30. Authority may rethink the matter.Above all, it’s a very good place in Bangladesh to visit.
