Beautiful place. They have many exotic birds and other wild animals. The mighty royal bengal tiger is the main attraction of the garden.However dont go in the afternoon as most of the animals spend the time sleeping in their caves, specially in the reptile house almost all of the snakes were sleeping in the bushes which makes them really hard to spot.

As we all know that this Zoological park is the biggest and largest all over India. Here u can find many varieties of birds especially Parrots, many carnivorous and herbivores too.. Its a much visit park for the family. You get clean and hygiene guarenteed visiting.. itll be fun to bring kids with you along with out families and not to forget the safety measures provided on each and every board of the park..

Zoo! A best place for kids. But take full energy and go, lot to walk and visit.Opens @ 9 amU can take chips biscuits but take tiffin box.Dont carry plastic bag etc chips packet and all.Take water from home and big bag as food and water is not available except at the gate store.The inside store name is sisters kitchen. It sells water and cold drinks at same rate at outside.(20/- per water bottle -1L)Toilet is there so no worries, but dirty as water and mud all around.Rest go and enjoy😀

The zoological garden, Alipore is Indians oldest formally stated zoological park and a big tourist attraction in Kolkata, West Bengal. It has been open as a zoo since 1876. A really wonderful place for those who love nature, I love this place. Really awesome. Kids and adults alike can visit this place. In addition to animals and birds, there are many types of plants, This place is very nice for research. Various types of animals are found like big and beautiful peacocks, big snakes, elephants, tigers, different kinds of birds, different kinds of trees etc. 🥰🥰 personally I love nature thats why I love this place 🥀

A great zoo...should visit once. Atmosphere is so calm and pleasant, amidst the birds ,animals and trees. Area is big and well maintained.

One of the most renowned and beautiful place in Kolkata, I love this Zoological garden

Amazing experience at the zoo well maintained, must visit you could see all the animals, which you wish to see at your visit.

One of Asia’s biggest zoo. Great variety of animals lions, royal bengal tiger , arctic tigers. If you are a fan of reptiles definitely a place to see large crocodile alligator and have separate place for snakes ,great variety of birds. And you can definitely go for a picnic during the winters.

It was an amazing experience visiting the zoo but make sure to have ample of time of atleast 4 hours to visit it properly and taking selfies/photos

Well maintained clean place with a variety of species to see in one place. Great location and easily approachable by bus or taxi. Must visit for children as it has cute red pandas. The ticket prices are nominal and this place follows covid restrictions. Its is one of the tourist destinations in Kolkata and is well connected

A great place for children as well as adults. The upkeep of the place can be better. Life for the animals must be made more comfortable.Since it is a well frequented place, the authorities should strive to provide better amenities for the visitors.Another suggestion is to plant grass on the dusty plots so that it is not a problem for people to sit on the ground and to eat their spread.

Very good place here you see many kind of animals, birds and more . Visit all of family friends and enjoying...

Alipore Zoo is the oldest zoo of India. It is spread in huge area with countless trees and greenery. Its a popular attraction centre of tourists and children in Kolkata. The zoo houses many animals such as tiger, lion, jaguar, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, giraffe, ostriches, zebra, elephant. Different species of birds can be seen here. You can also see fishes, tortoise, alligator, snakes and various types of plants in this zoo.Awesome place to visit with family, friends and kids. It is so vast, cannot be covered at a time. Here you will get all the natural bliss. Must visit this lovely place with your kids in winter.Ticket price is very reasonable with required amenities for visitors. In November, 2016 I had visited 3rd time.

Though the place is much chaotic but I love the place and I love to visit once again its only because of the animals, birds and also for its greenery. but one problem that I do believe the lack of food for the animals specially for the meat eaters like Lion,Tiger,Cheetah etc.

I visited zoo after two years, no of speciess are becoming much less, snake house is absolutely empty handiest python turned into there, many species are missing. government ought to take initiative to deliver more species. some of animal lover like me can be more happier. I continually happy to look exclusive creatures. other than this the entirety is nicely maintained.

Feeling so great to visit,Indias oldest zoo in kolkata. Lots of Animal to see.Zoo area is so big thats why its take hours to complete. My favourite Royal Bengal Tiger is there,so happy to see him. there was so crowd always . Lots of people visit that zoo,daily. ticket price was really little. Really feel so good, everytime i visit here.

Always a great place to bring kids to a zoo amidst a city. Located at Alipore diagonally opp to National Library and in a very strategic place exactly on the main road. A good place for animal lovers and young children.

Had a good time there. Must go there with ur family on weekend. The animals were very much looking lively but at the time I visited few animals werent there. Otherwise it was great😀

Very good place for picnic, hangout, time pass.A good place for children and families.Tickets is just 30/- for whole day enjoyment.Also you can go to online alipore zoo website for E-TICK.Foods are available inside Zoo and you can also take foods from outside.Animals, birds, reptiles etc. are there.Plastic is completely prohibited here, dont use it.friends. Try to buy the ticket online as it will save the hassle of standing in long queues which would set you back by 15-20 minutes on a good day. The online ticket entry gate is just beside the main exit gate keep an eye for it as it is not prominently visible. Best time to visit the place is in winter when the weather is mellow. Tiger and lion enclosures and open air elephant and giraffe enclosures are a must watch. Food options inside the zoo is however limited so plan accordingly.Dont expect social distancing norms to be followed inside so its better to keep your mask on at all times and sanitize often to ensure your own safety.

Its my peace ☮️ .

Must visit this place and bring kids so they can learn more about animals , beautiful greenery in kolkata . Nocturnal animals , reptiles , aquarium has separate room please visit them also . In center of zoo there are some food stall and setting arrangement , you can also buy food and sit and eat , restroom and washroom available , washroom is clean and available in more places through the big zoo .

Animals needs to be treated well. The amount of food which they requires doesnt fulfilled thats why they look dull. The canals need to be filled for animal so that they get good amount of drinking water. Raise the price of ticket to 100 but atleast take a good care of animals as they cannot say a word for themselves😔😔

Alipore Zoological Garden happens to be the oldest zoological park in India(as formally stated), which houses a resplendent collection of varying species across the entire animal kingdom.Bring your kids, or your near ones, for a day-out, and it is assured that it will be a day spent well, with some memories to cherish as a prized possession.And if you are a visitor on tour in Kolkata, a walk-in to this place is a mandatory to make your trip worth it.Ticket prices are extremely nominal and you can buy it online as well, apart from the offline options from counter.Options are available to grab a few bites, inside the Zoo premises.BUT PLEASE NOTE: SMOKING & CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED INSIDE

Good place to gather knowledge on animals and spend time with close ones... But if you want to visit properly, dont come on occasions and grand holidays like 23rd, 26th Jan etc ...the place becomes too much crowded in such daysCutting one star as they didnt follow Covid regulations properly when I visited last time ... some volunteers should be present to monitor these...

Alipore Zoological Garden.The most important childhood MEMORABLE place.Its very good in terms of short outing, meeting with friends, family get together , picnic & winter outing as well as mind refreshment & hangout.The animals can also be adopted for one year after some paper work with zoo authorities.One humble request to everyone specially parents of the children that dont feed anything, I repeat ANYTHING to the animals as it is extremely harmful to their health and dont disturb the animals while doing their regular normal activities. Your such approach to entertain your children is extremely discouraged and it is punishable offence too.

Relationship between Man and Animal dates back to prehistoric era, and this relationship led to what we call today a ZOO. However in the present era zoo have changed from exhibitionisim, entertainment and amusement into research, education and ex-situ conservation specially to complement in-situ conservation. Kolkata Zoological Garden was established in Alipore of Kolkata on 24th September, 1875, when the citizens of Kolkata came forward with generosity. One of the 1st Indian donors were Raja Rajendra Mullick Bahadur. The first Indian superintendent of the zoo was Ram Brahma Sanyal, who made the zoo the pioneer among the existing zoos in 19th & earlier 20th century. The Central Zoo Authority of India developed in 1992, when the garden was modelled with the help of Govt. Of West Bengal. The other patrons without whose generous help the zoo would not have came this far as today were, Nawab Bahadur of Murshidabad, Maharaja Manindra Chandra Nandy, Carl Louis Schwendler, Mr. C.T.Buckland, Maharaja Bahadur Surya Kanta Acharya Chowdhury of Mymensing, Mr. Ellias Gubbay, Maharaja Sir Jotindra Mohan Tagore, Mr. David Ezra, Raja Rajendra Nath Mullick. The zoo covers an area of about 18.81 hectares. The visitor facilities available in zoo are Washrooms, Resting Sheds, Decorative Benches, Drinking Water. The garden is closed on Thursdays. The entry fee is Rs.30 for visitors above 5 years age and Rs.10 for visitors below 5 years age. Ticket counter opens at 9am and closes at 4:30pm.

Nice place to visit with family and friends.The beauty of nature & its creations will surely make you feel happy.

Good place to bring kids. I have visited the place recently, You can bring food in there. Lots of people go there for picnic. Best attraction is The Royal Bengal Tiger, also you can see lemurs, various kind of bird, white peacock, rhino.

India’s oldest zoological park , near national library , laid out on 45 Acres . One of the most famous picnic spot for family & huge crowded in weekends . You can carry your food here ( no plastic ) n spend entire day , you will get water - washrooms & snacks corner across the zoo.Known for attractive species like royal Bengal tiger, Asiatic lion, jaguar, hippopotamus, great Indian one-horned rhinoceros, reticulated giraffe Grants zebra, emu, and Indian elephant.You can see here so many birds species like large parrots -macaw species and some large flightless birds like the emu, cassowary and ostrich.Prefer to plan here for weekdays to get less crowd , need minimum 3-4 hours if you want to comfortably all species , can book online ticket to ignore rush at counter , parking is issue so prefer cabs or some pick and drop facility .Must visit place to visit with kids .

Indias oldest commercial Zoological garden..Opened to public since 1876...A must-visit place in Kolkata. This place improved a lot under the current Govt. Such a large area of greeny within a metropolis...wildlife abound. Babu the Chimpanzee is such a celebrity. Dont miss the archaic enclosures of lions and giraffes. Even you will find modern glass enclosures of tigers, leopards, jaguars, hyenas, kangaroos.Ticket price is just INR 30. Cant get much cheaper.Overall a great place to visit if you are thinking of a day-out with friends or families.The Reptile House, though, needs much improvement.Food - You will find food aplenty both inside and outside the campus. But not the perfect place for hygiene addicts.***Please dont tease the animals. This is the most horrible thing that people do inside there.

I had an amazing day here. Went with my family so the place was quite good and children friendly. Little childrens enjoy this place very much cause of the varieties of animal and birds. The place needs more security persons, so the people can follow the security rules, many were breaking the rules.

The zoo was formally opened in Alipore ans inaugurated on 1st January, 1876 by Edward VII. Its a good place to come with family or friends. You can bring food from home or there are several food shops. But the food of those shops are not at all good at taste and price is quite high. Environment is very good and a perfect place for small picnic. Ticket rate for adults is 30/-.

One of the best zoological parks in India.... All the animals and birds are very lively..... One can find lush greenery all around. Very clean and well maintained.Open from 9.30 am to 5 pm except Thursday and national holidays. One have to book online tickets to enter.

Visited in 2019 last. Its very well maintained. Now its not open for visitors I think.Edit(16/09/21): Now its open following Covid protocols

Beautiful place to visit on a sunday morning. Kids will enjoy a lot by looking at the animals. Cleanliness maintained quite well and a heartfelt request to all to not to litter the zoo. Many new things to learn about the animals from the boards set up in front of the cages.

Alipur zoological garden situated in Alipur Kolkata.

This is that place of Kolkata where I visited most. Alipore Zoological Garden is a beloved place for animal lovers( পশুপ্রেমী) and ideal place for children.Entry fee- 30/-Rs for an adult person10/-Rs age below 10The best time to visit this zoo is in winter.In winter festivals like Christmas, New year, this period zoo stays most crowded.If anybody want to avoid gathering can go other time.Various types of tiger especially Royal Bengal Tiger is a common attraction here.Elephants and Chimpanzee this two of this zoo always very playful and funny easy to watch them and their play.Zebras, Giraffes,Rhinos,Hippos,lions everything available here.There are bird sanctuary, every type of bird of india and also inherited birds can be seen here.On the other side, special houses for snakes and other reptiles(crocodile, takshak etc) available here.You can see big python too.Go and enjoy!!

Best place for variety of species

This place is best for animal lovers. There are so many animals like Tigers, Emu, giraffe, Lion, rhino, ostrich, gorilla, zebra, elephant, deer, nilgai, hippopotamus, bear etc. They also have reptile section and various species of birds. Definately its a great place to spend the whole day with family. Kids will go crazy. Good place for picnic, outside food is also allowed. Entry Fees- rs.30. Thursday closed.

It was an worth visit there..could see several birds, reptiles & animals and the area is also nicely maintained. Tigers, lion, bear, zibra, Ostrich, hippopotamus, rihnosorus, elephant, peafowl , various lizards, etc.. we were fortunate to get to see them. Only disappointment was couldnt find White Tiger which was one of the attractions that we were looking for as since childhood have heard about that..However it was a nice visiting there and other thoughts have been fulfilled... Good job guys, keep it up.. It was too much crowded on the Sunday we visited but still was able to see all these as it is built and well maintained in a huge area. Overall very happy visit... Thanks much !!

Very good place to hang out with family and kids. After renovation, the cleanliness has increased. There are different kinds of wild animals and birds. Kids will love it. The nocturnal house for snakes needs some maintenance though.

The world is a huge place to see. It consists of so many living organisms that it is impossible to see each and every one of them. Especially for human beings, who are fascinated very much by animals. For the same reasons, zoos were created so that humans can interact better with animals.In other words, a zoo is a facility that has animals, birds, and reptiles of all kinds. They are confined to space where they are given food and medical facilities. The government has given strict guidelines to maintain a zoo. This is done keeping in mind the animal’s safety. In addition, zoos are made breeding grounds for animals to protect their species.Benefits of ZooZoos were made to bring wildlife closer to humans. It gave humans a better and up-close view of them. This allows various researchers and scientists to note the behavioral pattern of the animals. It helps them in their studies and discover new things.In addition, zoos are a great source of entertainment for kids. They love visiting zoos and interacting with animals. This helps them learn practical knowledge about the animal. It also gives them exposure to wildlife and widens their knowledge.Furthermore, zoos give us easy access to rare animals. Had it not been for zoos, we would have never been able to see what some animals looked like. We enjoy their behavior and it also creates awareness about the extinction of the rare species.Similarly, zoos are a safe breeding ground for animals. They ensure the animal breeds so they never go extinct. This helps in creating a good balance. Moreover, the zoos ensure the animals get all the nutrition in their bodies to lead a healthy life. This is beneficial as the animal may not get guaranteed meals in the forests.

Awesome place to visit with family and friends, your wont even realize the passage of time, I spent nearly 3 hours and was unknown about it, there are literally so many animals, Birds and reptiles , and the ticket is just for 30 rupees per adultBut few of the animals were missing like rhino ,hippo white tiger and 2-3 idk why they werent there when their was their board ...

Very nice place to visit and photography.. Lots of attraction..

Every1 should go to the zoo once in a life time.Best place to amuse childrens, we go to this place every year.Entry pass rs 30 for adults & rs10 for below 5yrs.

I visited zoo after two years, no of speciess are becoming less, snake house is completely empty only python was there, many species are missing. Government should take initiative to bring more species. Some of animal lover like me will be more happier. I always happy to see different creatures. Apart from this everything is well maintained.

It was good....u can see as many animals at once...its full of greenary...i recommend to visit there in winters...

Good for local picnic. Dont go alone, it will be boring. Dont buy food inside it is not good at all. You can have coffee.

So many wild animals in a natural environment. Lots of enjoy. Must visit.

The zoo experience is awesome since from childhood ❤️If you wanna experience more, try to visit during weekdays and try to avoid weekends.Carry your own food are you are going to make hole in your pocket, the food charges inside is very costly and its not worth it.Entry charges is Rs30 for adult and free for children below age 5.Must visit during winter ❄️

Excellent!Visited with family. Enjoyed through out.A complete family entertainment in less than a price of a cone ice-cream😊.Oldest zoo of India. Keep a map of zoo, it will be handy. Preferably bring your food from home. Do not disturb animals and do not throw food and packets here and there.

The place is all over awesome .There are facilities like drinking water but only plastic wrappers are not allowed inside the zoo. It is also forbidden to throw food to the animals.There are many lovely birds and animal species inside the zoo. There were many tigers in the scattered regions of the zoo.The atmosphere is good but during the Christmas holidays it was overcrowded.

It is far better than before, however directions could have been updated. I would definitely recommend this place for kids as they will be enjoying the most.👍👍👍

THE MOST FAVORITE PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN! ALIPORE ZOO IS TIMELESS FOR GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS TO COME! ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT GREEN SPOT IN THE HEART OF KOLKATA! IT IS DEVELOPING AND BE COMING CLEANER. PLASTIC BAGS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU CAN USE PAPER AND CLOTHES BAG. ON 25TH DECEMBER AND 1ST JANUARY IT IS FULL PACKED SO TRY TO GO ON OTHER DAYS. 🚗 CAR PARKING IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAIN GATE RS 150 FOR 9AM TO 6 PM. INSIDE THE ZOO LITE FOOD, TEA COFFEE ARE AVAILABLE.

Animals can be seen displaying their best behaviour, when observed in silence.. not by hooting at them.. The authority should try to control that. And perhaps attempt of making it more publicly educational under guidance of wildlife biologists would be a huge benefit I believe.Most of the animals seemed to be in good condition.

This is a good place to take your children for an outing.. they will enjoy the view and the animals . It is a crowded place so try to avoid going on holidays.. Thursdays the zoo remains shut so plan accordingly.. its a vast area and will have to walk a lot to cover everything so be prepared. Carry your own food especially for children as inside you will get only junk food with very limited/minimal option.We were lucky enough to get a close view of lion, tiger, cheetah, elephant etc. Try going morning or post lunch otherwise these animals would be sleeping and you wont enjoy the view.One good point is water tap available at accessible distance in case you need to wash your hands or any other purpose.Toilets could have been cleaner if maintained properly .. access at your own wish.

This is a great place to enjoy with your family and kids. You can carry your food and replenish yourselves. However plastic wrappers not allowed inside. Wonderful collection of birds and animals. Though I personally think that birds deserve larger area to live. Car parking is a challenge of course. I parked nearly 1.5 km far in a narrow lane.

Alipore Zoological Garden is one of the popular tourist attractions in Kolkata. It is situated in Alipore beside the National Library. There are many animals including elephant, tiger, lion, giraffes, different birds, reptiles, rhinos etc. But it is very saddening and unfortunate to observe that the zoo lacks proper maintenance. Almost all the animals look like old and tired and less fed. Government and the zoo authority should take care of the animals as well as the garden more efficiently. It is also the visitors who should be more responsible for not littering around. Perhaps strict policies, laws and regulations can only handle the situation.

Nice Place for Students, kids and family. Anyone can visit here with family. It is not only a zoological Garden it is also a picnic spot and everyone should visit here to refresh mind and spend time with family. Ticket price only 30Rs/-😄😄😄😄😄

Entry fee ₹30 per headNo charge for mobile or DSLR cameraVideography charge is ₹250 per hourCamera is not allowed inside reptile museum.Tickets can be booked from booking center beside the entry gate. E ticket can be booked to avoid the cue.Zoo is closed on Thursday. If Thursday is holiday, next working it will be closed. Only Mask is needed for entry.Major attractionsTiger, White tiger, Leopard, Jaguar, Lion, Hyena, Deer, crocodiles, snakes etc.

The Kolkata zoo located at Alipore is a very popular attraction with the locals. We had been here and spent half a day. The zoo has many enclosures housing animals like hippos and giraffes but they need to be maintained a bit more to make it more attractive for the tourists to visit.

A good place to spend the day with family and friends. Try to buy the ticket online as it will save the hassle of standing in long queues which would set you back by 15-20 minutes on a good day. The online ticket entry gate is just beside the main exit gate keep an eye for it as it is not prominently visible. Best time to visit the place is in winter when the weather is mellow. Tiger and lion enclosures and open air elephant and giraffe enclosures are a must watch. Food options inside the zoo is however limited so plan accordingly.Dont expect social distancing norms to be followed inside so its better to keep your mask on at all times and sanitize often to ensure your own safety.If you dont exit from the main gate call up your cab and mention zeerut bridge as the pickup location.

Wonderful experience. Zoo is well maintained. Lots of animals and birds. Kids will enjoy a lot. You will get multiple drinking water spots, mostly clean toilets, snacks counters inside. Price of things inside are normal - unlike most other parks which charges too high inside.Also be prepared to walk 4-5 kms to cover it fully. I saw no arrangement of a carrier for elderly people.Only drawback is car parking. Car parking charge is Rs. 100 outside - but that gets filled too early. We reached at 10 am and didnt get parking in front of the zoo.Had to go little far to park the car.

Very good place to visit and for refreshing with family. You can see different different kinds of birds. Really nice place.

Its one and only zoo in Kolkata. You can find and see almost every kind of animal inside this zoo.if you planning to visit Kolkata, you must visit this zoo once

Its a good place to see a diffrent animal with white tiger and bengal tiger specially different animals with their virtues, near this place a victory memorial and the park also available . Its locked du to pendamic covid now is open from 3 of Sept. 21

This is a large zoological garden. There are too many types of animals and plants should be seen. Very beautiful place.😍❤ Just love it.😍😍❤

Its a nice and peaceful place where we can spend lots of time with family.There are natural beauty.

Nice collection of different species

Lovely place, located in the heart of the city, a good place to relax. Exciting place to watch animals and birds

The Zoological Garden, Alipore (also informally called the Alipore Zoo or Calcutta Zoo) is Indias oldest formally stated zoological park (as opposed to royal and British menageries) and a big tourist attraction in Kolkata, West Bengal. It has been open as a zoo since 1876, and covers 18.811 ha (46.48 acres). It is probably best known as the home of the now expired Aldabra giant tortoise Adwaita, who was reputed to have been over 250 years old when he died in 2006. It is also home to one of the few captive breeding projects involving the Manipur brow-antlered deer. One of the most popular tourist attractions in Kolkata, it draws huge crowds during the winter season, especially during December and January. The highest attendance till date was on January 1, 2018 with 110,000 visitors.

The Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata is popularly known as Alipore Zoo or Calcutta Zoo. It is India’s oldest formally stated zoo and is the busiest tourist attractions in Kolkata, West Bengal. Spread across an area of 46.5 acres, the zoological garden was established and opened for visitors in 1876.

Best place for children.

I see first time inside of the alipore zoological garden.. Its much better my thoughts... Mostly i referred to those people who love nature,, who love wild....Please most visit,, & i thing to do after your visit you will be thanks to me for the review...

One of the most visiting place in KolkataWe received our stay as an anniversary present. It exceeded all expectations. This property is charming and magnificent in its décor. Annette and her husband Andy made us feel so welcome and at home. A tour of the B & B certainly enlightened us to the possibilities of their establishment- hosting, dinners, wine tasting, small meetings, accommodation for out of town guests of those living in the area- so much more intimate than a hotel. The living area is a great place to sit in the evening- we brought our Collingwood area family in to share the experience. Sharing morning coffee, books and the paper enhanced the beginning of the day in this room also. Bacchus House is exceptionally clean and the rooms are well appointed and elaborately dressed. Sparking white towels,soft sheets under a duvet , lovely toiletries, use of a bathrobe, make this a 5 star B & B. Breakfast was a feast. Beautiful china, lavish table linens, soft upbeat background music sets the scene. There are delicious selections of entrees, scrumptious muffins, juices, and fruits. Attentive service is provided by Annette. Parking is available and Bacchus House is walking distance to downtown for most. There is lots to do in Collingwood and area year round- no need to be a skier. We strongly suggest that you book early as this is a sought after location. We really enjoyed the hospitality and overnight experience

Good experience, specially for young kids. Lot of birds, deer, some tigers including white one, lion, elephant, leopard, jaguar, chimpanzee, zebra, bear, crocodile, alligator, turtle and others. The ticket counter may be crowded at times so better buy tickets online and get seamless entry. People were coming in group with homemade food, tea, rackets, bedsheet/carpets, some used newspapers to rest and enjoy group lunch.. Things which needs to improve - clean toilets and quality food items. Overall its good place for a kind of picnic.Outside road is pretty busy and you can find many street vendors selling food, toys, balloons, handmade caps, artificial jewelry etc. Public transport is available as well just from the gate for different parts of Kolkata.

We visited Alipore Zoological Garden a day before. At first we saw Zebra, there after Gorilla. After that we finished our lunch. After the lunch we saw Tiger, Indian Lion, Indian Rinoceros, Anaconda, Kangaroo, Indian Elephant and Giraffe. After that we finished our tiffin and everyone took a ice cream. After that we returned our house. In essence our tour to the Alipore Zoological Garden is charming.

I cant believe their entry is just 30 INR!! So much to see in so little time!! Youll have to spare a few hours but it will all be worth it.If youre lucky, you might even get to spot a Lion coming out of its comfort area (we werent so lucky). Although, we did get to spot Tigers & Elephants amongst a lot others. Its a must-visit place if youre in Calcutta!

After 12 years i visited on 6 Dec 2020. I found lots of changes over there . I found kangaroo 🦘 which was not there before and many animals and birds from foreign countries. Yeah the weather was sunny and cool . I like it.

Good place for kids as always and a good picnic spot in Kolkata as well. Situated just beside the National Library and opposite to the Taj Bengal its situated at a very prominent location and can be noted from anywhere. Its a must visit place for kids with family.

One of the best places to hang out with family and friends.However, due to the negligence of the people and the authorities, a lot of plastic waste is spreading around here.As a result, we are slowly destroying a beautiful place.There are some other negligence of the authorities for which the animals are being stolen or dying day by day.Therefore, the authorities need to take more drastic steps in this regard and the general public should also be very aware of the issues related to our environmental pollution.We need to be aware of our own well-being.

Yeah man. I mean literally perfect place to spend the day with your friend. It was awesome

A good place to lost among the animals. Please dont visit here on weekends because of the extreme crowds.

Amazing maintainece and efforts taken by the sept . Should be visited !!

Very good place

Such a good place for spending quality time with friends and family..Now its very clean and maintained..But the cages have too much layers that sometimes its very difficult to watch them specially the birds...Toiltes are clean..Ticket are available online and offline as well as..Please dont bring plastic.Keep it clean

I think authority may look on the cleaning and maintaining section... My humble request to all and authority if any one read my comment please dont allow any type of food in zoo... The garbage of the food materials and plastics polluted the environment of zoo.. Not allowed any types of snacks soap at zoo.. Only drinking water and washroom may need in zoo... At least zoo may be far from politics.. Because the money which spend here that was public money not any political leader pocket money....

Very nice zoo for family trip. It is very exciting for children.

Good place to gain knowledge and also to have a family outing. Only con is that some animals are kept in really small enclosures.Someone needs to think about helping the poor creatures too!

By keeping members of an endangered species in captivity, zoos create a population reservoir and, with the help of breeding programs, wild populations can be augmented with the introduction of animals bred in captivity.

Too charming but some animals are absent. But why ! Its unknown to me.

Loved the place. Proud to visit the largest zoo of India. All the animals are well conserved. I have enjoyed alot with my family and suggest others to visit if you are in kolkata...

Must visit. Well maintained & great collections of wild animals, birds, reptiles in Alipore Zoo.

Nice maintained place but nothing to eat inside as all of them are closed
