Nestled amidst the bustling metropolis of Delhi, the National Zoological Park stands as a serene sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. As I ventured into this haven of biodiversity, I found myself immersed in a world where the harmony of nature reigns supreme.

Spanning over 176 acres, the zoo boasts a diverse array of species from across the globe, meticulously curated to provide a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Earth's fauna. From majestic tigers prowling in their enclosures to graceful giraffes grazing under the sun-kissed sky, every corner of the park holds a treasure trove of marvels waiting to be discovered.

One of the highlights of my visit was the unique opportunity to witness rare and endangered species up close, including the elusive white tiger and the majestic Asiatic lion. The zoo's conservation efforts shine through its breeding programs aimed at preserving vulnerable species, offering visitors a chance to witness firsthand the importance of wildlife preservation.

Moreover, the park's well-planned layout and lush greenery create an immersive experience, allowing visitors to meander through winding pathways adorned with verdant foliage. The tranquil ambiance, punctuated by the melodic chirping of birds and the gentle rustle of leaves, provides a welcome respite from the chaotic urban landscape outside.

For families, the National Zoological Park offers an educational and entertaining outing, with informative signboards and interactive exhibits guiding visitors through the wonders of the natural world. Children can delight in the playful antics of monkeys or marvel at the intricate patterns adorning the scales of exotic reptiles, fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity about the animal kingdom.

In conclusion, a visit to the National Zoological Park is a journey of discovery and appreciation for the beauty and diversity of life on Earth. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a tranquil retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle, this enchanting oasis promises an unforgettable experience that celebrates the wonders of the natural world.

It's a nice place to visit with kids and family. 2-3 hours is enough time to roam around. Well maintained. Drinking Water and Toilet facilities are available at many places but No food is allowed inside the Zoo, so eat properly before entering because there are no canteens inside the area. The advantage and disadvantage of Ticketing is Ticket books only through official websites. Maybe A non educated person will face an issue.

What a place to spend time. Wonderful environment, wonderful animals, everything wonderful.

Best place to spend time with kids, they'll learn many things about animal there. They'll get to see almost every animal which they usually see on tv or in their books.

You'll get to see lion, white tiger, royal bengal tiger, birds, monkeys, crocodile, hippopotamus, different types of deer, jackal, wild cat, peacock, elephant, ostrich, monkey, swan, etc.

Suggestion is to reach there between 8-9am to avoid unnecessary rush. If you wish to take ride from their e-passenger vehicle, that would be easily available during this time too else prefer walking as you'll love the green environment, but you'll be tired by end 🙈

It doesn't costs much but your experience will be great. Highly recommended. Maintenance by the government is also highly commendable

I recently visited the National Zoological Park in Delhi and had a fantastic time. The diverse range of animals in well-maintained enclosures was impressive. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and educational exhibits added to the positive experience. The zoo's commitment to conservation is commendable. I recommend it for a delightful day out!

Great place to visit with kids or friends. There are several animals in the zoo such as Leopard, Jaguar, White tiger, lion, hippopotamus, crocodile, elephant, fox, wolf, different kinds of monkeys etc. There are several birds as well in the zoo which are very rare and the colorful parrots are also a good mention.
Ticket fare is 80rs for adults and 40rs for children above 5 years. There is no fee for children below 5 years. For ticket booking, you need to do online booking because there are no ticket counters.
Overall it was a great and enjoyable trip and I'll recommend everyone who comes to Delhi to visit this zoo once.

Very nice place for kids and no eating things are allowed inside zoo, but you can carry the milk and water bottle for kids.
Book your ticket online or you can take it there also, but you can save time if you buy online. 80rs ticket
There is huge parking space 50rs car parking.
I will recommend that if you are coming with kids so take battery car, for which you have to take another ticket for 70rs per person and 5years above kids 40rs.

Please Avoid in summer ☀ time.
Zoo will open from 10am to evening 5pm

I visited the zoo with family last winter. This was our 4th visit. We like the place. Its well kept and maintained. Good place to hangout with kids.
Avoid visiting on a weekend or public holiday.
Winters are perfect for a visit as most of the most are out basking in the sun.

Kids and adults will equally enjoy the visit
. Tickets are available online only, so book in advance. Also don't forget to book electric cart, otherwise you would have to walk too much. It would take minimum 3 hrs to visit all the enclosures. Canteen at the entrance is closed since covid. Zoo is kept neat and clean, though washrooms at gate need better upkeep. Parking is free and plenty.

Excellent place to visit. The place has a numerous amount of animals and birds. Many of them are also extinct. A place in your heart also makes you feel that they should be set free and they should not caged just for the people. But on the other hand, if you see the bigger picture, the smaller children and teens should get to know the animal, should know more about the animals that are vulnerable to extinction. It’s important to teach the young ones the value of wildlife and also how beautiful it is. Now it’s not possible for everyone to visit a wildlife sanctuary, so the Zoological Parks come handy. But more or less, this Zoo is a must visit in Delhi.

Good place to spend 3-4 hours with family. it was good to see that the zoo was maintained pretty well. It was clean with some new décor and greenery. The signs were good. There were animals which looked healthy. The most important thing is that booking of tickets is being done online which is a good thing but people who were illiterate were seen having difficulty in booking tickets. No food stall is operational in the zoo, and taking food inside is strictly prohibited. So if traveling with kids it would be problematic. But one good thing is that drinking water and toilets are adequately available.

Very good place to visit with family and children if the weather is good. Otherwise, may face too much heat or cold. Very large area to roam around. Need to walk too much if you do not take the cart ride. Cart ride is also good, thetly have stops in between so you can enjoy the enclosures. Most of the animals are there and in good condition. The paths may be somewhat puzzled and you may got lost or miss any animals. Maps are there to help but not much easy to understand. No food and drinks are allowed inside and there is only a single canteen inside. Overall good experience, but tiring one.

It was such a great experience in zoo. Visited after almost 25 years. Zoo is such a neat and clean place to go with family. Well kept by the authorities. Winter season is the best time to visit with spectacular animal species like hoppo, rhino, white tiger, emu and specially ostrich. It was great to watch different types of deer herd. So far kids only read about some of the species only in the books which are on the verge of extinction but Delhi zoo gives them live opportunity and experience to see them physically. It's a must visit place being in Delhi.

The National Zoological Park in Delhi is like a big zoo in the middle of the city. You can see many different animals there.

The zoo takes good care of the animals and tries to help endangered species. They make sure the animals have homes that are similar to their natural habitats.

You can walk around and see all the animals, like tigers, lions, birds, and monkeys. Kids really like it, and they can learn about animals and why it's important to protect them.

But, it's important to remember to be kind to the animals and make sure they're okay. Some parts of the zoo might need a bit of improvement, though.

In short, the National Zoological Park in Delhi is a good place to see animals and have a nice day with your family or friends. It's also a place where they take care of animals and try to protect them.
