Gandhi Zoological Park

Gandhi Zoological Park spans approximately 8 hectares and houses diverse animal species including white tigers, blackbucks, hyenas, sambars, bison, crocodiles, snakes, monkeys, and various bird species in well-maintained enclosures.

Established in 1902 as part of the Phool Bagh garden, the zoo was inaugurated by the Prince of Wales and represents one of the oldest zoological parks in the region with over a century of operation.

The park serves as an educational hub for local schools and families, promoting wildlife conservation awareness while being integrated with cultural sites including a prayer hall, gurudwara, mosque, and theosophical lodge within its premises.

The zoo operates Monday through Thursday and Saturday through Sunday from 9:15 AM to 6:30 PM, with entry fees of INR 20 for adults and INR 5 for children, accessible via the Phool Bagh Gurudwara bus stop.

The zoo uniquely combines wildlife conservation with historical heritage by being located within the historic Phool Bagh garden complex, offering visitors both animal observation and cultural exploration in a single location.
