Wonderful experience. Visiting the zoo after 1 yr. Lots of effort has been made to improve the environment of the zoo. Congratulations to zoo management. Keep going the good work.

Very nice place to bring kids and enjoy. It has giraffe, royal bengal tiger, lion, hippo, lots of birds . The ticket price is Rs 50 per head. Very beautiful and well maintained place. The park opening is at 9 am and closing at 4pm. There is also a beautiful garden where you can enjoy your food. Overall a must visit place.

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 wont wait another quarter of a century to return.

One of the best Zoological garden. I do not find any wild animal I know is missed here. They have all the animals from the animal kingdom. I really liked the Chimpanzees entertaining the crowd by their way of playing with the swings. Best place to have your kids there to get familiar with animal kingdom.

Well a zoo is ofcourse a best place not only for kids but also for Adults to get attached to nature. And Alipore zoo is one of that. This zoo is well maintained, cleanliness is also taken care of. The only thing which is needed inside zoo is a Toto service for old people and people who couldnt walk so long.Do not take plastic bags with you otherwise you will be denied entry inside the zoo. Respect and enjoy the nature.

Zoo is good but I request visitors to avoid eating outside gate.I noticed this person using bad coconut and asked him not to, he said he has only one coconut and hes not bothered about good or bad coconut.So no food safety norms used here please avoid eating in such places especially in the entrance gate of zoo.Zoo is good with few rare birds and exclusive animals. Maintained neatly but people spit here and there without thinking about cleanliness that too they spit paan vimal which should be banned soon from India 🇮🇳.

The place is very good to visit. The environment of the place is very calming and eye-heart-mind-soul soothing. The area is covered with lots of trees. Different species of animals are there. Its a very good place to visit and spending your quality time with family and friends. I would recommend to visit this place and enjoy by becoming an integral part of nature.

There are very few animals in the zoo. I remember the day when I visited there in my childhood. That time the zoo was actually ZOO and full of greenery, the animals were also healthy and active but this time the animals were not looking healthy and were less active. I saw the panda in my early visit but in my last visit many animals, reptiles, and birds were missing.

It was really a great experience for me. The entrance ticket fee is very less. A good place to visit with you family and friends. It would take only 3-4 hrs to cover the whole area.There are food stalls available from place to place inside the zoo.The place is well maintained. Would really visit, if I ever come to Kolkata again.

Alipore Zoo is an iconic place of the city. City people have nostalgic memories here since their childhood. It goes without saying that one can see many many species of animals birds, reptiles here. There is a building for the nocturnals and also a lake where migratory birds settle for winter.However, there have been changes made here recently for the better. In fact, kudos to the authorities to keep making constant improvements. A recent upgradation is proper barricading - double nets have been installed to prevent people from throwing objects inside the enclosures and many plants have been planted to distance the humans from the barricades even. Many enclosures are now encased with glass on the visitors viewing side. There are area maps in many places to guide visitors through the enclosures and also to denote their present location. The cleanliness quotient has also improved.

Great place for an outing, picnic and fun with family. The Zoo is not that big, it has a decent area and is maintained well. The animals here are very limited and mostly birds, but it has the important ones like Elephant, tiger, lion, giraffe, rhino etc. The entry ticket is fairly priced. They should try to get more animals to make the place more attractive.

This is one of the best zoo in our country there are many rare species in the park and many rare trees also which can only be found in there and well maintained by the staff. Best place for kids, family, adults. I visited this place after many years and really enjoyed a lots. Hope so more new animals are added it will be so fun more fun. Looking forward to visit again. Thank you for the amazing memories.

I went there with my family in this summer. You can visit this Zoo with your family, friends, and girlfriend as well. You will have a new experience if you visit this place. Ticket price only 30 rupees per person.

Loved it.Fantastic experienceTotally recommended go... go... go ,you will get best experienceHere you get chance to see all types of animals, reptiles, birds.I assure you will get chance to see some known and some animal which you havent see or know.Best zoo

Zoos are never good... We all know how animals and birds are tortured over there... But then too these time, environment was cleaner than 5 years ago.. I saw a 16 year old giraffe there, it was written for adoption....I dont know but I really wanted to adopt that baby..!!! 😍🥰But the thing is expenses for him is much more and the salary I get, may be not enough for him...Not today but one day I shall adopt them all for sure... ❤What fascinated me was those plants and trees... All with scientific name and common name.... Because of them only, I will revisit that place.... 😊😊if u r really into trees then go for it,

It was awesome moment to observe the wild creatures very closely. But sign board and map should have been slightly better because sometimes you find yourself in a maze.

The Alipore Zoological Park is the oldest Zoological Park in India built in 1875. A campus adorned with some of the most beautiful buildings that makes this Zoological Park, a beautiful harmony of history and life sciences. An abode of true learning.So happy to spend International Snake Day today with some very lovely people.

Beautiful place you can plan here. Well maintained place, apt for family outing. But Visitors are making this place dirty. Authorities to be more strict in this regard. And the zoo is closed on Thursday.

There is a map made in 2 to 3 places in it so that it can be known which animal is where, because it is very largest zoo.

Good for one time visit, especially School going kids as they can see animals live as in their books. Also can learn about there extinction related threat. Carry your own food and ample water, be ready for loooooooong walk inside zoo.

One of the best zoo in the country in terms of the variety of flora and fauna. Maintenance is decent but could be modernised a bit. Still dirt cheap in therms of entry. Nice place for a family outing. Kids obviously love it.

Its a zoological garden so youll find animals and also different types of trees and plants!The tiger is very joyfulThe 2 elephants are very cuteAlegators are very clam🦒s are fabulousLion is lazyHippo is also lazyDeers are greatNice place for weekend!

I visited zoo after 2-3 decades and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was neat clean. I advise reaching there before 10am. It was nice experience but Food quality and options should be improved

Good And Enjoyable Place For Every Age✅ Tickets Price Is Decent✅ In The Howrah Station 20-30 Minutes To Reach✅ Bathroom, Water and Food Also Available✅ Outside Food Allow🛑 When the Park Close, You Have To worry About Bus ( Very very Crowded )🛑 Avoid Special Days To View Best Scenes

Went there after a long time.... It is a smooth journey with loved ones.... From a small picnic to a small tour or just visiting the zoo.... any of this is good.... Has many variety of animals.... Fare is 30/- per head only.... Just visit there in winter and do not forget to bring oranges🍊🍊🍊🍊

its feel very amazing for me and my child after visit this zoo in Alipore Kolkata.its near to main city not take many time to reach. they are very well in management i am so happy that available washroom / toilet for mens and gents are here. also so neat and clean. food quality good in food court area. not so expensive price are reasonable and with in hand . ice cream parlor also avails here. with lots of brand and flavor. drinking water spot is in many point inside of zoo.

Spent a lovely day. It was quite crowded considering today a week day . But very lucky animals were actively roaming . Maximum were out of their cave . Picnic spots were full. Had to walk a lot but was really worth it. Went 2 years back again today. Relishing old memories.

Good place for children but not suitable atmosphere for animals. There are very noise and sound, heavy crowd this area. And toilet is very dirty and water not available mainly ledies toilet not clear.

One of the favourite places for kids of all ages...this zoological garden is situated at Alipore amidst sprawling acres of land and water bodies. The varieties of wild life, birds makes this place a very enjoyable one for people of all age groups. The place has ample spots for family picnics and even small food outlets where one can get sumptuous snacks at reasonable prices. This zoo also has the royal Bengal tiger which is one of the largest attractions of this place.

Good and great place to spend a day..You can take food and have lunch inside too. You also get a feeding area for your babies, but unfortunately, when we went, its was still waiting for its inauguration.

Alipore Zoo is the oldest legal zoo in India and a major tourist destination in Kolkata. This is a very beautiful place for bird and animal lovers. You too can come out here with your children. And all the animals that can be seen in a forest can be seen here.

Nice place to visit, will go soon once the undergoing construction finished. Overall, it is pretty good with lot of green plants and clean surroundings. Only at one or two I find there is no cleanliness otherwise it is very beautiful and mesmerizing.Area is sectioned into different parts for various categories of animals.I went in rainy time so felt that tiles are bit slippery though.Food items are not worth for the cost paid.

An excellent place to be. Time will fly by and you wont even get a hint of it. Friends or family, this place be savored with anyone. This being the oldest formally stated zoo in india holds a heritage of its own. The open enclosures and the glass separated ones are indeed lovely. As winter progresses the crowd only gets thicker. People tends to make it picnic spot for no reason and making the place dirty as a result.

Wonderful experience after a long time. Most of the time we go to malls...but experiencing natural animal, birds...nature... Wonderful feeling... specially my both kids have blast there. Its not only about seeing animals...but excitement behind seeing wild animals so close was the game. Everyone should go once in a year.

Absolutely beautiful place.... Children will enjoy a lot.... Mesmerizing place.... Memorable... All types of animals and birds are available here.... Ticket price is 30 rupees each.... Inside food is also available.... You will enjoy a lot... It opens at 10:00 am and Friday it remains closed...

This is zoo is best that I saw so far. It has kangaroos, a giant tortoise, giraffes , zebra and lot more foreign animals.They are placed so nicely, so that someone wont miss anything. And youll get a clean view of animals from near.Many shades are there to take a break, food stalls, washroom, drinking water facilities are everywhere.Only one thing they can improve, they can install battery vehicles for elderly.
