Thrissur Zoo, Animal park in Thrissur, India
Description
Thrissur Zoo is an animal park in Thrissur, Kerala, where mammals, birds and reptiles live in planted enclosures. The grounds also include an art museum displaying regional exhibits.
History
The animal park opened in 1885 during British colonial rule and ranks among the oldest such institutions in India. In recent decades the grounds have been expanded and reshaped several times.
Culture
The park carries the name of a southern Kerala city and draws local families who walk between the enclosures on weekends. A natural history museum on the grounds displays animal skeletons and offers insight into the region's fauna.
Practical
The entrance sits close to the city center and can be reached easily using local transport. The park opens daily except Mondays and suits a morning or afternoon visit.
Did you know?
A large expansion project aims to turn the grounds into a research and conservation center and greatly increase the area. This planned development would make the site one of the larger wildlife parks in southern India.
